Senior Embedded Software Integration Engineer

PlusAI•Fremont, CA

About The Position

The Senior Embedded Software Integration Engineer will join the runtime team, responsible for on-vehicle autonomous driving system integration, optimization, and core feature development. The role collaborates across functions to define and implement sensor and vehicle interface CAN integration and diagnostics in the AUTOSAR safety domain. It also supports new vehicle platform and actuator integration, develops tools and procedures for vehicle bring-up, and includes regular travel to partner proving grounds for on-vehicle testing and validation. The engineer will integrate and maintain software in the AUTOSAR stack, develop diagnostic capabilities, troubleshoot vehicle and system issues, support vehicle bring-up, and plan and execute testing. The position requires travel up to 50% of the time, including work on and around Class-8 commercial vehicles. The role is expected to comply with the company’s Quality Management System (QMS), support continuous improvement, monitor quality, and drive process improvements.
