Remote Senior Software Engineer, Perception Simulation Recompute

Summary

Join Torc and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology. Design, develop, integrate, test and validate perception simulation testing software using state-of-the-art recompute testing technology to support perception component development and testing of autonomy software for self-driving trucks.

Requirements

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics Engineering, Systems Engineering, or engineering equivalent
• 5 + years of software development experience
• 2+ years of software systems integration and testing experience
• Strong programming experience in C++ and using Python for data analysis
• Working knowledge of ROS2 for autonomous SW development and simulation
• Full life cycle software development including unit and software integration testing and configuration management
