Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Controls
Mountain View, CA Overview
We are seeking passionate Software Engineers with strong fundamentals in software development practices, expert level in C/C++ and Matlab/Simulink in production-oriented environments. The ideal candidate has a solid background in Control and Optimization and is a highly experienced software developer focused on enabling the world’s first safe, reliable and efficient network of autonomous vehicles. You will partner with the research and software engineers to design, develop, test, and validate our autonomous fleet\'s AV control and optimization features. This role is onsite 5 days a week at our Mountain View, CA office. Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle-mile logistics, is revolutionizing B2B supply chain with its autonomous transportation-as-a-service (ATaaS) solution and prioritizes safe, consistent deliveries while streamlining freight movement by reducing congestion.

What you'll do
Design, implement, integrate, and support real-time mission-critical software for Gatik’s autonomy stack. Collaborate with research engineers to develop maintainable, testable, and robust software designs. Work with the Control team to develop, design, and implement control and optimization methods in simulation and through in-vehicle testing. Support rapid prototyping of new methodologies via SiL and HiL. Participate in tuning, calibration, and in-vehicle testing. Participate in visualization and post-processing of test data. Collaborate with planning, localization, dbw, and testing teams for efficient, secure, and scalable software integration. What we're looking for
MSc or PhD in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or Computer Science with a background in controls and optimization. Deep understanding of optimal control, MPC, and Kalman filtering. 5+ years of production-level experience in C++/C (high and low level coding) and Matlab/Simulink. Experience using optimization techniques and tools/solvers to create robust and performant controllers. Strong math and linear algebra background, and vehicle dynamics modeling and controls. 2+ years of experience in the AV/ADAS industries. Experience using source control, containerization, bash scripting, ROS2, CAN, Python, and Linux. Bonus Qualifications
Familiar with dSPACE and vehicle dynamic modeling toolchains. Familiar with SiL/HiL setup and automotive-grade simulation tools such as TruckSim and IPG TruckMaker. Familiar with CI/CD and pipeline management. Salary
Salary Range - $180,000 - $250,000 More about Gatik
Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence in Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique position in the AV industry with a trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability. We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology—an integration of software and hardware—to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy. By focusing on the middle mile, with defined point-to-point delivery, we simplify complex AV challenges and hyper-optimize models with less data, ensuring continued safety of unmanned operations. At Gatik, we value collaboration, respect, agility, and a commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone has opportunities to succeed and grow.
