Job Description:

COMPANYGPR is radically accelerating the arrival of self-driving vehicles by tackling some of the most challenging problems that stand in the way of safe and reliable navigation.Every road in the world has a unique subsurface signature. GPR uses radar to create a map of those subsurface signatures from which self-driving cars can navigate. Vehicles using GPR are unaffected by common but challenging road conditions like snow, heavy rain, fog, or poor lane markings.GPR is working with leading autonomous vehicle companies, is backed by leading investors, is growing quickly, and is building a talented team that wants to transform the future of mobility and work on some of the hardest and most important engineering problems around. If that sounds like you, please drop us a line.ROLEWe're looking for a sharp, creative and experienced software engineer to play a key role in GPR's software development. You'll work with the software team and drive the software architecture. You'll develop new software on a Linux platform for the GPR system. These wide-ranging tasks will include design and coding of APIs between the various sensors, control units and the vehicle systems. You will also need to design, code, and analyze core functions and algorithms for our radar processing and localization. Your focus will be on developing commercial radar systems for autonomous vehicles. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to support some of the leading companies in autonomous vehicles as they integrate GPR into their product.WHO YOU ARE + WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Contribute to the software, DevOps, and IT teams, focusing on technical excellence and delivering high-quality results.
• Work with the team to design and architect the software stack and API.
• Improve designs, coding, and methods to analyze core functions and algorithms for the system.
