Job description

Who are we?

Oxa is enabling the transition to self-driving vehicles through an initial focus on the most commercially advanced sector; the autonomous shuttling of goods and people.

We are home to some of the world’s leading experts on autonomous vehicles, creating solutions such as Oxa Driver, equipping vehicles with full self-driving functionality; Oxa MetaDriver, using Generative AI to accelerate and assure the safety of deployments; and Oxa Hub, a set of cloud-based offerings for autonomous fleet management.

Our technology is being deployed across the UK and the U.S, and we’re partnering with a fast-growing ecosystem of operators, vehicle OEMs and equipment makers serving autonomous transportation globally as it advances.

Your Team:
As a C++ Software Engineer you will join our Shield Control Team. Shield Control are one of the teams developing Safeguard, which acts as the final layer of defence for:

Collision avoidance
Handling component failures

In an ideal world, such a layer wouldn't need to exist. However, in the real world, we have to be able to handle anything. For example:

an object falling out of the back of a moving vehicle ahead
a tyre bursting due to poor maintenance
a person running out from behind a parked car.

Requirements

What you need to succeed:
Working C++ knowledge
The ability to...
debug software faults
design and implement solutions to complex problems
work both independently and across teams
support your colleagues when they need help
give and receive constructive code reviews
A willingness to try new things
A value-add of some kind (see examples below)......
Knowledge practice of safety standards (e.g. ISO 26262, MISRA C++:2023, ASPICE)
Robotics domain knowledge (e.g. ROS)
Expertise in modern C++ template meta-programming
Skilled at control systems design
Adept at creating software for resource constrained environments
