### Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and maintain core C++ infrastructure used across Aeva’s software platforms.
  • Own architecture for large-scale, performance-critical systems with a focus on reliability, maintainability, and long-term scalability.
  • Lead development of foundational libraries, runtime components, data pipelines, APIs, SDK components, and system-level services.
  • Optimize software for latency, throughput, memory usage, concurrency, and CPU/GPU efficiency.
  • Drive technical decisions across teams and provide clear guidance on tradeoffs, design patterns, interfaces, and system boundaries.
  • Mentor senior and mid-level engineers through design reviews, code reviews, debugging sessions, and technical planning.
    • ### What you have
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field.
  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience in modern C++.
  • Strong systems programming background, including Linux development, networking, IPC, file I/O, process management, and performance debugging.
  • Experience building production-quality infrastructure used by multiple teams or products.
  • Ability to reason about latency, throughput, memory usage, cache behavior, and algorithmic complexity.
  • Strong debugging skills across application, system, and integration layers.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical decisions clearly.
    • ### Nice-to-have
  • Experience with SDKs, APIs, middleware, data streaming, visualization tools, or real-time data processing.
  • Experience with Bazel or similar modern build systems.
  • Experience with CUDA, GPU acceleration, SIMD, zero-copy data movement, or high-throughput data pipelines.
  • Experience with networking protocols, packet capture, serialization formats, and distributed systems.
  • Experience with safety-critical, automotive, or embedded software development.
