Technical Lead, Mining Autonomy Platform

Responsibilities

• Lead technical direction and mentor engineers for the Autonomy Platform team, setting architecture and execution priorities
• Work with autonomy product team to define roadmap across internal product milestones and customer requirements
• Own the low-level vehicle controls interface — designing and implementing the autonomy-to-vehicle control layer, including drive-by-wire integration and system identification for new mining platforms
• Build and maintain the software platform that keeps autonomous vehicles healthy in production: health monitoring, diagnostics, telemetry pipelines, networking, and OTA deployment
• Drive 0→1 bringup of new mining vehicle platforms, from initial hardware bring-up through software integration and field validation
• Partner with internal teams to integrate shared capabilities and adapt them for the specific requirements of mining environments
• Define and uphold engineering standards for reliability, safety, and scalability as the fleet grows toward full production deployment

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in embedded systems, robotics, or autonomous vehicle software development
• Proven experience leading a technical team or functioning as a tech lead on a complex systems project
• Hands-on background in robotics actuation — CAN, drive-by-wire, or similar control interfaces
• Experience building or owning software platform components: health monitoring, telemetry, diagnostics, or deployment systems for production embedded platforms
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded and real-time systems development
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

Nice to Have

• Experience in mining, construction, or agriculture autonomy — familiarity with the operating environment and vehicle types (haul trucks, dozers, drills, etc.)
• Background in controls, system identification (sysid), or vehicle dynamics modeling
• Familiarity with OTA deployment and fleet management systems for embedded platforms
• Prior work in a 0→1 environment — taking a new vehicle platform from initial bring-up to production readiness
• Experience working with partner or external teams to integrate shared platform components into a product-specific application

Compensation

Base salary range: $125,000 - $222,000 USD annually, plus equity and benefits.
