Software Engineer - Dana for Physical AI

Description

The company, founded in 2017 and valued at $15 billion, is based in Sunnyvale, California, and builds the digital infrastructure that gives moving machines intelligence, a field it calls physical AI.

It serves automotive, defense, trucking, construction, mining and agriculture customers through three areas: tools and infrastructure, operating systems, and autonomy. Eighteen of the top 20 global automakers, the United States military and its allies rely on its solutions.

Offices are in Washington, D.C., San Diego, Ft. Walton Beach (Florida), Ann Arbor (Michigan), London, Stuttgart, Munich, Stockholm, Bangalore, Seoul and Tokyo.

The software engineering team builds across the product suite on full-stack, infrastructure, robotics and graphics problems in autonomy. Engineers own technical and product decisions, talk with users to gather feedback, and help shape a dynamic team culture.

Responsibilities

• Build new products, features and tools for customers' autonomy development workflows, working across the whole stack.
• Work alongside infrastructure, robotics and graphics engineers and startup veterans from many fields.
• Choose your own area of expertise and shape product decisions.
• Collaborate with others in the autonomy ecosystem and learn how different teams approach core autonomy problems.

Requirements

• A BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field, completed or in progress.
• At least 2 years as a software engineer, including at least 1 year at an automotive technology company.
• A basic grasp of UX fundamentals and design principles.
• A self-directed way of working and the ability to pick up new technical tools quickly.
• A track record of designing efficient, effective solutions to varied engineering challenges.
• Willingness to take initiative in a quick-moving environment.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting language, such as C, C++, Python, JavaScript or Java.
• Strong analytical thinking, exacting attention to detail, and clear verbal and written communication.
• Experience with simulation tools, modeling physical problems, robotics middleware, user-facing application design or video game development.
• Experience working with designers and frontend engineers.

Conditions

Full-time employees are expected to work from the office primarily, 5 days a week, though occasional remote work is allowed, such as starting from home before heading in or leaving early for family needs.

The in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions.

For US-based roles, the company provides accommodations in the application and interview process to disabled veterans and other applicants with disabilities or medical conditions, without requiring disclosure of the condition.
