Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Own and productionize core localization systems (state estimation, mapping, calibration). Build monitoring, diagnostics, validation, and deployment tooling. Integrate sensors, tune performance, run regression testing, and iterate using data from real autonomous airport operations to enable driverless capability.

Lead design, analysis, and verification/validation of autonomous vehicle subsystems. Develop data pipelines for V&V, author and maintain requirements and architecture artifacts, define safety behaviors, track KPIs, surface risks, collaborate cross-functionally, mentor junior engineers, and support deployments. Up to 25% travel.

Design, build, and maintain cloud-based data pipelines and infrastructure on AWS, integrating on-prem and cloud flows. Implement IaC, CI/CD, containerization, observability, and automation to ensure high-throughput, reliable data ingestion and processing for autonomous systems.

Lead and scale the autonomy organization, owning technical strategy and roadmap for perception, prediction, planning, controls, and localization. Manage hiring, operating cadence, and delivery across the autonomy stack, interface with Systems, Safety, Platform, Hardware, Simulation, and Product, and remain hands-on in design reviews and debugging to deliver production autonomy on real vehicles.

Perform software safety lifecycle tasks: hazard analyses (HARA, FMEA, FTA, STPA), derive and trace software safety requirements, review C++/Python/ROS code, define fail-safes, collaborate across teams, and support safety cases for airport deployment per ISO 26262 and SOTIF.

Lead system safety engineering for autonomous ground vehicles: perform hazard analyses (HARA, FMEA, FTA, STPA), FMEDA and PMHF, calculate failure rates per industry standards, derive and trace functional and hardware safety requirements for supervised and driverless operation, evaluate sensors and drive-by-wire architectures, and support safety case evidence for airport deployment.

Seeking a Staff Cloud Software Engineer to architect and manage scalable cloud systems on AWS, improve security, and mentor engineers.

The Senior Reliability Engineer will establish AeroVect's reliability engineering practice, leading reliability analyses and managing external testing programs to ensure product durability and performance across operational environments.

Senior individual contributor owning technical direction across Perception, Prediction, or Planning for on-vehicle autonomy. Design autonomy architecture, drive robustness, oversee model lifecycle and integration, and convert high-level decisions into production code running at scale on vehicles.

The role involves architecting 3D object detection models, managing data pipelines, developing datasets for training, and mentoring junior engineers.
