Job Description
We are seeking a Senior/Staff Software Systems Architect with strong analytical and technical skills to gather, interpret, and present data that supports architecture decisions for our autonomous driving platform. This role sits at the intersection of software, hardware, and systems design, with a focus on collecting and analyzing real-world performance, telemetry, and service data to provide the evidence base for robust, scalable, and efficient solutions. You will analyze power and performance measurements, assess service and operational efficiency, and identify solutions to potential integration bottlenecks or failure risks, ensuring that vehicle platform architectural evolution is grounded in clear, data-backed insights.
You will play a key role in profiling system performance, assessing operational efficiency, and identifying bottlenecks or failure risks across compute and service layers. Your insights will directly influence vehicle platform architecture, compute module design, and fail-operational strategies.
Qualifications:
- 10+ years’ experience in systems architecture or system design, with a strong background in software, hardware, or embedded systems.
- Proven expertise in profiling and analyzing power and performance.
- Experience designing and validating fail-operational, fault-tolerant systems using real-world failure and performance data.
- Ability to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, power optimizations, and scaling risks, and collaborate cross-functionally to optimize system reliability and efficiency.
- Strong communicator, able to translate complex technical insights into clear recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Bonus Qualifications:
- Experience in Linux environments with hands-on experience using power and profiling tools.
- Experience with Databricks, Looker, and Grafana for gathering analytics and dashboarding.
- Experience with systems or SW development for an autonomous vehicle company.
