Director, Autonomous Vehicles Platform

Job description

The era of AI is here — and it's transforming how machines learn, reason, and interact with the world. Today, AI-powered autonomous vehicles can navigate rural roads at night, understand dynamic environments, and make real-time driving decisions.

In this role, you will work closely with key OEM partners to lead end-to-end platform integration and adapt our technology to OEM solutions.

You will also lead the architecture and development of vehicle and sensor abstraction layers that bridge our autonomous driving software with the physical world — from low-level sensor inputs and actuator commands to scalable integration with real-world hardware.

As a key contributor to enabling real-time…

Job responsibilities

  • Collaborate with key OEM partners to lead full platform integration and adapt our technology to OEM solutions.
  • Lead the Vehicle Adaptation Layer (VAL) and Sensor Adaptation Layer (SAL) teams, designing and developing software abstractions and plug-in frameworks that interface with vehicle and sensor systems while delivering…
  • Build efficient, user-friendly mechanisms to improve software integration across a wide range of vehicles and sensor configurations.
  • Enhance existing frameworks and software components, validating improvements through extensive real-world and synthetic testing to enhance computational performance and system utilization.
  • Conduct in-vehicle tests, collect and analyze sensor and vehicle data, and support the completion of autonomous drive missions.
  • Develop unit tests and documentation for key features, evaluate software quality, and propose corrective actions in alignment with industry best practices.
  • Write highly efficient, production-quality C++ code, demonstrating parallel computing capabilities through GPGPU (CUDA) to accelerate processing workloads.
  • Follow industry safety and quality standards, including MISRA and other automotive-grade software development practices.
