Latitude AI ( lat.ai ) is an automated driving technology company developing a hands-free, eyes-off driver assist system for next-generation Ford vehicles at scale. We’re driven by the opportunity to reimagine what it’s like to drive and make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone.
When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering –
all dedicated to making a real, positive impact on the driving experience for millions of people.
As a Ford Motor Company subsidiary, we operate independently to develop automated driving technology at the speed of a technology startup. Latitude is headquartered in Pittsburgh with engineering centers in Dearborn, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif.
Meet the team:
The Platform Systems, Integration, and Test Team at Latitude is responsible for the design, integration, and testing of all interface functions between the self-driving technology and robotics platform. These functions include motion control, fault handling, HMI, and controls integration, along with the overall vehicle architecture. We specialize in parallelized development of prototype functionality and production designs, enabling all of Latitude to rapidly develop feature intent functionality without incurring significant technical debt.

Define the interfaces between the Latitude autonomy system and the Ford vehicle platform, and integrate them into architectures across multiple vehicle platforms and feature sets - this includes handling:
System engagement and mode arbitration
Motion and HMI controls
Physical and communication dependencies

Work closely with Latitude and Ford systems engineers to integrate their system and subsystems designs into the functional architecture
Work closely with software and hardware leads to integrate component-level designs into the platform architecture
Periodically get hands-on with the product and see the system in action
