We're Cruise, a self-driving service designed for the cities we love.

We’re building the world’s most advanced, self-driving vehicles to safely connect people to the places, things, and experiences they care about. We believe self-driving vehicles will help save lives, reshape cities, give back time in transit, and restore freedom of movement for many.

Cruisers have the opportunity to grow and develop while learning from leaders at the forefront of their fields. With a culture of internal mobility, there's an opportunity to thrive in a variety of disciplines. This is a place for dreamers and doers to succeed.

If you are looking to play a part in making a positive impact in the world by advancing the revolutionary work of self-driving cars, join us.

The Embedded Systems Team develops the first layers of software on the car, from interfacing with hardware, to moving large amounts of data up the software stack. We are looking for a Staff Embedded Software Engineer who will be responsible for designing, documenting, and implementing complex, highly scalable, low-latency software in C++ on Linux-based systems for next generation Telematics and Wireless connectivity devices. This is a unique opportunity to write foundational software on which the rest of Cruise builds upon.

What you’ll be doing:

• Write high performance software running on components such as, Telematics and Connectivity devices (WiFi, LTE, Bluetooth, and GPS), for the autonomous vehicle system that ensure functionality, performance and safety when integrated into the broader system and provide critical functionality for overall vehicle communication
• Develop Application layer and Middleware software in C++ to interface the Cruise autonomy stack with the sensors and next generation wireless connectivity hardware on the vehicle
• Improve and deliver reliable software through requirements generation, continuous integration, automated testing, issue tracking, and code reviews
• Collaborate with Systems Engineering, Program management, Product management and Peer software teams to develop critical connectivity features for the Autonomous vehicle
• Contribute to the roadmap and software planning activities within the team, helping drive the vision of how the team should evolve
• Work with cross-functional teams to define the system-level architecture for the implementation of our future generations of the Telematics unit
• Initiate large projects with complex design breaking them down to the right logical components to optimize software stack and support scalability. Deliver these projects through incremental development
