Software Engineer, Autonomy Visualization

About the role

Join our team to build the visual systems that interpret how our autonomous driving software perceives the world. You will create tools that allow engineers to inspect and debug complex robotic decision-making processes. Your work directly impacts the safety and reliability of our self-driving technology as we expand into robotaxis and licensed vehicle systems. In this role, you will own the design and implementation of visualization frameworks that translate raw sensor inputs into actionable insights for our autonomy engineers. You will be responsible for ensuring that these tools provide clear, accurate, and performant representations of the vehicle's operational domain. This position requires ownership of the full stack, from low-level data ingestion to high-level user interaction within the analytics environment. You will work closely with cross-functional partners to define the requirements for new visualization capabilities that support our evolving product needs. Your contributions will be integral to the continuous improvement of our simulation and debugging workflows, helping to accelerate the development of our autonomous vehicle software.
