The company

Azevtec (Autonomous, Zero-Emission Vehicle Technologies) is automating 'first-mile' trucking. We simplify how large enterprises ship goods—our robotic systems automate repetitive vehicle movement and manual tasks in the world’s busiest freight-shipping hubs to enhance operational performance, reduce costs, and improve safety.

Azevtec is a rapidly growing, Series-A company founded to drive the adoption of sustainable transportation and deploy autonomous vehicles responsibly.

The role

The Field Software Engineer will work primarily on software development and debugging/troubleshooting of the Azevtec autonomous vehicle system at customer deployment sites nationwide.

This role requires the ability to read and make minor modifications to C++ code and be proficient with the robot operating system (ROS). Sample tasks include querying ROS infrastructure to understand if components are executing and generating ROS data log files (aka "bags"). In addition, this role requires proficiency with the Linux operating system.

We're looking for someone with excellent software engineering skills and a passion for robotics and self-driving vehicles. The successful candidate will be responsible for helping build and support autonomous vehicle systems that redefine large enterprise supply chains and boast safe, error-free, and effective operational performance.
