Onboard AV Software Engineer

We're looking for a software engineer to optimize and deploy ML models on our trucks' onboard compute, and to own performance across the full autonomous driving stack. You'll take models from our ML team and make them run fast, efficiently, and reliably on embedded GPUs—using TensorRT, custom CUDA kernels, and low-level systems engineering. Beyond inference, you'll profile and optimize the entire onboard software pipeline to meet hard real-time deadlines. This is a rare chance to bridge ML and embedded systems for production autonomous freight, with the freedom and responsibility that comes with a small team tackling a massive problem.

• Optimize and deploy neural network models for onboard inference using TensorRT and custom CUDA kernels
• Profile and reduce end-to-end latency across the autonomous driving stack—from sensor ingestion to control
• Build and maintain the onboard C++ and Rust software infrastructure, including real-time data pipelines, inter-process communication, and hardware abstraction layers
• Implement model quantization, pruning, and other optimization techniques to maximize throughput on embedded GPU platforms
• Collaborate with ML engineers to ensure models are designed for efficient deployment, and with vehicle systems engineers to meet real-time safety constraints

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field—or equivalent industry experience
• Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Rust for performance-critical systems
• Hands-on experience with GPU-accelerated computing—CUDA, TensorRT, or similar inference optimization toolchains
• Familiarity with ML model architectures (transformers, CNNs) and the ability to reason about computational cost and memory footprint
• Eligible to work in the United States

This role is eligible for base salary \+ benefits \+ equity compensation. Salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including qualifications, skills, experience, and location.
