Job description

Who we are

Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle-mile logistics, is revolutionizing the B2B supply chain with its autonomous transportation-as-a-service (ATaaS) solution and prioritizing safe, consistent deliveries while streamlining freight movement by reducing congestion. The company focuses on short-haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 retailers and in 2021 launched the world’s first fully driverless commercial transportation service with Walmart. Gatik's Class 3-7 autonomous trucks are commercially deployed across major markets, including Texas, Arkansas, and Ontario, Canada, driving innovation in freight transportation.

The company's proprietary Level 4 autonomous technology, Gatik Carrier, is custom-built to transport freight safely and efficiently between pick-up and drop-off locations on the middle mile. With robust capabilities in both highway and urban environments, Gatik Carrier serves as an all-encompassing solution that integrates advanced software and hardware powering the fleet, facilitating effortless integration into customers' logistics operations.

About the role

We are seeking a talented software engineering expert for our embedded systems development in the Drive-by-wire field. Your position will involve the development of embedded ECU software for safety-critical applications such as steering control, brake control or throttle actuation. The development shall involve the model-based development of embedded software as well as preceding phases involving prototyping components. You will use your experience in the automotive series software development to build Gatik’s own Drive-by-wire system involving the software development itself, requirements drafting as well as integration of the software in various verification and validation steps.

This role is onsite 5 days a week at our Mountain View, CA office.

What you'll do

• Build and improve vehicle chassis controls software for integration on common ECU hardware for vehicle controls.
• Create functionally safe software by following common automotive standards for functional safety.
• Design and propose toolchains for seamless integration of model-based application software on ECU firmware.
• Collaborate with requirements engineers to align the maturity of software and requirements for successful validation.
• Create and track software release plans as well as testing activities to achieve continuous integration of software products in vehicle and field testing.

What we're looking for

• Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering or similar with focus on embedded systems and/or automotive electronics.
• 8+ years of experience in software development for embedded automotive systems, ideally in the field of ADAS/AD or vehicle chassis controls.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and implement full time critical systems.
• Experience with standards and practices such as ISO26262, MISRA-C and AUTOSAR.
• Experience in creating automated software generation toolchains.
• Experience with xIL testing for automotive embedded systems. Experience with CAN, LIN analysis, and debugging tools (PCAN, CANalyzer, CANape, etc.).
• Familiarity with rapid prototyping hardware such as dSpace Autobox and accompanying software such as ControlDesk.

More about Gatik

Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.

We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy. By choosing the middle mile – with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik’s well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.
