C++ Software Engineer

Summary

Join Stack's Remote Assist team and accelerate the delivery of our self-driving system, increasing on-time freight arrival and improving autonomous truck behavior. We develop tools for human operators to remotely assist the self-driving system in complex situations. The team is full-stack, encompassing user interfaces, cloud infrastructure, live video streaming, autonomy capabilities, and system integrations. You will own the onboard Remote Assist system, integrating with other subsystems. You'll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, contributing to various aspects of the onboard system and supporting cloud and front-end development. Regular travel to Pittsburgh is required for work with test vehicles and the operations center.

Requirements

• BS or MS in Computer Science or closely related field
• 7+ years of experience as a software engineer
• Strong C++ programming skill and experience working with large production-grade codebases
• Experience leading the delivery of critical software systems
• Experience in AV, Robotics, or closely related fields
• Experience with simulation testing and automated testing
• Strong and proven teamwork and collaboration skills

Responsibilities

• Own the onboard Remote Assist system including the core RA subsystem and integrations with other subsystems such as mapping, planning, perception, etc
• You are a member of an uncommonly broad end-to-end team that includes front end, cloud, and robotics engineers working together on a single product
• You are excited to work across our entire codebase and it is a positive for you that you will have the opportunity to contribute to many aspects of the onboard system including areas our team does not own - working on motion planning, mapping, perception, and more
• You are excited to work beyond onboard C++ code and it’s a positive that you will be on a multidisciplinary team where you will support cloud and front end development with code reviews and design discussions
• Your areas of ownership include complex testing, simulation, and operator training capabilities, onboard to offboard data streaming and auditability of the remote assist system
• Partner closely with the Director of Remote Assistance and you collaborate closely with both motion planning and cloud platform software engineers
• Take part in on-call rotations
• Travel to our headquarters in Pittsburgh regularly to spend time in our test vehicles, with our operations center, and on our test track

Preferred Qualifications

• Remote Assistance, Motion Planning, Mapping or related experience
• Experience with WebSockets, gRPC and Protobufs
• Experience with video streaming, WebRTC, or similar real time data streaming systems
• Experience with Python or Go
• Experience with validating safety-critical systems
