Join Torc's System Integration & Enablement team to lead on-truck platform bring-up and integration for autonomous driving systems. You will be the go-to engineer when new compute platforms, sensors, or software releases need to work on real trucks, and you'll shape how the team approaches integration to scale beyond any one person.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead on-truck bring-up and integration of embedded compute platforms, sensors, networking, and vehicle interfaces from first power-on through validated, deployable configurations
- Own integration of platform, embedded, and autonomy software releases onto target hardware, defining acceptance criteria and making integration readiness decisions
- Drive root-cause investigations spanning hardware, firmware, OS, middleware, and application software, seeing them through to durable fixes
- Design and evolve Hardware-in-the-Loop, Software-in-the-Loop, and on-vehicle validation environments to faithfully represent production trucks and catch issues before field deployment
- Architect automation frameworks, diagnostic tooling, and integration processes that other engineers adopt; define system-level test strategies for new platform variants
- Represent integration in cross-functional design reviews, using lab and field evidence to influence hardware and software architecture decisions and surface systemic risks
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers; author bring-up procedures, troubleshooting guides, and reference documentation that become team standards
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or related field (Master's preferred)
- 5+ years of experience integrating hardware and software systems with demonstrated ownership of complex, multi-disciplinary integration efforts
- Hands-on experience bringing up embedded Linux compute platforms, including boot flow, kernel and driver configuration, BSP customization, and system-level debugging
- Strong Python and C++ (or comparable) skills with experience building tools and automation used by other engineers
- Experience designing or maintaining Hardware-in-the-Loop, Software-in-the-Loop, or equivalent validation environments; working with CI/CD and automated test frameworks
- Working knowledge of vehicle and robotics communication stacks (Ethernet, CAN, PTP, DDS, ROS 2) including deployment on embedded targets
- Proven ability to lead cross-domain root-cause investigations using logs, telemetry, bus captures, and lab instrumentation
- Strong written and verbal communication; experience mentoring or leading technical work without direct authority; comfort working in vehicles and lab environments with occasional travel to test sites
Bonus Experience:
- Integrating autonomous vehicle, ADAS, or robotics platforms in production or pre-production settings, especially trucking or heavy-duty vehicles
- Functional safety or safety-critical development practices (ISO 26262, SOTIF, or equivalent)
- Automotive Ethernet, SOME/IP, or time-sensitive networking
- NVIDIA DRIVE or similar SoC/GPU platforms, or Yocto, Buildroot, or custom Linux distributions
- Sensor integration and calibration, fleet telemetry, remote diagnostics, or over-the-air update systems
