Latitude AI (lat.ai) is building the future of Ford’s autonomy roadmap to make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone. Bringing this vision to scale, our fully in-house developed hands-free ADAS platform will debut on Ford’s all-new Universal Electric Vehicle in 2027.
When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering – all dedicated to redefining the relationship between people and their vehicles for millions of customers.
As a Ford Motor Company subsidiary, we operate independently to develop automated driving technology at the speed of a technology startup. Latitude is headquartered in Pittsburgh with engineering centers in Dearborn, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif.
Meet the team:
We're searching for a Senior Software Engineer to come and join the Runtime Infrastructure Frameworks (RIF) team at Latitude AI. As a member of the RIF team, you will be responsible for designing, delivering, and maintaining the software frameworks upon which our advanced driver assist system is built. You will collaborate with systems engineering, autonomy (localization, perception, planning, controls), the onboard platform team, and project management to ensure autonomy applications integrate seamlessly with each other and the underlying platform.
The RIF team develops the core execution and messaging frameworks that coordinate how our distributed ADAS system runs and communicates. Our frameworks encompass both real-time embedded and Linux operating systems, providing the interfaces by which hardware resources are accessed. We own a comprehensive build solution that provides a unified, static view of the system, and we own the services responsible for launching and orchestrating autonomy applications.
