Job description

About the Team

DoorDash Labs is an independent team within DoorDash. We explore robotics and automation to transform last mile logistics in the long term. If you have a passion for applying robotics solutions in a service used by millions of people, then we want to talk to you!

About the Role

We are hiring a Software Integration Engineer for our Platform Integration team. This is a critical role with impact across the robot lifecycle, from manufacturing to daily operation. The Platform Integration team owns making sure the robot works as one cohesive system. The focus is on the interfaces between subsystems; this role in particular is focused on the software side handling interaction between: OS & software stack; firmware; networking; timing; and calibration.
In this role, you will work cross functionally with our electrical, hardware, firmware, and autonomy engineers to support new functionality both in both hardware and software.
This includes creating provisioning tools, functional tests, and supporting integration into the autonomy software stack. You will report to the Autonomy Platform Lead on our Autonomy Platform Team at DoorDash Labs. We expect this role to be hybrid with some time in-office and some time remote.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Play an integral role on a small and focused team.
• Lead system-level debug when an issue crosses subsystem boundaries or no single team can isolate it.
• Support early integration of new sensor and software component designs by identifying interface requirements, risks, dependencies and required checks.
• Design and maintain integration tests, test setups, and procedures to ensure subsystems, once combined, satisfy requirements and design intent.
• Build and maintain the mission-readiness checks used before manufacturing signoff, validation, field testing, or mission use for different robot platforms.
• Create the tools, checks, and debug guidance that Manufacturing Integration, Validation, Field Service, and Fleet Operations need to use consistently and independently.

We’re excited about you because…

• BS/MS degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in software for robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other complex mechatronics systems. ROS/ROS2 or other robotics middleware experience is a plus.
• Python and C++ experience, writing building reliable and performant code.
• Experience with grokking source code and working with a large codebase.
• Solid understanding of OS concepts, software performance, networking
• Comfortable using source control and build automation tools like Git, Jenkins, Buildkite, etc.
• Bonus: You have experience collaborating in multi-disciplinary teams spanning software, controls, and hardware, and can communicate technical details across domains effectively.
