Torc Robotics is an innovative company focused on commercializing self-driving trucks for long-haul freight transportation. As an independent subsidiary of Daimler Truck, the company is developing autonomous technology, primarily focusing on the Freightliner Cascadia. Torc is committed to safe transportation, continuously improving its solutions through rigorous testing and integration of industry-leading sensors. It collaborates with fleet management companies to deploy real-world autonomous solutions, aiming to lead the industry in autonomous trucking.

📋 Description

• Design, develop, and maintain core planning and prediction systems, including trajectory generation, behavior prediction, decision-making, and motion planning algorithms for autonomous trucks. • Advance and evaluate multiple planning approaches, including optimization-based, learning-based, and hybrid architectures, making data-driven decisions on where each methodology delivers the greatest value. • Own technical solutions across the full software lifecycle, including architecture design, implementation, testing, simulation validation, vehicle integration, deployment, and long-term maintenance. • Develop production-quality software using modern C++ within a Linux environment while adhering to quality, safety, testing, and deployment best practices. • Drive simulation-based validation efforts across Software-in-the-Loop (SiL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL), and Vehicle-in-the-Loop (ViL) environments to ensure robust performance and prevent regressions. • Partner closely with Safety, Controls, Perception, Validation, and Simulation teams to develop safe and reliable autonomous driving behaviors, including fallback strategies and minimum-risk maneuvers. • Lead root-cause investigations by reproducing field issues in simulation, debugging vehicle behavior, and translating findings into actionable software improvements. • Influence technical strategy, roadmap planning, and long-term architectural direction across the Behaviors organization. • Act as a technical lead on complex, cross-functional initiatives, driving alignment and execution across teams and stakeholders. • Mentor engineers, raise technical standards, and help develop the next generation of autonomy leaders within the organization.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field with 10+ years of industry experience; OR Master's degree with 7+ years of experience; OR PhD with 5+ years of experience. • Expert-level proficiency in modern C++ development within Linux-based environments. • Demonstrated experience delivering robotics, autonomous vehicle, or advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) software into production. • Strong experience designing and developing motion planning, behavior planning, prediction, or decision-making systems for autonomous systems or robotics applications. • Deep understanding of software architecture, system design, and scalable engineering practices. • Experience working across the full software development lifecycle, from concept and design through deployment and operational support. • Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to influence technical direction across organizations. • Ability to operate independently in highly ambiguous environments while driving complex technical initiatives to completion.

🏖️ Benefits

• A competitive compensation package that includes a bonus component and stock options • 100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees • 401K plan with a 6% employer match • Flexibility in schedule and generous paid vacation (available immediately after start date) • AD+D and Life Insurance
