We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the development and deployment of our next-generation Robotaxi platform.
Our team develops distributed applications that run on the vehicle's edge computer. As a Senior Engineer, you will architect and build the applications that establish a real-time Autonomous Vehicle-to-Cloud data pipeline, enabling critical services like fleet monitoring, remote vehicle control, and passenger safety systems.
Beyond the core driving technology, we also work on enhancing the passenger experience. This includes seamlessly integrating in-cabin displays, enabling direct communication with remote customer support, intelligently monitoring the cabin for safety and comfort, and precisely controlling the vehicle's interior.
What will you be doing:
- Architect & Build: Design and implement a robust, performance-critical data pipeline for cloud-vehicle interaction, ensuring low latency and high reliability over cellular networks.
- Technical Leadership: Lead the design and development of in-vehicle software components that enable monitoring, dispatch, and control from the cloud.
- System Ownership: Drive technical requirements by partnering directly with product manager, cloud engineers, and Operations teams, translating high-level goals into concrete system architectures.
- Mentorship: Mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and establish engineering best practices to maintain high code quality standards.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with test engineering and operations teams to define validation strategies and ensure successful field adoption of your solutions.
What we hope you'll come with:
- 5+ years of professional work experience as a software engineer, with deep expertise in modern C++ (11/14/17) on Linux platforms.
- A proven track record of designing and optimizing multi-threaded, asynchronous systems where performance and memory management are critical.
- Deep knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and OS primitives.
- Experience taking complex features from concept to production, including design, implementation, testing, and deployment.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, continuous delivery environment.
- Experience designing applications that interface with cloud-native services (AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT) for telemetry, remote command and control, and secure over-the-air updates.
Bonus Points for experience with:
- Experience with distributed systems middleware (e.g., DDS, gRPC) and IoT protocols (e.g., MQTT, Protobuf).
- Hands-on experience with ARM-based embedded systems and cross-compilation toolchains.
- Proficiency in Python or Golang for tooling and scripting.
- Experience leading technical projects in a globally distributed team.
Motional is a driverless technology company making autonomous vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality. We’re driven by something more.
Our journey is always people first.
We aren't just developing driverless cars; we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move.
Higher purpose, greater impact.
We’re creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads. We believe in building a great place to work through a progressive, global culture that is diverse, inclusive, and ensures people feel valued at every level of the organization. Diversity helps us to see the world differently; it’s not only good for our business, it’s the right thing to do.
Scale up, not starting up.
Our team is behind some of the industry's largest leaps forward, including the first fully-autonomous cross-country drive in the U.S, the launch of the world's first robotaxi pilot, and operation of the world's longest-standing public robotaxi fleet. We’re driven to scale; we’re moving towards commercialization of our technology, and we need team members who are ready to embrace change and challenges.
Formed as a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Group and Aptiv, Motional is fundamentally changing how people move through their lives.
