Full Job Description
Latitude AI (lat.ai) develops automated driving technologies, including L3, for Ford vehicles at scale. We’re driven by the opportunity to reimagine what it’s like to drive and make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone. When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering – all dedicated to making a real, positive impact on the driving experience for millions of people. As a Ford Motor Company subsidiary, we operate independently to develop automated driving technology at the speed of a technology startup. Latitude is headquartered in Pittsburgh with engineering centers in Dearborn, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif. Meet the team: The Embedded Software team develops foundational platform software that is critical to development across the company. The team develops FreeRTOS, SafeRTOS, and bare metal environments for both QM and ASIL applications on a variety of embedded targets including ARM. Projects often impact all levels of the stack from the bootchain to applications and usually require cross-functional collaboration with other engineering teams. We have a strong passion for technical excellence and rigorous compliance with ASPICE and ISO26262. What you’ll do: Drive the design and implementation of a centralized "source of truth" for system-level RTOS configurations, including DDR memory maps, UDMA channels, and peripheral assignments Architect and configure MPU (Memory Protection Unit) and hardware firewalls to ensure "Freedom from Interference" (FFI) between safety-critical (ASIL) and non-safety (QM) tasks Lead the setup and evolution of the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and low-level drivers. Your goal is to create a common area for driver logic that scales across different projects and platforms Take broad responsibility for core SoC integration modules, ensuring they are archit
