Software Engineer - Performance Optimization

Job summary

Responsibilities

We are looking for a Software Engineer with deep experience in optimizing the application-layer software for embedded systems. In this role, you will work across multiple components of an autonomous driving software stack deployed on embedded compute platforms.

• Analyze runtime performance of the application layer and identify potential resource contentions
• Optimize compute usage to fit within embedded platform constraints without sacrificing algorithm accuracy or latency
• Profile and tune performance on embedded targets under real-world operating conditions
• Collaborate closely with ML runtime optimization engineers to ensure smooth model inference execution within the stack
• Proactively design for contention avoidance and thread safety through code reviews and software architecture reviews; propose single threaded lock-free approaches where appropriate

What they're looking for

• Bachelors or Masters in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in software development
• Strong C++ development skills with a focus on runtime performance
• Experience profiling CPU, GPU, and memory usage performance on constrained compute
• Proven ability to debug complex runtime issues and resolve onboard resource contention

Tech stack

• C++
• PyTorch
