Software Engineer - System Performance Engineer

About the Team

Our team is at the forefront of enabling cutting-edge autonomous vehicle technology by developing the foundational framework for executing autopilot code, with a focus on performance and reliability. We are also responsible for onboard performance and the continuous improvement of latencies within the system. We design our core framework and APIs in ways that ensure predictable latencies and robustness across all autopilot code. To ensure a rapid development pace, we are building extensive performance validation and testing infrastructure and using it to detect issues early and guide new optimizations.

About the Role

We are looking for an software engineer who is passionate about understanding the systems throughout and finding ways to optimize it. You will investigate how the system performs in different condition and build necessary metrics and tooling to track the performance across the entire fleet. You will build performance testing infrastructure and automate performance reports to detect changes a s early as possible. You will collaborate with core framework users ( technology developers ) to understand their needs and enhance our framework to make writing high-performance code easier. The solutions you develop will stabilize overall system performance and enable rapid technology evolution while maintaining required latency targets .

What You'll Do

• Own the performance tooling, metrics collection and performance testing infrastructure.
• Work with development teams across the project to guide efficient code implementation and understand their requirements for core framework.
• Improve core framework APIs and optimize it’s performance.
• Constantly find ways to further automate performance testing, performance reports and anomalies detection.
• Perform benchmarks for new hardware / software versions.
