Autonomous System Architect for Heavy Machinery and Construction Equipment

About this role

Autonomous System Architect for heavy machinery and construction equipment at TIER IV, which open-sources autonomous-driving software (Autoware) while productizing vehicle-integrated systems now entering mass production across multiple vehicle types and platforms.

Mass-production software needs design quality that withstands long-term maintenance, feature additions and porting to other platforms, requiring an experienced architect who can grasp the whole system and make decisions on software architecture and quality standards. Beyond paved urban/highway environments, the company develops autonomous driving for offroad (unpaved gravel and rocky) conditions where heavy and construction machinery are central. As the software technical leader in the offroad domain, the role handles hardware-and-software-spanning architecture design, design policies tailored to deployment conditions, choosing between in-house and external technology, and selecting and coordinating development partners, with knowledge of heavy/construction machinery being a big factor. The main target is a heavy/construction-machinery autonomous-driving system built on Autoware, with the architect driving project design/development and cross-project common design policies. Employment is full-time (正社員) in Shinagawa, Tokyo, with remote possible. The posting is bilingual Japanese and English.
