About the role
- Own delivery of motion planning modules that solve on-vehicle problems and deliver for customer needs - meeting product requirements and meeting the needs of the controls system, providing a safe, smooth trajectory for the system to follow.
- Provide input in the technical direction for the team, and work cross-functionally to develop safe systems. This will include working closely with other teams such as perception, localization, and controls to ensure that the input to the motion planning modules is appropriate.
- Work closely with systems engineers to ensure a safe, well tested product is delivered.
- 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 to properly validate their work.
- Collaborate with other autonomy teams including perception, localization, controls, etc. to ensure solutions are appropriate for real-world performance.
- Provide input to team roadmaps and ensure product features are properly prioritized.
- Identify bottlenecks and limitations in system performance, and develop novel motion planning components to unlock new capabilities and ensure a reliable system.
- Be involved in experimentation, design and iteration exercises, and help to align stakeholders by using strong presentation and communication skills.
Requirements
- 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.
Benefits
- We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
