What are the responsibilities and job description for the Staff Software Engineer, Onboard Infrastructure position at Stack AV?
About the Role:
Be part of a team of engineers who develop robust, scalable onboard infrastructure for our self-driving vehicle systems. This will include developing the core middleware that will accommodate multiple deep learning models and will be deployed on board, as well as in the cloud, for simulation, testing, and verification.
Responsibilities:
- Own delivery of various components of our onboard infrastructure and tooling, in partnership with teams in Autonomy, Cloud Simulation, and Safety to meet our product needs.
- Deliver the SW interfaces and test suites to integrate hardware peripherals into next-generation vehicle architecture.
- Principled use of automated tests and code quality tooling to build a regression-resilient system.
- Identify bottlenecks and limitations in system performance, and develop novel approaches to unlock new capabilities and ensure a reliable system.
- Strike a balance between performance, user experience, and maintainability for core components that are used across our product development organization.
- Constantly evaluate tradeoffs that need to be made in a resource-constrained environment, and work closely with hardware and firmware engineers to drive initiatives that enable our robotics middleware to maximize system capabilities.
- Participate in the design of our middleware APIs, to ensure that they are intuitive to use correctly, are performant, and ultimately stand the test of time.
Qualifications:
- Experience building performance critical applications deployed in resource constrained environments, for use in real world applications with a strong understanding of the pros and cons of various approaches.
- Strong experience with C/C .
- Strong understanding of the POSIX programming environment.
- Familiarity with software engineering and algorithm design and architecture patterns.
- Familiarity with concurrent and parallel programming.
- Familiarity with common tooling and libraries such as bazel, boost, abseil etc is a plus.
- Familiarity with Python.
- Experience with writing high performance code in Linux is a plus.
- Excellent communication and teamwork.
