• Develop, integrate, and maintain kernel modules and user-space drivers for LiDARs, cameras, radars, GNSS/INS, CAN, and other vehicle interfaces.
• Maintain and expand network interfaces across the autonomous vehicle platform to ensure reliable communication.
• Implement observability and logging solutions to monitor system health, performance, and resource utilization in both lab and field deployments.
• Collaborate with autonomy, perception, and controls engineers to profile CPU/GPU usage and eliminate performance bottlenecks across the software stack.
• Harden the platform for production by applying security patches, enforcing secure boot, and implementing over-the-air (OTA) update pipelines.
• Own CI/CD pipelines for OS images and driver packages, automating build, test, and deployment processes.
• Provide on-call support for platform components during field trials and customer pilots at industrial sites.
• Contribute to technical documentation and best-practice guidelines for internal and external developers.
• Work within a hybrid model based in Atlanta, supporting both on-site and remote development activities.
• Ensure platform reliability, performance, and scalability to enable rapid iteration by perception and autonomy teams delivering production-ready capabilities to global airline and ground service provider customers.

• 3+ years of experience developing or maintaining Linux-based embedded or robotics platforms.
• Deep knowledge of Ubuntu or Linux systems, including package management, systemd, networking, and kernel configuration.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and Python; experience writing or debugging kernel modules and user-space drivers.
• Hands-on experience with ROS 1 or ROS 2 in a production or research setting.
• Familiarity with common communication buses and protocols (USB, Ethernet, CAN, PCIe, SPI, I2C).
• Strong grasp of real-time performance tuning, profiling tools (perf, eBPF, tracing), and resource-constrained optimization.

🏖️ Benefits

• Work with top-tier venture capital-backed aviation and autonomous driving technology.
• Contribute to a platform powering autonomous ground vehicles used by some of the world’s largest airlines and ground handling providers.
• Engage in field deployments at airports and industrial sites with direct impact on global operations.
• Collaborate in a fast-paced startup environment with high autonomy and technical ownership.
