Kodiak Robotics Benefits Overview

Design and improve behavior and motion planning systems for autonomous vehicles. Own planning features from problem definition through deployment, using logs, simulation, metrics, and real-world data to debug and validate autonomy behavior. Develop production-quality C++ software, define safety and performance metrics, participate in technical reviews, and collaborate across prediction, controls, perception, machine learning, simulation, systems, and safety teams. Mentor engineers and provide system-level judgment on deployment readiness.

Owns end-to-end multi-state payroll operations for salaried and hourly employees, including regular and off-cycle runs, equity-related transactions, tax filings, and year-end reporting. Manages payroll accounting, journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, month-end close, internal controls, SOX compliance, and audits. Partners with Accounting, Finance, People Operations, and Stock Administration to resolve issues, improve processes, and ensure accurate, compliant payroll and financial reporting.

Designs and implements onboard vehicle systems integrating autonomy hardware, embedded devices, AI, and vehicle platforms. Responsibilities include testing vehicle actuation systems, developing real-time operating system components and C++ infrastructure, building reliable compute and network systems, deploying autonomous trucks, and analyzing system performance. Requires 5+ years of software development connected to hardware, modern C++, CAN protocols, and Linux debugging. Experience with control systems, Bazel, bare-metal or RTOS platforms, and ISO 26262 is preferred.
