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>The Embedded Software team develops foundational platform software that is critical to development across the company. The team develops FreeRTOS, SafeRTOS, and bare metal environments for both QM and ASIL applications on a variety of embedded targets including ARM. Projects often impact all levels of the stack from the bootchain to applications and usually require cross-functional collaboration with other engineering teams. We have a strong passion for technical excellence and rigorous compliance with ASPICE and ISO26262.</p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>What you’ll do:&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <ul> <li>Support the development and maintenance of an on-vehicle UDS (ISO 14229) diagnostic stack running as a Linux userspace application on an embedded ARM-based compute platform, working alongside the subsystem owner</li> <li>Develop and maintain embedded C++ software running in Linux userspace on ARM-based compute platforms, contributing to a real-time capable HLOS environment</li> <li>Drive a test-first mindset — routinely designing and implementing unit, integration, and bench-level tests to ensure subsystems are well validated end-to-end</li> <li>Own specific modules or
