Senior Software Engineer - Autonomy Core Frameworks at Torc Robotics · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Lead the architecture, design, implementation, and evolution of core frameworks that serve as the foundation for Torc's autonomous driving stack, including state management, inter-component communication, abstraction layers, and common utilities used across all software systems.
Drive the technical direction for real-time C++ architectural components and patterns responsible for reliable system-wide data flow, component coordination, error handling, and operational observability.
Establish scalable architectural patterns and abstractions that enable autonomous driving capabilities while driving technical tradeoff discussions and long-term design decisions that shape the entire platform.
Collaborate across Behavior and Perception teams to keep integration boundaries clean and shared abstractions coherent.
Lead architecture reviews, design discussions, and code reviews while establishing engineering standards that improve reliability, maintainability, testability, and scalability across the platform.
Mentor software engineers through technical coaching, architectural guidance, and day-to-day collaboration while raising engineering standards and fostering technical excellence across the organization.
Champion architectural quality through systematic validation, comprehensive testing strategies, observability frameworks, and production readiness practices that ensure platform robustness at scale.
Contribute to root cause analysis of complex platform-level issues and drive architectural improvements that enhance system reliability, performance, and operational resilience.
Define and evolve simulation and validation frameworks that enable rigorous testing of core architectural components across diverse operational scenarios and edge cases.
Evaluate emerging architectural patterns, systems research, and advanced techniques that can strengthen the platform's foundation and enable future autonomous driving capabilities.
Communicate complex architectural concepts and technical vision effectively across engineering teams, product, and leadership while building consensus around platform direction and technical strategy.
