C++ Software Engineer, Remote Assist
About Stack:
Stack is developing revolutionary AI and advanced autonomous systems designed to enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency of modern operations. Stack's autonomous technology incorporates cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, and cloud technologies, empowering us to create innovative solutions that address the needs and challenges of the dynamic trucking transportation industry. With decades of experience creating and deploying real world systems for demanding environments, the Stack team is dedicated to developing an autonomous solution ecosystem tailored to the trucking industry's unique demands.
About the Role:
The Remote Assist team accelerates the delivery of our self-driving system, increases the on-time arrival of freight shipments, and improves the behavior of our autonomous trucks on the road. We do so by delivering a tool for human operators to remotely assist the self-driving system in complex and ambiguous situations. The Remote Assistance team is a very broad full-stack team. We deliver on complex user interfaces, reliable and scalable cloud infrastructure, live video over cellular connections, new autonomy capabilities, and integrations with the autonomy system. We're a dynamic and pragmatic team that has superpower in-house abilities to categorically change the trajectory of our company's success.
Responsibilities:
• Own the onboard Remote Assist system including the core RA subsystem and integrations with other subsystems such as mapping, planning, perception, etc.
• You are a member of an uncommonly broad end-to-end team that includes front end, cloud, and robotics engineers working together on a single product. You are excited to work across our entire codebase and it is a positive for you that you will have the opportunity to contribute to many aspects of the onboard system including areas our team does not own - working on motion planning, mapping, perception, and more.
• You are excited to work beyond onboard C++ code and it's a positive that you will be on a multidisciplinary team where you will support cloud and front end development with code reviews and design discussions.
• Your areas of ownership include complex testing, simulation, and operator training capabilities, onboard to offboard data streaming and auditability of the remote assist system.
• Partner closely with the Director of Remote Assistance and you collaborate closely with both motion planning and cloud platform software engineers.
• Take part in on-call rotations whenever the fleet is active.
• Quarterly travel to on-sites at our headquarters in Pittsburgh.
Qualifications:
• BS or MS in Computer Science or closely related field.
• 7+ years of experience as a software engineer.
• Strong C++ programming skill and experience working with large production-grade codebases.
• Experience leading the delivery of critical software systems.
• Experience in AV, Robotics, or closely related fields.
• Experience with simulation testing and automated testing.
• Strong and proven teamwork and collaboration skills.
Desired Qualifications:
• Remote Assistance, Motion Planning, Mapping or related experience.
• Experience with WebSockets, gRPC and Protobufs.
• Experience with video streaming, WebRTC, or similar real time data streaming systems.
• Experience with Python or Go.
• Experience with validating safety-critical systems.
