Kodiak Robotics Benefits Overview

Designs and implements onboard vehicle systems integrating autonomy hardware, embedded devices, AI, and vehicle platforms. Responsibilities include testing vehicle actuation systems, developing real-time operating system components and C++ infrastructure, building reliable compute and network systems, deploying autonomous trucks, and analyzing system performance. Requires 5+ years of software development connected to hardware, modern C++, CAN protocols, and Linux debugging. Experience with control systems, Bazel, bare-metal or RTOS platforms, and ISO 26262 is preferred.

Manage technical execution roadmaps, hardware platform development, integration, manufacturing scale-up, schedules, milestones, resources, risks, and cross-functional dependencies. Partner with hardware, software, systems, and operations teams to deliver autonomous vehicle programs on time and safely. Communicate priorities and tradeoffs, resolve blockers, improve manufacturing productivity, and maintain technical understanding of autonomous vehicle platforms, hardware lifecycles, safety processes, and testing operations.

Leads electromechanical manufacturing engineering for autonomous vehicle systems, including DFM, supplier coordination, documentation, production-line design, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, yield improvement, testing, fixtures, and automation. The role requires taking complex systems from design through scaled production, coordinating cross-functional teams, improving manufacturing processes, and communicating program progress and risks to leadership.
