What else you need to know This role is based in our San Francisco office location.
As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential.
That's why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.

You'll develop, test, and deploy features for our autonomous trucks, and you'll serve as a technical lead during deployments, owning bring-up, triage, and cross-team coordination in mission-critical environments.
Develop, integrate, and validate autonomy features (software + tests) for real-world autonomous vehicle operation.
Own system-level debugging: diagnose issues across sensors, compute, networking, controls, and software stacks using logs, metrics, and on-vehicle tools.
Lead technical execution for deployments: drive bring-up plans, communicate technical requirements, identify risks, and coordinate fixes with engineering and operations.
Support field deployments in mission-critical environments, including periodic travel to customer sites and hands-on on-vehicle debugging.
Collaborate across disciplines (hardware, operations, safety, product) to deliver robust, safe, and maintainable autonomy behavior.
While much of the industry remains in R&D, we deliver real, production-ready autonomy that is already operating in the field.
