Role

Who you are

You are a self-starter and comfortable working on designs from initial architecture through production
5+ years of experience developing C++ multi-threaded applications, ideally for QNX targeting multiple ARM cores
Experience in profiling and benchmarking C++ applications and optimizing code for maximum performance
Experience developing applications that interact with HW on QNX
Experience working cross-functionally with other teams such as DSP, Hardware, and Testing teams
Passion to make embedded SW applications resilient, safe, and production-grade
Experience with scripting languages: Python, and Shell scripts
Hands-on experience with modern build systems, particularly Bazel

Desirable

Experience with one or more of the following: Microcontrollers, SoC, device drivers, hardware bring-up, power management, performance optimization or hardware/software integration, and RTOS
Experience developing applications with ROS / ROS2
Familiarity with processes such as ASPICE and Static Analysis Tools
Understanding of MISRA guidelines
Experience in implementing or integrating diagnostics (UDS services, DIDs, DTCs) within AUTOSAR communication stacks
Skilled in developing with automotive communication protocols (CAN, Automotive Ethernet, SOME/IP) and industrial Ethernet protocols
Experience integrating embedded software into HIL/SIL validation environments

What the job involves

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer with an emphasis on Embedded systems
Design and implement real-time applications on ARM processors interfacing with multiple sensors mainly in C++
Participate in the team's software processes, including requirements and design documentation, test-plan generation and execution, peer design and code reviews, process feedback, and improvements
Debug complicated issues as they arise during product development
Work in a dynamic and fast-pace environment

Our take

The development of self-driving cars presents enormous opportunities for transportation, shipping, and ride-hailing industries, but getting these cars to run flawlessly is difficult. Cameras and radar sensors are used to detect obstacles for safe automated driving, but existing technology does not analyze enough data to meet these expectations.

Aeva builds sensory perception technology that maps the physical world around a vehicle on a granular basis to contribute towards the development of fully self-driving cars. The sensory system relies on what the company describes as being the world’s first 4D LiDAR-on-Chip. This technology comprises sensors that detect objects and events up to 300m away, recognize velocity-per-pixel, and are immune to interference from neighbouring frequencies.

Companies such as Tesla are already developing successful and safe fully self-driving software for their cars, but Aeva's approach to LiDAR presents some serious competition to the existing camera-based technology. Despite further competition from Luminar and Velodyne, Aeva remains unique and has even secured a partnership with NVIDIA to integrate its 4D LiDAR into the DRIVE Hyperion autonomous vehicle platform, placing its technology at the core of how future self-driving cars will see, understand, and safely navigate the road.
