FULL-TIME

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

the company is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, the company has focused on building the the company Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The the company Driver powers the company’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The the company Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

the company's Compute Team is tasked with a critical and exciting mission: We deliver the compute platform responsible for running the autonomous vehicle's software stack. To achieve our mission, we architect and create high-performance custom silicon; we develop system-level compute architectures that push the boundaries of performance, power, and latency; and we collaborate with many other teammates to ensure we design and improve hardware and software for maximum performance. We are a diverse team looking for curious and talented teammates to work on one of the world's highest performance automotive compute platforms.

*This role follows a hybrid work schedule* *and you will report to a Software Engineering Manager.*

*This position will require the ability to work some hours that align with the team in the Pacific Time zone on an as needed basis.*

You will

• Design and develop scalable software frameworks for automated post-silicon validation.
• Translate hardware databook instructions (register maps, timing diagrams) into robust C++ code for hardware/software interaction.
• Build and maintain sophisticated automation scripts using Python and Bash to manage complex test sequences.
• Debug software-to-hardware communication issues, working closely with hardware designers to ensure register-level accuracy.
• Improve the efficiency of existing validation software to reduce test cycle times.

You have

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering
• Strong Proficiency in C++: Experience with pointers, memory management, and low-level system programming is mandatory.
• Advanced Scripting: Expert-level Python skills, specifically for automation and data analysis.
• Software Engineering Fundamentals: Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design.
• Experience with Bash/Unix environments for toolchain management.
• Willingness to Learn Hardware: While a background in silicon is helpful, the primary requirement is the ability to apply rigorous software engineering principles to hardware validation.

We prefer

• Knowledge of hardware IP blocks (e.g., PCIe, DDR, USB).
• Experience with JTAG, I2C, or SPI protocols.
• Previous experience in post-silicon validation or embedded systems.

The expected base salary range for this full-time position is listed below.
