Senior Software Engineer, Vehicle Systems Integration

Teleo; Iowa; On-site; USD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Teleo is hiring a software engineer to own the integration of autonomy and vehicle subsystems into a cohesive platform. You will bridge perception, controls, networking, and hardware interfaces to run on real hardware, while developing features across the full vehicle software stack.

The role requires hands-on embedded Linux experience, strong C/C++ and Python skills, and the ability to coordinate across firmware, perception, and controls teams.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Linux systems programming: sockets, serial, device interfaces, systemd, debugging tools
• Debugging at the system level: logs, traces, packet captures, core dumps
• Hands-on embedded Linux experience at the application level
• Demonstrated ability to work across multiple subsystems and codebases
• CAN bus protocols and serial communication
• Working in cross-functional environments alongside firmware, perception, and controls teams
• Strong computer systems fundamentals: OS internals, memory management, process lifecycle, IPC
• 4+ years of professional software engineering in C/C++ and Python
• Comfortable reading schematics and understanding hardware interfaces at a conceptual level
• Building and integrating multi-process systems with complex inter-component dependencies
• Early-stage startup experience — comfortable with broad scope and fast iteration
• Experience bootstrapping test infrastructure: CI integration testing, hardware-in-the-loop setups
• Rust Networking fundamentals: VLANs, Layer 2/3 debugging, packet analysis
• ROS experience

Responsibilities

• Own the integration of Teleo’s autonomy and vehicle subsystems into a reliable, cohesive platform.
• Bridge the gap between independently developed components — perception, controls, networking, hardware interfaces — and make them work together on real hardware
• Develop features across the full vehicle software stack: sensor interfaces, communication layers, diagnostics, and system services
• Integrate and validate subsystems from multiple teams into a unified, working platform
• Build and maintain backend infrastructure and tooling that support vehicle operations
• Design and implement inter-process and inter-system communication for vehicle and operator systems
• Contribute to OTA update pipelines and deployment workflows in collaboration with the full-stack team
• Write unit tests and help establish integration testing practices across the codebase
• Participate in remote support rotations, including occasional early/late hours
