Motion Planning Engineer

What you'll do

• Build and integrate software and algorithms for path planning, behavioral planning, and vehicle control.
• Develop, implement, evaluate, and launch robotic motion-planning algorithms and vehicle models and kinematics.

What they ask for

• BS/MS/PhD in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science or Computer Engineering).
• Skill in numerical optimization techniques (e.g., nonlinear constrained optimization), or skill in AI or Robotics.
• Ability to produce computationally efficient software that meets real-time requirements.
• 3+ years experience in motion planning, AI, or autonomy for real-world applications.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience in robotic and/or vehicle system design and implementation; knowledge of ROS and Linux.
• Experience in automotive or aerospace environments, safety-critical code, SLAM/probabilistic filtering, reinforcement learning, or real-time sensor fusion.
