Role
Who you are
- We’re seeking a candidate with strong systemic thinking, exceptional debugging and troubleshooting abilities, and deep expertise in C++, Python, and Linux-based environments
- MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics or a related field
- Strong analytical and runtime troubleshooting skills, with comfort in on-vehicle debugging and performance profiling
- Proficient in C++ and Python
- Experience working with large codebases in a fast-paced, evolving environment
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Proficiency with Linux systems, including kernel tuning, network configuration, device tree management, and time synchronization
- Willingness to travel up to 25% for on-site integration support
Desirable

What the job involves
- In this role, you’ll play a pivotal role in the development, integration, and optimization of our latest generation vehicle platform that powers our autonomy stack. This hands-on role involves working directly with cutting-edge autonomous systems, including sensors, actuators, and compute hardware, to ensure safe and seamless driverless operation
- You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and take ownership of core runtime features and drive robust system performance from prototype to production
- Perform hands-on debugging and drive continuous improvements across the on-vehicle platform and autonomous software stack
- Integrate sensors and actuators, support on-site testing and validation activities
- Design and develop fault detection and fault-handling strategies for the on-vehicle platform
- Design and implement comprehensive system validation strategies, leveraging on-vehicle testing, Software-in-the-Loop (SiL), and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) simulations
Our take
With self-driving vehicles becoming more common, the tuck shipping industry stands to benefit from autonomous driving technology, particularly given the current shortage of drives in the US.
Plus provides self-driving technology for trucks to make fleets safer, more fuel-efficient, and sustainable. It uses machine learning to analyze routes and scenarios, providing real-time data to trucks equipped with the PlusDrive system. Unlike competitors focusing on urban transportation, Plus is tackling long-distance logistics, though regulatory challenges in the US remain a concern.
Currently, Plus offers a system that enhances driver safety and efficiency, while continuing to develop fully autonomous solutions. Following a successful pilot with IVECO, Plus is testing its automated trucks on German roads and plans to expand into European markets.
