Description

  • Define the architecture for the L4 trucking fallback stack, including interfaces to perception, behavior, planning, control, and the primary autonomy stack.
  • Design strategies for degraded driving, minimal risk maneuvers, and transitions to remote assistance.
  • Specify and review algorithms that detect autonomy degradation and trigger fallback behaviors or remote intervention.
  • Collaborate with behavior, planning, and perception engineers to align safety logic, trajectories, fallback requirements, and ODD constraints.
  • Architect and refine interfaces between the vehicle stack and the remote assistance platform for tele-guidance and safe maneuver completion.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship while helping build the fallback stack team.
  • Influence decisions across trucking and future SDS programs.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 6+ years of experience building autonomy software for L4 autonomous driving systems.
  • Strong programming skills in C++.
  • Experience designing or implementing fallback or degraded driving behaviors in an autonomous driving stack.
  • Hands-on experience integrating multiple autonomy subsystems into a cohesive system architecture.
  • Experience on L4 trucking or robotaxi programs, especially in degraded driving, fallback behavior, or safety-critical autonomy (preferred).
  • Experience with remote operations, tele-guidance, or remote assistance systems for autonomous vehicles or robots (preferred).
  • Depth in perception, behavior/decision-making, or motion planning for edge cases, fallback scenarios, or human-intervention handoffs (preferred).
  • Familiarity with automotive safety and autonomy standards such as ISO 26262, ISO 21448, or UL 4600, or similar frameworks (preferred).
  • Experience defining and validating metrics and scenarios for autonomy performance and safety near operational limits (preferred).
  • Prior experience helping build a new autonomy capability or team from scratch (preferred).

Benefits

  • Base salary range of $145,000 - $245,000 USD annually.
  • Equity compensation in the form of options and/or restricted stock units.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance coverage.
  • 401(k) retirement benefits with employer match.
  • Learning stipends.
  • Wellness stipends.
