Full-time

Re-posted 9 days ago

Job description

The Embedded Software team owns our low-level software integration platform, coordinating communications amongst modules, low level control algorithms and safety assurance processes. Most of the work the Embedded team does requires access to the actual hardware, whether it be boards or vehicles. The intent of this position is to build best in class capabilities around embedded software development.
 
You will...
- Implement low-level, safety critical embedded software for truck control functions such as engine control, steering and braking.
- Integrate sensors and vehicle actuation feedback with our localization and control systems in order to implement redundant safety features.
- Collaborate with our hardware, safety and systems teams on design, build and validation of highly reliable next generation systems.
- Develop software according to industry-best practices for safe, reliable and robust code.
- Support the bring up and operation of the autonomous platform, both remotely and on-site.
- Work with our other software and autonomy engineers on implementing the low-level functions necessary to drive success in the autonomous vehicle field.
 
Qualifications:
- An experienced (5+ years) developer who codes embedded software on low level ARM microcontrollers and processors (sometimes with an RTOS) with one hand while wielding an oscilloscope probe with the other.
- A developer who cares about building beautiful (but pragmatic) reusable embedded code and the systems to test and maintain that code.
- A technical leader who enjoys mentoring junior developers and engineers and collaborating across teamsSomeone who has deep experience with any of  C/C++/Rust (we primarily use Rust).
- Experienced working on safety-critical, hi-reliability software projects following relevant industry safety standards.
 
Requirements: This position is an onsite/hybrid position that will require onsite 3-5 days per week. This position will be hands-on partnering closely with our Compute, Hardware, and Sensor teams.
The US yearly salary range for this role is: $148,000 - $249,000 USD in addition to competitive perks & benefits. Waabi (US) Inc.'s yearly salary ranges are determined based on several factors in accordance with the Company's compensation practices.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
