Job Description

You will...

• Contribute to the autonomy stack for self-driving initiatives by designing and building motion planning & controls software and algorithms, building the brain which orchestrates decision making in dynamic, uncertain and interactive traffic scenarios.
• Be part of a team of multidisciplinary Engineers and Research Scientists using an AI-first approach to enable safe self-driving at scale.
• Apply motion planning to handle complex scenarios e.g., merging into a highway and yielding to traffic participants.
• Participate and share ideas in technical and architecture discussions, collaborating with researchers and engineers to build a reliable autonomy stack for self-driving vehicles.

Qualifications:

• MS/PhD or Bachelors degree with a minimum of 2 years of industry experience in Computer Science, Robotics and/or similar technical field(s) of study.
• Experience in planning/decision making approaches (e.g., optimal control, optimization based approaches, search methods, probabilistic decision making).
• Solid coding proficiency in Python or C++.
• Some experience in reading and developing production quality software, versus only creating prototypes/proof of concepts.
• Ability to rapidly prototype and test new algorithms.
• Solid problem solving skills using linear algebra, geometry, statistics & probability.
• Open-minded and collaborative team player with the willingness to help others.
• Passionate about self-driving technologies, solving hard problems, and creating innovative solutions.

Bonus/nice to have:

• Excellent C++ production quality skills in a Linux or other Unix environment.
