As a Senior Software Control Integration Engineer, you will work on state-of-the-art autonomous vehicle technologies with leaders in AI / deep learning, computer vision, and vehicle control. You will be responsible for developing, maintaining and integrating autonomous auto control algorithms and software. You will develop solutions for vehicle trajectory tracking, model predictive control, and vehicle state estimation. You should have strong analytical skills, good communication, and interpersonal capabilities to work in a team and make a joint effort towards a common goal. Prior knowledge about vehicle control, vehicle ECU, Drive-by-Wire systems, and in-vehicle network and autonomous vehicles are highly valued. What you'll be doing: * Contribute to the development related to vehicle dynamics and control and support other teams in such areas, e.g. ACC/LK, urban driving, trajectory planning, vehicle operation limit estimation, emergency maneuvers (collision avoidance, mitigation), etc. * Design technologies needed to build Autonomous Vehicle software stack, write new software modules from scratch that drive our vehicles. * Provide feedback for overall system design to product level: system architecture, failure mode, system redundancy, etc. * Build new performance offline and online benchmarks for vehicle control. * Define and build tools to tune our vehicle dynamics control and manage calibration updates for various vehicle types. * Drive integration efforts of control functionality across different platforms, support troubleshooting of control and actuation issues in vehicles. * Develop and maintain vehicle test suites to detect control integration problems, develop and maintain automated tests to ensure SW quality and prevent regressions. * Most importantly, work on groundbreaking and innovative technology, tackle difficult problems, and help build a world-class system! ## Related Videos - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [Getting Started with Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/260-getting-started-with-machine-learning) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Software stack under and over the hood of the fastest accelerating car in the world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/221-software-stack-under-and-over-the-hood-of-the-fastest-accelerating-car-in-the-world) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [What Jobs Can You Get with a Software Engineering Degree?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/398-what-jobs-can-you-get-with-a-software-engineering-degree) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
