Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

The Senior IT Systems Engineer at Kodiak Robotics will oversee support for users, automate IT processes, and manage network infrastructure, collaborating on various IT projects.

Own the full product lifecycle for Level 4 autonomous trucking solutions: define requirements, prioritize features, drive cross-functional execution, monitor KPIs, gather user feedback, communicate progress and risks, and support commercial deployments.

Lead end-to-end product development for Assisted Autonomy, defining strategy, roadmap, KPIs, and requirements. Drive hardware and software integration, partner with Engineering, Ops, Safety and customers, manage releases and field deployments, and travel up to 25% to gather operational feedback.

Lead and scale end-to-end supply chain for an autonomous trucking hardware company. Own planning, procurement, inventory, contract manufacturing, warehouse/logistics, financial controls (CIP/accounting), compliance, and cross-functional partnerships. Build team, processes, and systems (SAP/MRP, S&OP) to move from low-volume to high-volume production while driving cost reduction, audit readiness, and real-time material visibility.

The engineer will derive requirements for safe driving in self-driving vehicles, collaborate on algorithms, and support testing and system design for autonomy.

Lead product strategy for Kodiak's Level 4 autonomous trucking hardware stack (sensors, compute, vehicle integration). Define multi-year roadmaps, drive architecture-level trade-offs, align cross-functional teams, own end-to-end product lifecycle and deployments, mentor PMs, and communicate progress to executives and customers. Travel to deployment and partner sites ~10–25%.

Design, validate, and debug medium-to-high complexity PCBA and electrical subsystems for autonomous vehicles. Lead DFMEA, ISO 26262/ASIL compliance, thermal and power validation, root-cause analysis, and cross-functional integration from schematic through product release.

Build tools, libraries, and infrastructure to accelerate Planning development for autonomous vehicles. Improve testing, debugging, metrics, simulation, and evaluation workflows; expose actionable insights from logs and real-world data. Lead infrastructure projects, optimize performance and maintainability, and partner with Planning engineers to increase engineering velocity and safety-case/test coverage.

Design, implement, and own behavior and motion planning features for autonomous trucks end-to-end. Debug using logs, simulation, and real-world data, define validation metrics, participate in design and code reviews, and mentor engineers while collaborating across the autonomy stack.

Design and implement low-level embedded software for x86/ARM platforms in C/C++; collaborate with hardware and software teams to spec, test, and debug vehicle subsystems and sensors (camera, radar, lidar, IMU); work on network devices and time synchronization; perform hands-on hardware bring-up and on-vehicle debugging of buses like I2C, CAN, SPI, UART; ensure reliability and safety for autonomous trucking systems.
