Software Engineer, Onboard Integration

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Design, build, and test mission-critical onboard software that runs on every Glydways vehicle, from prototype to deployment on track.
• Own high-performance interfaces to onboard devices—from cameras, radar, LiDAR, and IMUs to drive-by-wire, controls, and other vehicle systems.
• Develop and integrate runtimes and middleware so autonomy and ML workloads can execute and communicate reliably onboard.
• Design and improve systems for live track operations : software deployment, vehicle provisioning, logging, and observability.
• Collaborate with Autonomy, Hardware, and Operations teams to define interfaces, build evaluation pipelines on real and simulated vehicles, and ship features to the fleet.
• Investigate and debug issues on the bench and on-vehicle , driving them to root cause and stable fixes.
• Shape technical direction for the areas you own, and raise the bar through design discussions and code reviews.

Job requirements

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, including shipping and supporting production systems.
• Strong proficiency in C++ or C for production systems—comfortable navigating and improving an existing codebase as well as writing new components.
• Experience developing device drivers or low-level interfaces for sensors and/or actuators, including use of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or similar test frameworks.
• Experience developing on resource-constrained embedded hardware (CPU, memory, storage, or bandwidth limited).
• Solid understanding of communication protocols, from low-level (SPI, UART, CAN) to higher-level networking (TCP/UDP).
• Experience with Linux, especially embedded environments (e.g., Yocto, Buildroot, or similar).
• Experience with robotics middleware such as ARK, LCM, ROS, or ROS 2.
• Ability to own features end-to-end: clarifying requirements, designing, implementing, testing, and supporting them in the field.
