About the Team We build the foundational system software and embedded Linux platform that run our autonomous vehicles and delivery robots. Modern autonomous platforms are essentially rolling, edge data centers: high-throughput cameras, LiDARs, compute nodes, and managed switches must communicate with ultra-low latency and microsecond-level time synchronization. Simultaneously, the vehicle must maintain robust, high-availability connectivity to the cloud via cellular and Wi-Fi networks while moving through unpredictable physical environments. Our team owns this foundation end-to-end: the on-board network architecture, customized Linux images, fleet-wide OS updates, and the connectivity daemons that keep our fleet online. When our layer works seamlessly, the autonomy stack above it doesn't have to think about hardware, packets, or clocks — and that is exactly the goal. About the Role We are looking for a Systems & Networking Engineer to own, scale, and harden the communication fabric of our autonomous vehicles. You will focus deeply on both our complex, multi-gigabit internal network (connecting safety-critical sensors and high-compute nodes using the latest Automotive Ethernet and TSN standards) and external connectivity (high-throughput 5G telemetry), debugging complex issues across the Linux stack and target hardware. This is a high-impact, hands-on role with broad technical ownership. You will collaborate closely with core platform and hardware engineers to evolve our networking architecture. Your work spans the entire systems stack — from low-level optimizations like NIC ring buffer tuning and microsecond PTP/gPTP synchronization, to architec …truncated… code>, and hardware timestamping in distributed systems. Embedded / Hardware Tools: Comfort using lab tools (serial consoles, JTAG, I2C/SPI) to isolate hardware faults vs. software bugs on ARM64 platforms. Real-Time Linux: Experience with real-time OS tuning, cgroups , CPU pinning, and scheduling priorities. Nix…
