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: We're searching for a Senior Software Engineer to come and join the Foundations and Frameworks Runtime Infrastructure (RI) team at Latitude AI. As a Senior Software Engineer within the RI group, you will be responsible for designing, delivering, and maintaining software systems that run as part of our advanced driver assist system, spanning both the high-level runtime that hosts our autonomy stack and the low-level embedded software that runs on safety-critical microcontroller cores. The team works cross-functionally with several groups including systems engineering, autonomy (localization, perception, planning, controls), the onboard platform team, silicon/hardware bring-up, and project management. You will collaborate with the broader Latitude AI organization including experts in machine learning, robotics, sensor processing, and simulation, supporting their development and time to delivery. The goal of the RI team is to provide infrastructure support to the rest of the development groups by creating world-class features and tools while also collaborating closely with stakeholders to understand and service their unique needs. The Foundations and Frameworks team
