Solve self driving cars while delivering shippable intermediaries.

We're building the robotics stack that will solve self driving cars, then eventually scales to all of robotics. We own our stack from shipping state of the art machine learning models trained on our own infrastructure, building the operating system, designing the hardware, and manufacturing it.

Today, our fleet is the second largest after Tesla, and it's growing every month as more of the 10+ million compatible cars on the road come online. We will win by continuing to ship a better product and better driving to our users. No hype, just shipping constant incremental progress until your comma reliably drives you to Taco Bell.

comma is 25 people across three teams:

The autonomy team builds the autonomous agent software, along with all of the infrastructure needed for that.

The product team designs and manufactures the product, including the hardware, low-level software needed to run the agent software, as well the app.

The operations team builds and maintains company infrastructure, including money, people, and logistics.

The operations and product teams work together to ship you the comma four, and the autonomy and product teams ship openpilot to run on your comma four.

  comma is a profitable consumer electronics business. For every dollar we make, half goes to building comma fours and half goes to engineering to improve the product.

  No advertising, MBAs, or agenda beyond solving self-driving cars.
  
            
              
            
          
    

  One meeting a week, two great meals a day, and people who have passed a very high bar to get hired.

  Perks:
  - Chef-prepared lunch and dinner
  - On-site gym and yoga studio
  - 24/7 access to the comma fleet of cars
  - Health, dental, and vision insurance
  - Flexible time off
    

Who we're looking for

  We don't care where, or even if, you went to school. We don't care if you have a traditional background. We're just looking for people who can independently contribute to shipping openpilot.

  We love a great GitHub, open source contributors, good projects, and competition winners.

  Prove your skills with either of these:
  1. Bounties: contribute to our open source projects while getting paid
  2. Challenges: we made challenges for design, controls, hardware, and more.
    

We're Actively Hiring

  Electronics Engineer
  Design + ship hardware like the comma four and comma body // challenge

  Supply Chain Engineer
  Own comma’s end-to-end hardware supply chain—from vendor sourcing and cost negotiation to purchase orders, receiving, and inventory // challenge: ops or hardware
  Chinese language skills are a plus.

  Software Engineer (Web)
  Own the comma web and mobile experience // challenge: get a web bounty merged
  Build an incredible companion app for openpilot

  Software Engineer (Systems)
  Work on systems and infrastructure for openpilot // challenge: get a bounty merged
  You'll work on things like mainlining our kernel, bringing up new hardware, and making the comma four boot up in 5s.

  Car Interface Engineer
  Work on growing openpilot's car compatibility alongside our community // challenge: get a bounty merged
  Functional safety experience is a plus

  Controls Engineer
  Work on steering, gas, and brake controls for the 300 different cars openpilot supports // challenge

  Autonomy Engineer
  Work on infrastructure to train autonomous agents // challenge

  Internship
  All teams accept interns year-round // challenge: get on the leaderboard or solve some bounties

  Pick & Place Operator
  Run the comma factory's circuit board line // Relevant experience required instead of a challenge

  Technician
  Maintain the comma compute cluster and comma fleet // Requirements: have built computers, good debugging skills, and detail orientedness
    

Applying

  1. Challenge
  Choose any of the challenges from the leaderboard or bounties, solve it, then reach into work@comma.ai.

  2. Phone screen
  Typically, we do two phone calls. A quick intro and screen, then an in-depth technical interview with an engineer.

  3. Paid Micro-internship
  We'll fly you out to meet the team and work on a real problem for a few days. In most cases, the project will be scoped such that you'll ship it to real users by the end.

  If all goes well, we'll make you a full-time job offer.
