Software Engineer (Planning)
Posted Updated
- We are looking for a software engineer with expertise in motion planning for autonomous vehicles or mobile robots
- Mong your responsibilities will be the development of planning modules that can provide traversable, kinematically-feasible trajectories for a vehicle to follow in various onroad autonomy use cases
- The modules you develop must be high performance and state-of-the-art due to critical timing constraints and the need to generalize in diverse ODDs (operational design domains)
- In addition to your engineering contributions, by working in our dynamic and customer-focused team culture, you will contribute to and learn from best practices in the nascent autonomy industry
- We move fast and focus on excellence, for our products and for our business. If you are hands-on and looking for a place to have a multiplying effect on making autonomous systems a reality, Applied Intuition is the place for you!
- Develop state-of-the-art onroad behavior software and leverage ML components to achieve highway and city driving
- Design and implement planning modules that can be deployed on onroad vehicles for autonomous navigation
- Leverage lightweight map data (SD maps) and the outputs of a perception system to determine driving costs to use for planning
- Deploy your planning modules to production hardware and test on the road
- Collaborate with customers’ engineers and manage customer relationships
- Experience shipping code for robotics or autonomous vehicles
- Experience developing planning solutions for autonomous vehicles or other mobile robots
- Enthusiasm for coming up with practical solutions to cutting-edge challenges in a fast-paced environment, and building towards an end-to-end strategy
- A passion for tackling challenging planning problems involving a wide array of vehicles
- Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related field
- Fluency in writing modern, high-performance C++ code
- 3+ years of experience building production software using modern software practices
- Don’t meet every single requirement? If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles
- A MSc or PhD in computer science or applied mathematics with coursework or research experience in planning
- Experience writing safety-critical C++ software
- Hands-on experience developing and testing planning algorithms on an autonomous vehicle
