Desirable

• At Outrider, you'll develop, improve upon, and ship cutting-edge software that drives next-generation freight transportation
• Your work will directly contribute to autonomous systems that move millions of tons of freight across shipping & logistics centers, revolutionizing the way goods are transported globally
• Over time, your contributions will enhance efficiency, safety, precision, and sustainability across the supply chain
• Throughout your time at Outrider, you'll collaborate across teams and functions to build and maintain robust systems that keep the global economy moving
• This role, formally Senior Engineer, Embedded, Sensors, and Safety Software, will support the creation of reliable, safety-critical software that senses, monitors and controls the vehicle
• Lead the architecture, design, implementation, and delivery of real time software that processes raw sensor data into a consumable input to autonomy features (e.g. aggregated LiDAR point cloud)
• Create and enhance offline tooling in C++, Python and other languages as appropriate
• Evaluate, diagnose, and monitor sensor performance in test and deployment environments
• Develop/document software through all phases of the development lifecycle: concept, requirements, design, architecture, implementation, unit test, integration (HIL), and vehicle level system evaluation
• Assist in mentoring and educating the team and organization on HPC, perception sensors best practices, processes and tools
• Contribute generally to the growth and success of the Company and the building of a vibrant culture focused on the responsible deployment of zero-emission autonomous vehicle technology
• While this position is focused on “Sensors”, the “Safety Software” component will also give the opportunity to:
• Lead the architecture, design, implementation, and delivery of application-level safety mechanisms
• Solve complex system safety problems with elegant solutions and apply judgment and experience to balance trade-offs between competing interests
