Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Software Engineering

Key Responsibilities

  • •Develop autonomy software for autonomous mining vehicles — perception, localization, mapping, motion planning, and control
  • •Integrate and calibrate the sensing suite (LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMU, GNSS), implementing sensor fusion and time synchronization robust to mining environments
  • •Build and maintain embedded and real-time software that bridges sensing, compute, and actuation, with attention to safety, latency, and reliability
  • •Develop simulation, logging, and data pipelines to test autonomy behavior and drive performance against safety and availability targets
  • •Lead bench, rig, and field validation of the autonomy stack, debugging across the full software-hardware boundary

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 140,000 - 200,000 annually
Equity and Bonus:Equity

Key Requirements

  • •Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical, or related engineering discipline
  • •5-10+ years developing autonomy, robotics, or embedded software, ideally for mobile robots or vehicles
  • •Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python, and with a robotics middleware such as ROS/ROS 2
  • •Hands-on experience with sensor integration and fusion - LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMU, GNSS - and with perception, localization, or motion-planning algorithms
  • •Working knowledge of real-time and embedded systems, and of the controls and software-hardware integration that drive actuation
