About Stack:
Stack is developing revolutionary AI and advanced autonomous systems designed to enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency of modern operations. Stack's autonomous technology incorporates cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, and cloud technologies, empowering us to create innovative solutions that address the needs and challenges of the dynamic trucking transportation industry. With decades of experience creating and deploying real world systems for demanding environments, the Stack team is dedicated to developing an autonomous solution ecosystem tailored to the trucking industry's unique demands.About the Role:
This is for a C/C++ software engineer with a focus on communications protocols and data streaming for Remote Assistance. The Remote Assist team accelerates the delivery of our self-driving system, increases the on-time arrival of freight shipments, and improves the behavior of our autonomous trucks on the road. We do so by delivering a tool for human operators to remotely assist the self-driving system in complex and ambiguous situations. The Remote Assistance team is a very broad full-stack team. We deliver on complex user interfaces, reliable and scalable cloud infrastructure, live video over cellular connections, new autonomy capabilities, and integrations with the autonomy system. We’re a dynamic and pragmatic team that has superpower in-house abilities to categorically change the trajectory of our company’s success.
Responsibilities:
Contribute to the onboard C++ Remote Assist system including the core RA subsystem and integrations with other subsystems such as visualization, mapping, planning, perception, etc.
Own the networking and communications stack for the remote assistance product.
You are a member of an uncommonly broad end-to-end team that includes front end, cloud, and robotics engineers working together on a single product. You are excited to work across our entire codebase and it is a positive for you that you will have the opportunity to contribute to many aspects of the onboard system including areas our team does not own - working on motion planning, mapping, perception, and more.
You are excited to work beyond onboard C++ code and it’s a positive that you will be on a multidisciplinary team where you will support cloud and front end development with code reviews and design discussions.
Partner closely with the RA tech leads that own onboard and offboard code.
Work across functions with other teams including design, fleet monitoring engineering, infrastructure engineering, etc.
Take part in on-call rotations.
Quarterly travel to on-sites at our headquarters in Pittsburgh.
Required Qualifications:
BS or higher degree in Computer Science or closely related field.
Expert in modern network protocols such as HTTP3, QUIC, WebSockets, gRPC, or similar.
Experience with streaming technologies such as WebRTC or similar.
Desired Qualifications:
Experience in AV, Robotics, or closely related fields.
Remote Assistance, Motion Planning, Mapping or related experience.
Experience with simulation testing and automated testing.
We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We believe that diverse teams produce the best ideas and outcomes. We are committed to building a culture of inclusion, entrepreneurship, and innovation across gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and identity.
