  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics or a related technical field
  • Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in machine learning, motion planning and controls, or AV simulation as an engineer or a TPM
  • Knowledge of autonomous vehicle software including perception, mapping/localization, and sensor fusion techniques
  • Preferred experience with autonomous vehicle system-level integration
  • Experience in fast-paced testing engineering environments, especially related to hardware, software and system-level testing
  • Strong written and oral communication skills, especially the ability to communicate complex engineering issues to a diverse global team.
  • Ability to work effectively and collaboratively in a fast-paced work environment across multiple time zones
