Full Job Description
About the Role:
We are looking for strong software engineers with motion planning experience to help develop and deploy motion planning components for autonomous trucks. In this role, you will work across all stages of the development lifecycle to design, implement, test, and evaluate new features and feature improvements which directly impact the self-driving system's on-road performance. Our team is small, and our focus is on building a product. In this role, you will own complex technical challenges end-to-end: framing ambiguous vehicle behaviors, negotiating interfaces with upstream and downstream teams to keep the overall architecture simple, and delivering high-performance modern C++ that operates on compute-constrained platforms.
Responsibilities:
Own delivery of motion planning features from design to integration in order to solve on-vehicle problems and deliver for customer needs - meeting product requirements and meeting the needs of the planning system, providing a safe, smooth trajectory for the system to follow.
Help shape long-term architecture and roadmap while ensuring timely delivery of features.
Work closely with systems engineers to ensure a safe, well tested product is delivered.
Write clean, maintainable, and high-performance software, using modern C++ and Python.
Work closely with other Autonomy teams (Trajectory Generation, Trajectory Evaluation, World Fusion, Prediction, Perception, Localization, Mapping, ...) to design and deploy robust solutions, encompassing all aspects of autonomous driving.
Work closely with verification teams to ensure proper testing and validation of the motion planning modules. Make extensive use of unit testing, simulation, and log simulation.
Be involved in design and iteration exercises, and help to align stakeholders by using strong presentation and communication skills.
Qualifications:
Strong C++ & Python skills, particularly in resource-constrained environments.
Exceptional written and verbal communications skills.
Experience developing code for real-world robotics/semi-autonomous platforms.
An eagerness to work across the decision making stack, even on components that may not perfectly align with past experience.
