Hey Aurora folks how is life there? Got reached out for an embedded sw engineering role. How is the culture after uber ATG integration? Recruiter told me now they are giving RSU instead of options. Any insight is appreciated#semiconductor #hardware #aurora #embedded #firmware
Hw team is still in a mess post atg merger...Too many heads and duplicate roles exist...Have to wait and see if leadership can solve it soon
What was the point of the ATG acquisition? And where is the funding coming from to pay ATG head count?
Q at aa W
Any program or productmanager roles at Aurora based in Seattle? I work in the automotive embedded space and would like to take on managerial roles..
The Seattle office is a bit small- mostly localization team folks who joined with ATG. That said, most software teams are flexible on office. Mine has folks in Pitt, Montana, SF and Silicon Valley. Lots of opportunities for Video Chat meetings :)
Not in embedded but great people here
Seattle has some sw teams but not hw embedded i think

Embedded is harder work for less TC. You have to work with highly constrained hardware, debugging is at least 5x harder, and the opportunities are far less. I am not saying embedded engineering is easy, it is just that you don't get rewarded for it. Most of these automotive companies pretending to be high tech will eventually meet the reality of automotive industry. It is crap low margin work. The moment the economy turns, they'll be the new dot coms. FAANGMULAs or whatever you want to call them have monopolies in their respective domains. Cars have intense competition and drivers are cheap. Nobody needs autonomous cars and we won't see them deployed in mass anytime soon. But hey, lots of money going around these days so enjoy it while you can.
So true, I’m trying to get out of embedded
Avoid embedded
Why so?
Avoid embedded in general, or avoid embedded at Aurora?
