Senior Software Engineer, Behavior Prediction- Planning

Job description

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to improve behavior prediction for autonomous driving. In this role, you will work on how our autonomy system predicts the behavior, intent, and future motion of other road users, and how those predictions are used by the planning system to make safe, comfortable, and effective decisions.

This role is ideal for someone with deep experience in autonomous vehicle prediction, trajectory prediction, behavior modeling, or actor intent understanding. You will work closely with Planning and ML engineers to improve prediction quality, model integration, evaluation, and downstream planning behavior.

This is not only an ML integration role.

Job responsibilities

  • Own prediction improvements within the Planning team. Advance prediction models and collaborate closely with ML teams on learned prediction models, model outputs, uncertainty, and failure modes.
  • Improve prediction-planning interfaces, including confidence, uncertainty, intent representation, and fallback behavior.
  • Collaborate on projects that improve planning behavior in scenarios where actor intent is uncertain or changing.
  • Define metrics and evaluation frameworks for prediction quality as it relates to planning behavior. Analyze prediction-related planning failures using logs, simulation, metrics, and scenario-based evaluation.
  • Lead technical projects and mentor junior engineers.
