- Build and improve system level tooling for health management, telemetry and incident handling
- Own performance profiling and optimization across vehicle and remote driving compute
- Contribute to the evaluation and selection of compute hardware for vehicles and remote driving stations
- Improve and extend hardware in the loop test setups to accelerate feedback cycles
- Support the production fleet in Berlin and Las Vegas on a scheduled basis
- Collaborate closely with autonomy, systems and fleet teams to ensure safe and scalable deployments
What you'll need
- Strong proficiency in C++17 and Linux based systems
- Experience working with ROS (ROS1 and/or ROS2)
- Deep understanding of system profiling, debugging and performance optimization
- Experience building production grade distributed or embedded systems
- Passion for improving developer productivity through automation and DevOps best practices
- Strong communication skills with a high sense of ownership and urgency
Nice to have
- Experience with hardware evaluation and compute platform selection
- Experience working on robotics, autonomous systems, or safety critical software
- Interest in leveraging modern AI assisted coding tools to improve engineering velocity
