Who are we?
Oxa is enabling the transition to self-driving vehicles through an initial focus on the most commercially advanced sector; the autonomous shuttling of goods and people.We are home to some of the world’s leading experts on autonomous vehicles, creating solutions such as Oxa Driver, equipping vehicles with full self-driving functionality; Oxa MetaDriver, using Generative AI to accelerate and assure the safety of deployments; and Oxa Hub, a set of cloud-based offerings for autonomous fleet management. Our technology is being deployed across the UK and the U.S, and we’re partnering with a fast-growing ecosystem of operators, vehicle OEMs and equipment makers serving autonomous transportation globally as it advances.
Based in Oxford, and with offices in Canada and the U.S, Oxa was founded in 2014 and is growing rapidly (350+ ‘Oxbots’ to date). Our purpose is to change the way the Earth moves, through an uncompromising focus on safety, efficiency and explainability of our AI approaches. The company has attracted $225 million from leading investors so far, with $140 million raised in the last Series C funding round in January 2023.
Your Team:
Joining our Reference Platform Stream you will be focused on developing a scalable, buildable, and production-quality set of platforms that are both robust and safety compliant.
The platform development includes hardware device selection and integration, to software performance, optimization and release. This Stream will provide the platforms necessary to ensure that our software is always buildable, deployable, and performs on production-level hardware, with an eye towards the next generation compute and sensor solutions. The Stream aims at supporting an AV platform with a smart brain (high performance), sensitive neurons (sensor quality), quick reaction (low latency), healthy body (high reliability), endurance (low energy), scalability (universal autonomy) and mass-production (low cost).
Your Role:
- Developing and validating high integrity software components.
- Developing monitors and diagnostic functions to achieve safety goals and system robustness.
- Maintaining ISO26262 software compliance process.
- Developing system and software requirements to achieve safety compliance and system robustness.
- Maintaining and updating sensor drivers, with a focus on applications on low-power embedded devices
- Designing and developing software diagnostic features to monitor sensor health (performance, degradation, fault detection). Developing system plugins to allow the autonomous system to make informed safety decisions on the basis of sensor health.
- Producing high-quality C++ code and actively contributing to peer coding reviews.
- Designing low level software components in C++ and C
- Supporting team members to improve sensor development quality.
- Working with stakeholders across the company to understand requirements and provide tools to support vehicle commissioning, calibration, synchronisation
Requirements
What you need to succeed:
- Recent experience in developing high integrity software.
- Knowledge of ISO26262 process, system engineering, software development and validation.
- Strong C++ / C programming skills
- A first class understanding of how to develop and debug performant C++/C software
- Experience with time synchronisation and calibration in robotics applications
- The ability to communicate clearly on technical matters and work well with multiple stakeholders across several teams
Extra kudos if you have:
- Experience in software development for embedded devices
- Able to optimise C++/C code for low-powered devices
- Knowledge of Automotive Basic Software development
The Candidate Journey: Multi-Step and Two-Way
No-one wants to feel like a square peg in a round hole, so this process is designed to give you every chance to get the measure of us, and us of you. The various stages give you every opportunity to show your unique strengths and qualities, and enables each of us to establish if we’re a good fit for the other. If the fit is good and you’re selected, you’re then in a position to do great work and thrive, which is what everyone wants.
Benefits
We provide:
- Competitive salary, benchmarked against the market and reviewed annually
- Hybrid and/or flexible work arrangements
- An outstanding £3,000 flexible benefits including private medical insurance, critical illness coverage, life assurance, EAP, group income protection
- A salary exchange pension plan
- 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
- A pet-friendly office environment
- Safe assigned spaces for team members with individual and diverse needs
Our Culture
Diversity is a marathon not a sprint! It is a journey with no destination. We are on a mission to unlock the benefits of self-driving technology to every person and organisation on the planet. We are creating an environment where everyone, from any background, can do their best work which put simply is the right thing to do. We hire and nurture those we can learn from, valuing diversity and the innovation that this drives.
We apply a neuro inclusive lens to our recruitment process and want each potential Oxbot to enjoy the best experience possible for them.
