TL;DR · ADAS Architect

The ADAS Architect joins the Technology, Digital and Data team to design, build, test, and release software for robotic, automated, and safety-critical machines. This role involves developing software that enables massive equipment to see, think, and operate safely alongside people. Key responsibilities include building and tuning build, integration, and release pipelines, developing operator safety systems, and solving puzzles where new software meets existing infrastructure. The candidate will work hands-on in applied AI areas such as perception, autonomy, or anomaly detection. Required skills include software product design and architecture for embedded, real-time, database, operating system, and web environments. The role specifically addresses the technical challenges of on-road and off-road software engineering, core robotics planning, and ADAS product development within heavy machinery or automotive industries using NVDIA hardware.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, test, and release software for robotic, automated, and safety-critical machines.
  • Conduct test reviews and analysis to ensure software meets certification requirements.
  • Build and tune build, integration, and release pipelines for consistent software deployment.
  • Develop and maintain operator and machine safety systems for job site protection.
  • Implement and maintain AI systems for perception, autonomy, and anomaly detection.
  • Architect major products and lead design reviews to evaluate technical tradeoffs.
  • Solve complex technical puzzles involving new software integration with existing infrastructure.
  • Mentor teammates and perform code reviews to improve the team's technical skills.

What we're looking for

  • Degree required in an accredited Engineering, Computer Science, or Materials Science curriculum.
  • Design, build, test, and release software for robotic, automated, and safety-critical machines.
  • Build and tune build, integration, and release pipelines for software deployment.
  • Architect and design major products for embedded, real-time, database, operating system, and web environments.
  • Work hands-on in applied AI areas such as perception, autonomy, or anomaly detection.
  • Mentor teammates and advise others on evaluating and delivering technical solutions.
  • 10+ years’ experience supporting platform level development projects and interfacing with internal development groups (preferred).
  • Experience with NVDIA hardware (preferred).
