Senior Software Integration Engineer

Responsibilities

• Be responsible for the full lifecycle of the HMI application, from architectural design and software integration to performance tuning and in-vehicle validation.
• Specify and implement a full stack SW architecture that integrates vehicle telemetry data, human-machine interface (HMI) hardware (physiological sensing, touch displays, audio, AR headsets), machine learning (ML) models, LLMs, and 2D UIs.
• Work closely with vehicle HW engineers to integrate SW architecture onto vehicles.
• Collaborate with front-end SW engineers and designers to integrate UX code into the system.
• Integrate and modify existing research code that comprise key components of the system.
• Lead the effort to coordinate and restructure research code into modular, stable and well-documented functions.
• Establish continuous integration, test, and deployment automation for software releases (CI/CD).
• Deploy the SW system in-vehicle at a real race track, provide debugging support, and train UX researchers to operate the system independently during user studies.
• Contribute to documentation and information exchange among engineering and research teams.
• Review and guide others in writing clean and maintainable code.
• Manage the overall timeline for system development delivery and work closely with technical program manager to ensure milestones are achieved.
• Work on-site at our Los Altos office and travel monthly to a race track for vehicle testing.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, or related field, with 5+ years of industry experience.
• Deep understanding of C++ and Python toolchains.
• Deep understanding and hands on experience with ROS2 framework.
• Strong understanding of Linux-based development, containerization (e.g., Docker), and system-level debugging tools.
• Consistent track record to navigate and integrate large codebases and research prototypes into complex systems.
• Demonstrated experience owning and delivering sophisticated applications or subsystems in production-like environments.
• Experience with UI development, including web-based interfaces or using game engines (e.g., Unity, Unreal Engine).
• Ability to design, deploy, and manage systems in cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly across different audiences.
• Have a high level of initiative and self-motivation, work without direct supervision.

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience developing mobile apps with cloud integration and interfaces to vehicle systems.
• Experience working with or training machine learning models (e.g., model optimization, pipelines, MLOps).
• Experience deploying SW on vehicle platforms or other complex HW systems.
• Experience working in a research environment.
• Experience deploying SW in the field.
