Company mission
To provide a 24/7 mobility service solution that is environmentally net-negative in terms of greenhouse gas production (GHG), and, inherently profitable.
Role
Who you are
- Expert level knowledge of C or C++ programming; other languages and skills also valuable
- Experience with driver development for sensors and actuators and usage of test frameworks with Hardware in the Loop
- Experience developing on resource-constrained embedded hardware
- Experience with ML training and inference methods
- Bonus points for contributions to an AI framework
- Strong knowledge of communication protocols, from low level (SPI, UART, CAN) to high level (TCP/UDP)
- Experience with robotics middleware, such as ARK, LCM, ROS, or ROS2
- Experience with Linux operating systems, especially embedded environments
- Bonus points for additional experience with automotive or other real time safety critical systems
What the job involves
- The Onboard Infrastructure team, as a part of Software Platform, works closely with teams across Glydways spanning Vehicle Hardware to Autonomy to provide the software foundation for running and controlling the robot on the road
- Whether it’s streaming data from the latest sensors, controlling actuators on the vehicle, creating a custom OS, shipping a new ML framework, or writing tools and systems to support live track operations - the Onboard Infrastructure team gets things done to keep the vehicle and other teams moving forward
- Design, build, and test mission critical onboard software for the Glydways platform
- Write high performance code responsible for interfacing with onboard devices, from sensors (Camera, Radar, LiDAR, IMU) to vehicle systems (DBW, controls, actuators, etc)
- Develop and integrate runtimes and middlewares for code and ML models to execute and communicate onboard
- Contribute to design and implementation for live track operations such as software deployment, vehicle provisioning, and logging
- Work with Autonomy teams to design, build, and execute runtime and evaluation pipelines
- Decode, implement, and optimize communication with devices over various protocols, transports, middlewares, and connections
Our take
Although more than 4000 cities across the globe meet the threshold for necessary urban mass transit systems, under 5% of them have the capacity to make it a reality. Glydways' autonomous electricity-powered transport systems could provide a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative for the 95% without rail or transport systems.
Glydways' Personal Rapid Transit systems consist of battery-operated electric vehicles called Glydcars that travel on dedicated rights of way. These “roads” can be built above ground level or through tunnels, and can integrate with other forms of public transport already existing within the city or town.
Whilst the adding of Glydcars infrastructure brings up questions of extra cost, the company’s mass transit solution has nonetheless attracted positive attention, as well as serious investment from the likes of Bill Gates' venture fund Gates Frontier. This round of funding follows news that the Glydcar has been chosen as part of two Californian transport developments, with only time able to reveal how successful the system will be.
