Bonus Points: * Master's degree with 4+ years of experience or PhD with 2+ years. * Experience with Infineon Aurix microcontrollers. * Familiarity with AUTOSAR architecture and standards. * Prior work in robotics, autonomy, or other safety-critical systems. ## Description The Compute Platform MCU Applications team is responsible for developing all software that runs on the safety microcontroller in Torc's autonomous trucks. These applications are critical for monitoring and aggregating hardware and software faults and relaying key information to the virtual driver. We also develop software interfaces between the Torc autonomous driver and the base vehicle. Our work ensures software commonality, architecture consistency, and system reliability in safety-critical environments., In this role, you'll bring a strong foundation in software engineering principles, with deep expertise in C++, algorithm development, and software design. You'll develop high-performance C++ applications that run on real-time embedded systems-powering critical features like system monitoring and fault handling. This team is also responsible for building the communication layer between the Torc Autonomous Driver and the base vehicle platform. As a Software Engineer II, you'll play a key role in supporting technical direction, mentoring junior developers, and driving engineering excellence. From requirements and software design to coding, testing, and deployment automation-you'll own the full development lifecycle of a software component in a collaborative, Agile environment. Your impact will extend beyond code, helping to refine scalable frameworks and uphold best practices across the team. * Write C++ applications for real-time embedded systems used in system monitoring and fault handling. * Develop software that bridges the Torc autonomous driving system with the underlying base vehicle. * Lead component design and implementation efforts for embedded applications from concept to deployment. * Execute the full software development lifecycle including requirements, design, coding, unit testing, integration, and automation. * Provide hands-on mentorship and technical guidance to junior engineers on software development best practices. * Collaborate cross-functionally in an Agile development environment. ## Related Videos - [Are you still programming unit tests or already generating?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/722-are-you-still-programming-unit-tests-or-already-generating) - [How Regex Works: The Secret Sauce Behind Pattern Matching](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1212-how-regex-works-the-secret-sauce-behind-pattern-matching) - [ShapeShift: Reinventing Agile for a B2B SaaS Scale-Up](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1655-shapeshift-reinventing-agile-for-a-b2b-saas-scale-up) - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) - [How Unit Testing Saved My Career](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1642-how-unit-testing-saved-my-career) - [Car's are Technology on Wheels - Impact of Software and IT Competence in Automotive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/780-car-s-are-technology-on-wheels-impact-of-software-and-it-competence-in-automotive) ## 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) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [The Ultimate Software Engineer Career Path Guide for 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/146-the-ultimate-software-engineer-career-path-guide-for-2023)
