Software Engineer 2, Autonomy - Blacksburg, United States - TORC Robotics
Description
About The Company
At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business.
Now a part of the Daimler family , we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.
Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.
Meet the team:
Maps are one of the basic blocks in building an Autonomous Driving Stack.
But Maps are a snapshot of what the world looked like when they were made, hence cannot be trusted 100% when building a L4+ (driver out) system.
This team fills in this gap, writing algorithms to consume all relevant real-time data sources, for example perceived lane lines and map data, to provide the downstream software, trustable static world representation.
What you'll do:
We are seeking an Autonomy Software Engineer to develop software that enables autonomous driving in places where maps could be out of date.
Execute full software development lifecycle activities using C++, including prototyping and deploying robust and reliable solutions for Static Scene Modeling problems.
Test developed algorithms in both simulation and on our trucks
Research the state-of-the-art information fusion algorithms and apply excellent algorithm design and programming skills to improve our static world modeling software
Integration of software standards and safety requirements into the software
Collaborate with a creative team of engineers and researchers in order to solve multi-disciplinary problems
Improve how our vehicles act and react in complex and nuanced situations
What you'll need to Succeed:
Either a Master degree or a Bachelors of Science with 3+ years of relevant work experience in robotics, aerospace, automotive systems engineering or related technical field
Experience writing production code using modern C++ on Linux
Understanding of probability, statistics, probabilistic modeling, and linear algebra
Ability to implement algorithms efficiently and in a well-organized software architecture
Strong communication skills in technical approaches, Fluency in English would be desired
Proactive, team spirit and open communication
Willingness to travel
Bonus Points:
Proficient with ROS (Robot Operating System)
Knowledge about Factor Graphs
Understanding of 3D Geometry and Transforms
Knowledge of safety engineering, functional safety and requirements engineering according to ISO26262
Experience with Python
Experience with Machine Learning and Deep Learning
