Oxa is enabling the transition to self-driving vehicles through an initial focus on the most commercially advanced sector; the autonomous shuttling of goods and people.
We are home to some of the world’s leading experts on autonomous vehicles, creating solutions such as Oxa Driver, equipping vehicles with full self-driving functionality; Oxa MetaDriver, using Generative AI to accelerate and assure the safety of deployments; and Oxa Hub, a set of cloud-based offerings for autonomous fleet management. Our technology is being deployed across the UK and the U.S, and we’re partnering with a fast-growing ecosystem of operators, vehicle OEMs, and equipment makers serving autonomous transportation globally as it advances.
Based in Oxford, with offices in Canada and the U.S, Oxa was founded in 2014 and is growing rapidly (350+ ‘Oxbots’ to date). Our purpose is to change the way the Earth moves, through an uncompromising focus on safety, efficiency, and explainability of our AI approaches. The company has attracted $225 million from leading investors so far, with $140 million raised in the last Series C funding round in January 2023.
The role
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced C++ Software Engineer with expertise in developing mechanisms and pipelines to acquire metrics for real-time production autonomy software and evaluate its performance. You will develop tools and workflows that generate autonomy performance metrics when operating our Oxa Driver stack and build instrumentation to monitor and assess on-road decision making. You will champion the utilisation of these instruments through documentation, training, co-development, and support, ensuring their reliability and scalability. Additionally, you will define verification and validation strategies for the Oxa Driver Motion Planner.
As a member of the Evaluators, Metrics, and Tooling platform team, you will work closely with robotics engineers to measure Motion Planning performance. You will assess, help identify, and report on the Motion Planner's end-to-end deliverables for internal and external stakeholders. Your role will involve collaborating across capability owners to innovate and drive progress within the larger Manoeuvres Stream.
As a Senior Software Engineer, your responsibilities include:
* Developing and maintaining processes and APIs to generate performance signals and meaningful metrics
* Building and owning tools and the Planning evaluation framework
* Contributing to the full engineering lifecycle: scoping, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance
* Verifying and validating through on-road testing and scenario simulation
* Using synthetic data from simulations to expand test scenarios
* Managing CI/CD pipelines to monitor performance regressions
* Collaborating with other teams to define new metrics and processes
* Influencing technical strategy, training, and hiring to align with overall objectives
* Interfacing with teams to deepen understanding of the autonomy stack and business aspects
