Software Engineer II - Device Drivers

Torc has been a leader in autonomous vehicle technology since 2007.

Now part of the Daimler family, we’re focused on building the software that will bring autonomous trucks to market.

The Device Drivers team builds and maintains the software that configures and interfaces with our sensors, moving data from sensors to the systems that consume it primarily using C++.

• Design and implement software integrating external sensors (PCIe, DMA, Ethernet, CAN) into the system using C++, including debugging and performance tuning at the system level.
• Maintain software releases and testing artifacts.
• Optimize real-time behavior, memory usage, and performance of real-time applications running in multi-threaded, multi-core environments.
• Maintain automated build pipelines, test environments, and test tooling using C++/Python/Bash. Partner with DevOps, QA, Hardware, and Networking teams to troubleshoot issues and ensure system security, stability, and scalability.
• Integrate and maintain third-party and open-source software.
• Contribute to technical design discussions and documentation.
• Provide technical guidance to junior engineers on driver design and debugging approaches.

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science, or a related field, with 4+ years of experience or a Master’s with 0-3+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong C/C++ proficiency and hands-on experience with device drivers/user-space drivers, Linux embedded development, systemd service management, general Linux system administration, and real-time systems (latency analysis via CyclicTest, ftrace).
