In this role, you’ll bring a strong foundation in software engineering principles, with deep expertise in C++, algorithm development, and architectural design.

You’ll develop high-performance C++ applications that run on real-time embedded systems—powering critical features like system monitoring and fault handling.

This team is also responsible for building the communication layer between the Torc Autonomous Driver and the base vehicle platform.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in shaping technical direction, mentoring junior developers, and driving engineering excellence.

From requirements and software architecture to coding, testing, and deployment automation—you’ll own the full development lifecycle in a collaborative, Agile environment.

Your impact will extend beyond code, helping to define scalable frameworks and uphold best practices across the team.

The Compute Platform MCU Applications team is responsible for developing all software that runs on the safety microcontroller in Torc’s autonomous trucks. These applications are critical for monitoring and aggregating hardware and software faults and relaying key information to the virtual driver. We also develop software interfaces between the Torc autonomous driver and the base vehicle. Our work ensures software commonality, architecture consistency, and system reliability in safety-critical environments.

At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business.

A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners.

Now a part of the Daimler family

, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.

Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.
