Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Mathematics, or related field.
1+ years of experience in shipping complex software in C++11 and above.

Nice to have:

A MSc or PhD in computer science or applied mathematics with coursework or research experience in robotics.
Experience developing onboard or embedded application software (e.g., autonomy, ADAS, robotics).
Experience with driver assistance or autonomous driving systems or off-road products.
