Company mission
To build driving intelligence to power a safer and greener world.
Role
Who you are
- BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- Proficiency in C++14 or later
- Strong understanding of Linux development tools, including build systems, compilers, debuggers, and performance analyzers
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Proactive problem-solving mindset: ability to identify, propose, and implement solutions
Desirable
- Experience in writing, debugging, and profiling multithreaded C++ applications
- Familiarity with robotics-related libraries such as ROS
- Knowledge of real-time OS, database internals, network programming, GPGPU, or robotics
What the job involves
- You will develop and optimize the core infrastructure that facilitates reliable, low-latency execution of on-vehicle robotics software
- Your mission extends beyond building a rock-solid foundation for autonomous driving — you will also equip engineers with the tools needed to analyze system behavior, identify performance bottlenecks, and enhance robustness
- In this role, you will contribute to existing frameworks, libraries, and tools while also designing and implementing new components across various mission-critical domains
- Design and optimize low-latency interprocess communication and data flow monitoring
- Develop high-performance event logging and structured telemetry
- Implement safety-enhanced memory allocators and efficient memory provisioning policies
- Build lock-free data structures and algorithms to support real-time system requirements
- Work on network communication and coherency protocols
- Develop on-the-fly component health monitoring and rapid response mechanisms for critical events
- Manage on-vehicle configurations and system state validation
- Optimize low-level OS interactions and fine-tune system performance
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.
