Requirements

MS/PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
Expertise in areas such as path planning, motion planning, trajectory generation, behavior planning, optimal control, etc.
Experience in optimizing performance through efficient processing, visualization, and analysis of large datasets
Strong software development skills and proficiency with Python
Experience developing mixed-integer-linear programs (MILP) optimizations
Experience with multi-agent-pathfinding (MAPF), multi-agent-pickup-and-delivery (MAPD), or task-assignment-and-pathfinding (TAPF) algorithms
Preferred Qualifications: Experience implementing controllers and planners for fleets of real-time safety-critical mobile autonomous systems
Experience with simulation environments and developing kinematic/dynamic models for autonomous vehicles, robots, etc.
Knowledge of nonlinear optimization and search-based planning techniques
Experience with optimization software such as Gurobi or COIN-OR
Excellent problem-solving abilities with a proactive approach in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
A Final Note: You’re encouraged to apply even if you can’t take on every example project in its totality. We work closely and collaboratively at Mytra - No one takes on projects alone. We seek people who are eager to work together, learn new things, and bring unique perspectives.
