C++ Software Engineer – Motion Planning

Job description

Our team develops the core software and data processing systems that power motion planning and decision-making in autonomous vehicles. We work at the intersection of machine learning, large-scale data infrastructure, and real-time vehicle control, collaborating across engineering, analytics, and product teams to deliver safe and intelligent driving capabilities.

Job responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and optimize cutting-edge motion planning algorithms in modern C++ (C++17/20)
  • Develop robust solutions for trajectory generation, pathfinding, and behavioral decision-making in dynamic environments
  • Analyze and debug system performance using simulation, log playback, and on-vehicle testing data
  • Collaborate closely with engineers from Perception, Prediction, and Control teams to build a cohesive and reliable self-driving system
  • Write clean, maintainable, and optimized production-quality code
  • Profile and optimize algorithms to meet real-time performance constraints

Job requirements

  • Exceptional proficiency in modern C++ and a deep understanding of object-oriented design principles
  • Strong foundational knowledge of algorithms and data structures, particularly those relevant to robotics (e.g., graph search, computational geometry, optimization techniques)
  • Experience with software development tools and practices, including Git, CI/CD, and code reviews
