• Develop and maintain processing pipelines supporting algorithm deployment across embedded and cloud environments.
• Ensure deterministic and functionally equivalent behavior across all deployment targets.
• Collaborate with UI, platform, and cloud teams to define APIs and integration interfaces.
• Optimize CPU, memory, and latency characteristics for real-time execution.
• Define robust test strategies (unit, component, integration, behavioral) and integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute to verification and validation activities for safety-relevant engine functionality.
• Produce high-quality technical documentation following engineering policies and quality requirements.
• Debug and resolve complex software issues while promoting engineering best practices within the team.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 6-8+ years of systems-level or embedded, real-time, or performance-critical software development experience.
• Advanced proficiency in Rust (ownership, lifetimes, concurrency, memory safety).
• Experience developing high-performance embedded or real-time applications.
• Experience designing modular, reusable software components.
• Experience with automated testing frameworks such as Pytest and Pytest-BDD.
• Working knowledge of GitHub and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong analytical, debugging, communication, and collaboration skills.

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.
Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities.
Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.
Indicate if this role is an office/field/onsite role.
