Requisition Summary

We are a tight knit team of engineers that value collaboration and results. We are looking for an ambitious, enthusiastic, and self-directed Senior Software Engineer to complement our unique skillsets. If you have a proven track record of excellence, come join us!

Your main responsibility will be to write, maintain, and deploy code for our vehicle-technologies such as telematics, sensor data, and system architectures. This will include both hands-on technical work as well as the guidance and supervision of external resources. To make this happen, you need to be a utility player who understands version control, defect management, documentation, and software best practices for production code deployment. You’ll write software for both the truck and in the cloud, so you need to understand partitioning, offloading, and edge computing.

This is a unique role with great visibility within PACCAR. If you are the right candidate, it would position you well to become a thought-leader for modern software practices within PACCAR. Because we are an innovation center, we are able to move quickly and try a lot of different approaches. In addition, we’ve built strong relationships with PACCAR groups around the world, which provides nice opportunities for collaboration and learning.
