Vehicle Platforms Team The Vehicle Platforms team is responsible for bringing up Aurora’s self-driving vehicle platforms and integrating their core hardware components such as compute, base vehicle, embedded devices and sensors into the onboard software, creation of tools to support fleet operations and monitor hardware health, performance optimization, onboard networking architecture and monitoring.
In this role, you will:
Perform bring up of new vehicle platforms
Define vehicle compute and network architecture
Integrate new sensors and embedded devices and build interfaces for autonomy software
Address vehicle‑specific concerns for vehicle runtime, e.g. vehicle stack configuration, networking stack configuration, performance, hardware health monitoring, and networking monitoring and security
Evolve the fleet from a collection of individual vehicles into a full service platform with integrated metrics and monitoring
Optimize performance on Network, CPU and GPU and other limited onboard hardware resources
Help define precision time protocol architecture across the network
Work with autonomy engineers to meet security, integrity and latency requirements for sensor data
Utilize HIL (hardware‑in‑the‑loop) test infrastructure to automatically verify onboard code changes and profile performance
Provide engineering support for field testing and fleet operations
Required Qualifications:
BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent industry experience
Strong programming skills in C++
Experience working with networking protocols, such as TCP, UDP, CAN bus protocols, RTP, gRPC, TFTP, HTTP, 802.1Q/VLANs
Linux networking and troubleshooting
A passion for writing robust, intuitive, high‑performance code, and being pragmatic about it
A passion to work at the hardware/software interface
Ability to navigate and work effectively in large codebases
Good communication skills and the ability to work efficiently with cross‑functional and geographically dispersed teams
Desirable Qualifications:
Experience with Linux Kernel Networking, BGP routing protocol
Experience working with various sensors, e.g. lidars, radars, cameras, audio, etc.
Experience with system performance evaluation and optimization.
Experience with IP tables or Nftables
Experience with Base‑T1 automotive ethernet
Automotive networking and protocols; SOME/IP, UDS, CANbus
Experience with Network Monitoring and SNMP, gNMI or any monitoring protocol
Hardware health monitoring frameworks
Designing and understanding complex software systems and interplay between system components
Time sensitive networking protocols, e.g. PTP, gPTP, etc.
Experience with safety critical systems
Good understanding of ethernet switching and interaction between OSI layers 1, 2, 3 and 4
