Senior Autonomy Software Integration Engineer

About the Company   At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business. A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners.  Now a part of the Daimler family , we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.   Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.   Meet the Team:   The Integration & Delivery team sits at the center of Torc's autonomy software ecosystem, bringing together capabilities developed across Perception, Behaviors, and Platform teams into a cohesive product:  TorcDrive . We  are responsible for  ensuring autonomy applications run reliably on embedded vehicle hardware, enabling product features to move from development to deployment safely, efficiently, and at scale.   Our mission is to accelerate software delivery by creating scalable integration architectures, improving development workflows, and enabling rapid iteration across the autonomy stack. We partner closely with engineering teams across the organization to transform  cutting-edge  autonomy technology into production-ready software that powers the future of freight.   What You'll Do   Lead integration, deployment, and software readiness activities for autonomy applications running on Torc's embedded compute platform.   Design, develop, and  maintain  software infrastructure that enables seamless integration of  perception , behavior, localization, mission management, and platform capabilities into  TorcDrive .   Drive root cause analysis and resolution of complex system-level issues spanning software, hardware, networking, embedded  compute , and platform services.   Identify opportunities to improve software integration and delivery workflows, partnering with Developer Enablement teams to drive automation, tooling, and process improvements.   Partner with Perception, Behaviors, Platform, Product, and Developer Enablement teams to integrate new capabilities into vehicle-ready releases.   Support software bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting across simulation, testing, and vehicle environments.   Identify   integration  bottlenecks, architectural limitations, and operational inefficiencies, proposing scalable solutions that improve reliability, maintainability, and engineering productivity.   Contribute to release readiness activities, ensuring software quality, performance, and operational stability prior to deployment.   Develop internal tools, dashboards, and workflows that improve visibility into software health, testing, release status, and system performance.   Act as a force multiplier across the organization by bridging autonomy domain teams, platform teams, and infrastructure teams to accelerate integration and delivery of product capabilities.   Drive technical alignment across stakeholders,  helping  teams navigate ambiguity, resolve cross-functional challenges, and make informed engineering tradeoff decisions.   Mentor engineers and help  establish  best practices across software integration, validation, release engineering, and delivery processes.   What You'll Need to Succeed   Bachelor's degree in Computer Science , Software Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field with 6+ years of experience, or a Master's degree with 4+ years of experience.   Strong software development experience in C++ within Linux-based environments.   Experience developing and debugging distributed software systems, robotics applications, autonomous vehicle platforms, or other complex embedded systems.   Hands-on experience with ROS/ROS2 and modern software development tools such as Bazel, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, or similar technologies.   Working knowledge of  perception , planning, localization, mission management, or other autonomy stack components and how they interact within a distributed autonomy system.   Experience with software integration practices including CI/CD, automated testing, build systems, and release workflows.   Proficiency  with Python scripting and automation.   Strong understanding of software architecture, system integration, and troubleshooting across complex technical environments.   Experience working with containerized environments and modern software development tools.   Demonstrated ability to independently drive technical investigations,  identify  root causes, and deliver practical solutions in ambiguous environments.   Demonstrated ability to independently drive complex technical initiatives while coordinating across multiple engineering teams, stakeholders, and dependent organizations.   Proven ability to influence without authority and drive alignment across cross-functional teams in ambiguous environments.   A systems-thinking mindset with a passion for understanding how complex software components interact to deliver customer-facing functionality.   Bonus Points   Experience supporting software deployment on embedded or high-performance  compute  platforms.   Experience with Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), simulation, or vehicle validation activities.   Experience building developer productivity tools,  monitoring  solutions, or software quality frameworks.   Experience supporting large-scale software releases and operational deployments.   Experience serving as a technical lead, integration lead, or systems engineer responsible for coordinating delivery across multiple engineering teams.   Perks of Being a Full-time Torc’r   Torc cares about our team members and we strive to provide benefits and resources to support their health, work/life balance
