About the Company

At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business.

A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.

Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.

Meet the team:    

The Release division plays a critical role in Torc’s product engineering and release lifecycle.  The Release division is responsible for ensuring safe and successful product delivery by working collaboratively across engineering divisions to sponsor and drive the release ecosystem.  The Release Management group leads the release lifecycle for engineering and product releases.  We will measure and monitor progress for on-time release delivery. 

 What you’ll do:  

A Release Manager leads the release lifecycle for engineering and product releases.  This includes performing release coordination, dynamic decision-making during release execution, monitoring and evaluating deliverables into release.  The release management team schedules regular agile-style release trains, oversees the impact analysis process, communicates required test activities, performs Git tagging and branching procedures, and records release artifacts.   

A successful candidate will have experience performing thought leadership, cross-function collaboration, and driving initiatives to implement and evolve release management processes.   A robust background in large-scale, safety-critical systems and/or software development processes within complex development systems is necessary to guide company engineering procedures. 

Responsibilities:

• Maintain a rapid engineering development schedule for self-driving software stack with consistent and managed releases, both internal and external to Torc. 

• Collaborate with Development teams, TPMs and PMO for planning, execution and delivery of releases 

• Communicate and coordinate feature deliveries, bug fixes, risks, release notes and change logs for software test and release candidates  

• Manage software branching strategies to support continuous integration along with release and patch branches supporting the product roadmap  

• Facilitate regular release trains with Git branching, software versioning, impact analysis process, pre-release software process and daily/weekly release meetings with Torc technology representatives. 

• Identify and report on release artifacts included in the Product Development lifecycle including requirements, architecture, design, hardware, software, test and verification deliverables. 


• Ensure the proper baseline identification of current and historical configuration items can be accurately determined throughout the product lifespan, perform periodic audits, and provide verification of configuration items release versioning.   

What you’ll need to succeed:    

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, or related technical field  

•  7+ years experience for software build, integration and test systems  

• Experience with complex embedded systems including ADAS technologies i.e. autonomous driving software architecture, sensors, networking, compute hardware, control systems 

• Experience with software release tools i.e. build systems, software versioning systems, defect management systems, source control etc. 

• Strong problem-solving / analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to learn in unstructured environments 

• Strong communication and collaboration skills enabling a positive energy and work environment 

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with evolving software/hardware infrastructure 


• Experience delivering production systems from early prototype phases through product launch and in-field maintenance.   

Bonus Points!  

• Experience testing autonomous vehicles, ROS based robotics systems or ADAS features 

• Configuration management of safety-critical systems, understanding of systems engineering and verification, validation methodologies. 

• Project management experience
