The posting

Latitude AI (lat.ai) is building the future of Ford’s autonomy roadmap to make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone. Bringing this vision to scale, our fully in-house developed hands-free ADAS platform will debut on the all-new Ford Fathom in 2027.

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 redefining the relationship between people and their vehicles for millions of customers.

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 Runtime Infrastructure Frameworks (RIF) team at Latitude AI. As a member of the RIF team, you will be responsible for designing, delivering, and maintaining the software frameworks upon which our advanced driver assist system is built. You will collaborate with systems engineering, autonomy (localization, perception, planning, controls), the onboard platform team, and project management to ensure autonomy applications integrate seamlessly with each other and the underlying platform.

The RIF team develops the core execution and messaging frameworks that coordinate how our distributed ADAS system runs and communicates. Our frameworks encompass both real-time embedded and Linux operating systems, providing the interfaces by which hardware resources are accessed. We own a comprehensive build solution that provides a unified, static view of the system, and we own the services responsible for launching and orchestrating autonomy applications.

What you’ll do:

  • Design, develop, and test the reliable and high-performance software that all autonomy functions are built upon
  • Develop tools for providing insight into the performance and behavior of the system
  • Collaborate with autonomy teams to ensure their systems integrate well with the runtime infrastructure frameworks, enabling their success
  • Create automated unit and integration tests that verify the software works as expected and meets the requirements
  • Work closely with the simulation team to ensure that the runtime system is accurately tested off-vehicle in a virtual environment
  • Contribute to software architecture development within your area of ownership
  • Work with Product Security and Functional Safety teams to ensure the system is hardened and adheres to automotive safety standards

What you'll need to succeed:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field and 4+ years of relevant experience (or Master's degree and 2+ years of relevant experience, or PhD)
  • At least 5 years of development experience using C++17 or newer in a systems programming role
  • Experience developing in a Linux or Unix environment
  • Ability to design software components and systems and clearly communicate your designs through documents, diagrams, and presentations
  • Strong team player able to operate effectively on cross-functional teams

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Bazel
  • Experience with ROS or another robotics middleware framework
  • Experience with software systems using a publish/subscribe model of communication (e.g. ZeroMQ, MQTT, DDS, Iceoryx)
  • Experience with distributed and concurrent programming paradigms
  • Experience with embedded and real-time operating systems (e.g. FreeRTOS, SafeRTOS)
  • Familiarity with ISO-26262 and/or other software safety standards

What we offer you:

  • Competitive compensation packages
  • High-quality individual and family medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Health savings account with available employer match
  • Employer-matched 401(k) retirement plan with immediate vesting
  • Employer-paid group term life insurance and the option to elect voluntary life insurance
  • Paid parental leave
  • Paid medical leave
  • Unlimited vacation
  • 15 paid holidays
  • Daily lunches, snacks, and beverages available in all office locations
  • Pre-tax spending accounts for healthcare and dependent care expenses
  • Pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Monthly wellness stipend
  • Adoption/Surrogacy support program
  • Backup child and elder care program
  • Professional development reimbursement
  • Employee assistance program
  • Discounted programs that include legal services, identity theft protection, pet insurance, and more
  • Company and team bonding outlets: employee resource groups, quarterly team activity stipend, and wellness initiatives

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
