Job summary

Waabi is building the future of self-driving trucking. The Onboard Sensors Team is expanding to integrate, field, ruggedize and productionize sensor systems for Waabi Driver, enabling safe navigation on roads and freeways.

You will join a cross-disciplinary group working with live vehicles daily to design, deploy and debug sensor platforms, and to mature the system through hands-on collaboration with operations and engineering teams.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of industry experience with fielded sensor systems (cameras, lidar, radar, GPS, IMU).
• Ability to develop readable, testable code.
• Expert level C/C++ or Rust in resource-constrained environments.
• Led engineering efforts to solve critical systems problems.
• Fielded and debugged Linux systems at the below-application level.
• Understanding of how time affects coordinated systems.
• Passionate about self-driving technologies.
• Some electronics experience with schematics and basic test equipment.

Responsibilities

• Help shape the Waabi sensors platform as we scale from.
• Solve challenging integration issues across sensor modalities (LIDAR, RADAR, cameras…).
• Deploy and debug software on real vehicles operating in the field daily.
• Integrate new types of sensors into existing and future onboard platforms.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams to design and build sensor solutions.
• Collaborate with operations to understand live system behavior and mature the system.

Job description

Robots need to see the world they live in to make informed decisions. The Onboard Sensors Team brings that sight to our robot trucks. We are currently growing our small group to support integrating, fielding, ruggedizing and productionizing our sensor systems to allow Waabi Driver to navigate roads and freeways - charting a new path forward in how freight is moved. We work with live vehicles everyday, learning how to best shape our sensor platform to fit our vision of the future. Come help us build the most reliable AV platform and have a great time doing it!

You will…

• Help shape the Waabi sensors platform as we scale from.

• Solve challenging integration issues across a number of sensor modalities (LIDAR, RADAR, cameras…).

• Deploy and debug software on real vehicles operating in the field daily.

• Integrate new types of sensors into existing and future onboard platforms.

• Work closely with multidisciplinary development teams to design and build innovative sensor solutions.

• Work closely with operations teams to understand live system behavior, resolve issues and form opinions on how we can mature our system going forward.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of industry experience working on fielded sensor systems (cameras, lidar, radar, GPS, IMU)Enjoy collaborating with large teams that span many disciplines from engineering to operations.

• Have a passion for developing efficient, readable and testable code.

• Expert level C\\C++ or Rust (we use Rust) in resource constrained environments.

• Have, independently, lead engineering effort to solve critical systems problems.

• Have fielded and debugged Linux systems below the application level.

• Firm grasp of how time plays a role in coordinated systems.

• Passionate about self-driving technologies.

• Some electronics experience - ability to read a schematic and use basic test equipment.
