    • \n
    • Experience working on heterogeneous systems with various types of hardware accelerators (GPU, ISP, Encoder, etc.)
    • \n
    • Experience using and/or building libraries for hardware accelerators (CUDA, TensorRT, OpenCL, etc.)
    • \n
    • Experience contributing to middleware and/or building abstraction layers
    • \n
    • Familiar with OpenCV, OpenVX, or relevant acceleration frameworks in perception applications
    • \n

    About Rivian

    Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract. 

     

    As a company, we constantly challenge what’s possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations. 


    Role Summary

    As a Software Engineer specializing in safety-critical self-driving middleware, you will play a vital role in the design, development, and deployment of software that underpins essential self-driving features. Your responsibilities encompass a range of technical tasks, from software development to architecture analysis, all contributing to the successful implementation of robust and reliable self-driving solutions.


    Responsibilities

    • Design, develop, and deploy software within hardware abstraction middleware to enable safety-critical self-driving features
    • Develop software working on Linux as well as real-time operating systems (QNX, FreeRTOS, etc.)
    • Develop software working on a distributed and heterogeneous system (multiple processors/HW engines)
    • Develop necessary tools to support development, debugging, and testing
    • Assist in software-design and code reviews while assisting other developers on technical issues, design choices, and decision making
    • Analysis of requirements, architecture, design, development, code review, quality assurance, and deployment of entire software engineering life cycle
    • Coordinate with application development and cross-functional teams to enable and support middleware integration

    Qualifications

    • B.S. / M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
    • Strong C++ programming skills
    • Familiarity with at least one scripting language (for example Bash, Lua, Python)
    • Experience in automotive or robotics software development 
    • Experience in software development for x86_64 and ARM architectures
    • Experience working on heterogeneous systems with various types of hardware accelerators (GPU, ISP, Encoder, etc.)
    • Experience using and/or building libraries for hardware accelerators (CUDA, TensorRT, OpenCL, etc.)
    • Experience contributing to middleware and/or building abstraction layers
    • Familiar with OpenCV, OpenVX, or relevant acceleration frameworks in perception applications
    • Experience contributing to software tooling (for code auto-generation, test automation, fault injection, etc.)
    • Good team player with great communication skills to drive cross-functional efforts in a fast-paced development environment
    • Passionately motivated to take ideas from R&D phase to a product
    • Software Development life cycle experience: from requirements gathering through to implementation and maintenance.

    Pay Disclosure

    Salary Range for California Based Applicants: [$163,000.00 - $197,000.00] (actual compensation will be determined based on experience, location, and other factors permitted by law).
