Aurora is committed to hiring talented individuals from diverse backgrounds ready to contribute to a transportation ecosystem that enhances road safety, ensures timely delivery of essential goods, and improves mobility for all.
We are on the lookout for a Software Engineering Manager to lead our HIL Platform team. This pivotal team operates at the intersection of software and the physical world, and we are expanding to hasten the commercialization of the Aurora Driver across our Class 8 truck platforms. This is a unique opportunity to guide a high-impact team in developing the world’s most advanced "flight simulator" for autonomous vehicles, ensuring the safety and reliability of 80,000-pound trucks before they even reach public roads.
To attract a leading professional who approaches internal platforms as high-end products, we are emphasizing strategic decision-making, project execution, and product-centered leadership rather than specific HIL domain expertise. Here’s what you can expect in this role:
- Transform the Platform into a Product: Elevate internal hardware and simulation tools into a dependable, "customer-focused" service that empowers Autonomy engineers to deploy code with assurance and speed.
- Champion Strategic Technical Decisions: Assess and influence technical trade-offs, ensuring alignment with overarching business objectives.
