Your position will involve the algorithm development of embedded ECU software for safety-critical applications such as steering control, brake control or throttle actuation. The development shall involve the model-based development of embedded software as well as preceding phases involving prototyping components. You will use your experience in the automotive series software development to create vehicle chassis control algorithms involving the software development itself, requirements drafting as well as integration of the software in various verification and validation steps. You will be responsible for drafting, designing, testing and triaging the algorithms throughout their whole life cycle.This role requires working onsite 5 days a week at our Mountain View, CA office.What You Will DoBuild and improve vehicle chassis control algorithms for embedded ECU hardwareCreate functionally safe software by following common automotive standards for functional safetyDesign vehicle control software on rapid prototyping toolchains, test algorithms on bench setups, HiL systems and vehicle platforms, and draft requirements for your algorithmsEnsure software maturity and traceability with professional documentation and collaboration with requirements engineersCreate and track software release plans as well as testing activities to achieve continuous integration of software products in vehicle and field testingWhat We’re Looking ForMaster’s degree in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics or similar, ideally with focus on automotive engineering5+ years of experience in designing electrical systems for automotive platformsDemonstrated ability to develop and implement full time critical systemsCompetency in vehicle algorithm design such as vehicle-related control algorithms, state machine designHigh proficiency in model-based software engineeringDemonstrated ability to meet ambitious timelines with critical deliverablesExperience with standards and practices such as ISO26262, MISRA-C and AUTOSARFamiliarity with automotive embedded systems. Experience with CAN, LIN analysis, and debugging tools (PCAN, CANalyzer, CANape, etc.)Familiarity with rapid prototyping hardware such as dSpace Autobox and accompanying software such as ControlDeskMore about GatikFounded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy. By choosing the middle mile – with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik’s well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.Visit us at Gatik for more company information and Careers at Gatik for more open roles.Seniority levelSeniority levelMid-Senior levelEmployment typeEmployment typeFull-timeJob functionIndustriesSoftware DevelopmentReferrals increase your chances of interviewing at Gatik by 2xInferred from the description for this jobMedical insuranceVision insurance401(k)Get notified when a new job is posted.Sign in to set job alerts for “Vehicle Engineer” roles.Assistant Chief Engineer, Future Vehicle ProgramsInternship, Manufacturing Engineer, Vehicle Engineering (Fall 2025)Manufacturing Engineer II, Powertrain/DFMField Reliability Engineer, Motor GearboxInternship, Mechanical Design Engineer, Vehicle Engineering (Fall 2025)Reliability Engineer, Chassis Systems, SemiSr. Vehicle Integration Engineer, Vehicle IntegrationAutonomous Vehicle Infrastructure EngineerVehicle Controls Calibration Engineer, DrivabilityMechanical Design Engineer, Vehicle Body StructuresAutonomous Vehicle Infrastructure EngineerThermal Controls Engineer, Vehicle ControlsSr. Vehicle Development Engineer, Vehicle TestStaff Dimensional Engineer, Vehicle IntegrationAutonomous Vehicle Triage Engineer (Mountain View)We’re unlocking community knowledge in a new way.
