What We're Looking for:

We are looking for people who are passionate about delivering self-driving (L4) products that make the way we move safer, faster, and more efficient. We seek mission-driven, highly skilled people with deep experience in fast-paced, rapidly growing, tech development environments. We are looking for strong software engineers at all levels to help in developing and deploying the motion control stack for next-generation self-driving systems. This requires strong ownership over critical components. Candidates need to understand, experiment, improve, and field state-of-the-art motion control components in real-time, safety-critical applications. We are focused on building a product. Candidates should have a mission-driven mindset to deliver a product, which entails significant cross-functional interaction, and a customer-centric obsession to deliver a compelling product.

What Success Looks Like:

• Be part of a team of engineers to develop state-of-the-art, robust motion control modules for self-driving vehicle systems.
• Own delivery of the motion control components that solve on-vehicle problems and deliver for customer needs - providing a well-controlled vehicle experience.
• Provide feedback on the technical direction for the team, and work cross-functionally to develop safe systems. This will include working closely with upstream teams, especially planning and localization, to ensure that the motion control modules fit well with the system.
• 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 control modules. Make extensive use of unit testing, simulation, and log simulation to properly validate their work.
• Spend time on the vehicles to experience in person the efforts being worked, and aid in tuning the control algorithms.
• Provide input to team roadmaps and ensure timely delivery of features.
• Develop motion control models for real time, resource constrained applications.
• Be involved in design and iteration exercises, and help to align stakeholders by using strong presentation and communication skills.
• Experience building motion control systems for real world applications with a strong understanding of the pros and cons of various motion control approaches.
• Knowledge and experience with real-time algorithms.
• Strong experience in software engineering and algorithm design.
• Fluent in C .
• Experience with Python.
