Senior Vehicle Infrastructure Engineer
Job description
W e 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. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
Job responsibilities
- Vehicle Infrastructure (VI) is the critical layer bridging our autonomy stack and the physical machines it powers.
- As a Senior Vehicle Infrastructure Engineer, you are the architect of reliability and scale, owning the OS, provisioning, and release paths that ensure our autonomous fleet operates predictably in the field.
- This position requires a multi-talented engineer who thrives where software intersects with the physical world. You won’t just maintain the status quo; you will architect our autonomous platform’s reliability.
Job requirements
- Substantial hands-on experience running Linux in production — typically 5+ years, weighted on depth and judgment rather than the number
- Strong Linux system administration: systemd, networking, storage, users and permissions, package management, kernel and driver management, and real debugging ability when a machine misbehaves
- DevOps and CI/CD experience where you built and owned pipelines rather than only consuming them
- Strong scripting in Bash and Python
- Willing and eager to work hands-on with real hardware — physical vehicles, raw sensor data, bare-metal debugging, cabling and connectors, CAN traffic
- Excellent communication and a genuine willingness to help others; front-line support is a core part of the job
- Strong leadership and organizational skills; proactive rather than reactive
- Experience working with and writing modern, maintainable C++ code.
