As a Senior Autonomy Stack Integration Engineer in the Land Domain, you will ensure proper end-to-end functionality of our products across the whole autonomy stack. You will have a unique overview and understanding of details of all interacting components and work with the teams to make sure that component integration, tooling, and verification are innate to our development processes and that broader stack changes are exercised swiftly and with minimal friction. You will work at the intersection of the autonomy software stack, vehicle manufacturers, and our SW Factory, making sure our vehicle controls are robust, safe, and reliably deployable. What is your Day to Day Mission: * Lead by example with excellent engineering practices within your team as well as all other land domain teams * Ensure that component teams can integrate their components safely and easily as much as possible and enable component team ownership after integration. * Set priorities, ensure delivery of high-quality engineer, and establish best practices for specification, development, testing, and review for both your team and the component teams you work with. * Be responsible for the end-to-end integration of the autonomy stack on our ground vehicle platforms, from individual software components to a functioning autonomous system. * Establish and maintain a deep understanding of the interfaces, dependencies, timing, data flows, and failure modes across the autonomy stack. * Own system-level troubleshooting and triaging, identify issues across component boundaries, and work with the responsible teams to drive them to resolution. * Build and maintain the tooling required to inspect, diagnose, reproduce, and understand system behavior across the complete autonomy stack. * Define and maintain representative integration environments, configurations, datasets, scenarios, and system-level tests. * Ensure integration on the vehicles and drive issues to resolution: strong troubleshooting, triaging, and integration discipline. * Apply robust software development practices across all parts of the stack the team is responsible for. * Build and run VnV setups for any changes your team exposes on the autonomy stack, from bench and rig testing to vehicle-level testing. * Establish automated testing and deployment in strong alignment with the SW Factory (target CI). * Treat safety and security as first-class requirements throughout development and integration. * Work hand-in-hand with Perception, Motion Planning & Control, Pilot, vehicle platform, SW Factory, Verification & Validation, and ground operations teams. * Establish clear interfaces and integration contracts between teams and identify integration risks early. * Coordinate broader autonomy stack changes involving multiple teams and ensure that they are validated end-to-end.What you bring to the team., * Work-life Balance: We offer flexible work schedules, and 30 days of paid vacation each year to support your personal and professional life. * Lunch Benefit: We promote healthy eating and the well-being of our employees with a monthly lunch budget. * Health & Wellness: We support your physical well-being with a company-subsidized eGym Wellpass membership, giving you access to thousands of gyms and sports facilities. ## Related Videos - [Robots are coming into the wild!
