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.
Your Team:
As a C++ Software Engineer you will join our Shield Control Team. Shield Control are one of the teams developing Safeguard, which acts as the final layer of defence for:
Collision avoidance
Handling component failures
In an ideal world, such a layer wouldn’t need to exist. However, in the real world, we have to be able to handle anything. For example:
an object falling out of the back of a moving vehicle ahead
a tyre bursting due to poor maintenance
a person running out from behind a parked car.

Working C++ knowledge
The ability to…
debug software faults
