<p><span style="font-weight: 300; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Latitude AI (</span><a href="https://lat.ai/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">lat.ai</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">) develops automated driving technologies, including L3, for Ford vehicles at scale. We’re driven by the opportunity to reimagine what it’s like to drive and make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: 300;">When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering – </span><strong><em>all dedicated to making a real, positive impact on the driving experience for millions of people.&nbsp;</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As a Ford Motor Company subsidiary, we operate independently to develop automated driving technology at the speed of a technology startup. Latitude is headquartered in Pittsburgh with engineering centers in Dearborn, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Meet the team:</strong></span></p> <p>Latitude’s Autonomy Systems Engineering Team spearheads the end-to-end development of autonomous vehicle systems. The team defines the ODD, establishes vehicle and sub-system requirements, and leads sensor selection analysis. By partnering with software development and Functional Safety teams, they architect robust systems that prioritize safety and performance. Additionally, they decompose complex autonomy functions for verification and implement large-scale metrics to ensure rigorous requirement compliance.</p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>What you’ll do:&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p>For the next generation of L3/L2+ autonomy systems at Latitude AI, you will lead the following work as an individual contributor working across the organization:</p> <ul> <li>The definition of the ODD: Negotiate product-level wants and define vehicle-level behavioral requirements, working closely with Latitude’s Product team and executive management</li> <li>The development of the HW/SW architecture: Collaborate with Latitude’s hardware and software leads</li> <li>High-level systems engineering: Define requirements, metrics, and verification methods in partnership with systems engineering
