Meet The Team: 

Torc is hiring a Senior Linux Systems Engineer to design, develop and manage embedded compute platforms and maintain critical infrastructure for autonomous vehicles. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of software configuration management, from development through field deployment, ensuring reliable and repeatable delivery of autonomous systems software to vehicles operating in demanding environments.

What You'll Do: 

As a Senior Linux Engineer, you will own the embedded Linux platform architecture and software delivery infrastructure. You will design and maintain the systems that ensure autonomous vehicles run the correct software configurations, can be updated remotely, and provide the necessary telemetry for monitoring and troubleshooting. You work at the intersection of embedded systems and release management and work closely with a group of fast-moving autonomy engineers to ensure seamless hardware and software integration on a novel autonomy platform.

• Embedded Platform Development and Management
  • Design, configure, and maintain an embedded Linux compute platform for a specialized autonomous vehicle application.
  • Manage network configuration, device drivers, board support packages, security policies, and access controls for embedded deployments.
• Software Configuration and Deployment Management
  • Design and implement comprehensive CI/CD pipelines for autonomous vehicle software releases with automated testing and validation systems to verify software configurations before field deployment.
  • Develop configuration management frameworks that deliver an embedded software version management and software update system.
  • Establish infrastructure-as-code practices for both embedded platforms and deployment infrastructure.
• Logging and Monitoring Systems
  • Architect solutions for real-time vehicle monitoring, health-checking, and diagnostics,
