Senior/Staff Software Engineer - Autonomous Systems

  2026-05-13     Lumicity     San Francisco,CA  
Description:

If you've built autonomy stacks that run in production (not just simulation) this one's for you.

We're partnered with a well-funded, high-growth autonomy company working on some of the hardest real-world deployment problems in the industry. They need a senior engineer who can own complex autonomy software end-to-end and push it all the way to deployment.

What you'll work on:

  • Developing and deploying autonomy software across planning, prediction, and/or perception pipelines
  • Bridging simulation and real-world performance - SIL/HIL, edge case coverage, validation at scale
  • Collaborating directly with hardware, systems, and ML teams to ship production-grade autonomous behavior

What they're looking for:

  • 5+ years in autonomy software (planning, perception, prediction, or full-stack)
  • Deep C++/Python, ROS/ROS2, real-world system deployment experience
  • Track record of taking autonomy software from dev → test → production
  • Background from AV, robotics, aerial, or defense autonomy

The role:

  • Bay Area, CA
  • Base up to $300K+ equity
  • Well-capitalized, mission-driven team - real deployment, not vaporware
