Latitude AI is developing automated driving technologies, including L3, for Ford vehicles at scale. The Virtual Test Ecosystem (VTE) team is responsible for implementing tooling for simulations and resimulations to enable large-scale testing before code is deployed on vehicles, thereby reducing iteration time and allowing for extensive safety testing.

Requirements

  • Expertise in modern C++ (C++17)
  • 3+ years’ experience with developing software for autonomous vehicles
  • 1+ years’ experience with developing software for some sort of simulation environment
  • Python development experience
  • AWS or similar cloud experience

Responsibilities

  • Add new features needed by autonomy teams and/or testing to the core C++ simulation / resimulation framework.
  • Work directly with autonomy and testing teams to understand their needs and pain points, then internally propose features we can add to improve our infrastructure and/or simulation realism
  • Support troubleshooting with users and bug fixes when issues are identified
  • Analyze simulation/resimulation reproducibility (does running the same code multiple times result in the exact same behavior?) and develop tooling to root-cause whether nondeterminism is coming from autonomy tasks or from the simulation/resimulation code
  • Learn the autonomy stack at a level of depth that allows you to reason about what the best way is to wire in new autonomy features as they’re developed
  • be able to do some initial root-causing of crashes or issues to isolate what’s going wrong
  • be an effective bridge between our team and the autonomy teams

Other

  • Self-driven to write code that’s efficient, well-tested, well-documented, and conforms to our style guide
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field and 4+ years of relevant experience (or Master's degree and 2+ years of relevant experience, or PhD)
  • Strong communication skills and desire to partner with internal and external team members in order to create solutions that robustly solve the problem and allow us to evaluate the safety and performance of new features
  • Candidates for positions with Latitude AI must be legally authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis.
  • Visa sponsorship is available for this position.
