Jobs at Kodiak Robotics

Run and improve large-scale simulation suites to validate autonomous trucking software. Design test plans and scenarios, execute and triage daily simulations, report results, collaborate with engineers to ensure realistic scenarios, and enhance simulation tooling and automation to accelerate safe software development.

Lead and enhance FP&A processes, build advanced financial and business models, produce recurring and ad-hoc performance analysis and KPIs, support quarterly close and public reporting, implement FP&A systems, and provide financial guidance for commercial opportunities, corporate initiatives, M&A, investor relations, and business operations.

The Senior Product Analyst at Kodiak Robotics will analyze product performance and KPIs, provide insights for product development, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive improvements.

Design and implement feedback, control, and actuation strategies using techniques for safety-critical software in autonomous vehicles, collaborating with various teams to ensure robust vehicle control architecture.

Build tooling, libraries, workflows, and evaluation systems to accelerate behavior and motion planning development. Improve testing, debugging, metrics, simulation, observability, and safety-case support while partnering with Planning engineers and leading infrastructure projects.

The Functional Safety Engineer will perform hardware safety analyses, develop technical safety requirements, allocate requirements to hardware components, and support hardware-software interface development, ensuring compliance with ISO 26262 standards for autonomous vehicles.

As a Software Engineer in Motion Planning, you'll design algorithms for safe road navigation, improve driving performance, and enhance the motion planning software.

The Senior Vehicle Integration Engineer will lead system-level integration of autonomous vehicle components, manage full integration lifecycle, develop test plans, and ensure documentation and quality for new platform developments.

Develop and integrate onboard navigation, sensor fusion, and pose estimation algorithms for autonomous trucking. Optimize IMU, camera, and lidar-based odometry and evaluate sensor performance, calibrations, and navigation metrics. Collaborate across teams, produce clear design documentation, and deliver high-reliability deployed software.

Lead product strategy and execution for Kodiak's Level 4 autonomous trucking platform. Define multi-year roadmaps, own product lifecycle from requirements to deployment, align cross-functional teams, manage customer relationships, and set metrics and readiness criteria. Mentor PMs, influence executive resourcing decisions, and travel to deployment sites to maintain operational proximity.

Lead product analytics strategy for Kodiak's autonomous trucking platform: define metric frameworks, design experimentation, architect analytical pipelines and dashboards, surface executive-level insights, close measurement gaps with engineering, mentor senior analysts, and represent analytics in cross-functional leadership. Travel periodically to deployments.

Design and deploy machine learning systems for autonomous vehicles, collaborating with teams to improve model performance and safety using real-world data.

Develop and validate high-fidelity simulations of articulated truck dynamics, model coupled tractor-trailer interactions and environmental effects, analyze simulation vs. on-road data, evaluate controller performance, and contribute to safety cases for driverless operation.

Own the full product lifecycle for Level 4 autonomous trucking solutions: define requirements, prioritize features, drive cross-functional execution, monitor KPIs, gather user feedback, communicate progress and risks, and support commercial deployments.

Lead end-to-end product development for Assisted Autonomy, defining strategy, roadmap, KPIs, and requirements. Drive hardware and software integration, partner with Engineering, Ops, Safety and customers, manage releases and field deployments, and travel up to 25% to gather operational feedback.

Manage inbound/outbound shipments, maintain inventory accuracy through cycle counts, investigate discrepancies, fulfill kit requests, assist truck loading/unloading, and support warehouse process improvements and safety.

The Senior IT Systems Engineer at Kodiak Robotics will oversee support for users, automate IT processes, and manage network infrastructure, collaborating on various IT projects.

Lead and scale end-to-end supply chain for an autonomous trucking hardware company. Own planning, procurement, inventory, contract manufacturing, warehouse/logistics, financial controls (CIP/accounting), compliance, and cross-functional partnerships. Build team, processes, and systems (SAP/MRP, S&OP) to move from low-volume to high-volume production while driving cost reduction, audit readiness, and real-time material visibility.

Lead product strategy for Kodiak's Level 4 autonomous trucking hardware stack (sensors, compute, vehicle integration). Define multi-year roadmaps, drive architecture-level trade-offs, align cross-functional teams, own end-to-end product lifecycle and deployments, mentor PMs, and communicate progress to executives and customers. Travel to deployment and partner sites ~10–25%.

Design, validate, and debug medium-to-high complexity PCBA and electrical subsystems for autonomous vehicles. Lead DFMEA, ISO 26262/ASIL compliance, thermal and power validation, root-cause analysis, and cross-functional integration from schematic through product release.
