About the Role
You will develop, tune, validate, and integrate vehicle control and trajectory-generation algorithms. You will maintain real-time C++ controls software, evaluate controller behavior through simulation and on-road testing, diagnose performance issues, and integrate controls with adjacent vehicle systems.
Requirements
- Control theory knowledge in optimization, model-predictive control, numerical methods, or dynamical systems
- Experience developing, tuning, and validating control or motion systems on physical systems
- Software engineering experience building reliable production-quality C++ systems
- Experience with latency-sensitive or real-time software
- Ability to debug system-level behavior in complex robotic software and hardware systems
- Experience with model-predictive control, trajectory optimization, or motion planning
- Experience with mobile robotics or autonomous vehicle systems
- Experience with automotive ADAS or vehicle controls
- Experience with safety-critical systems, validation, and ISO 26262
- Applied machine-learning experience or experience integrating with machine-learning components
Responsibilities
- Develop, integrate, tune, and validate control, trajectory-generation, and action-processing algorithms
- Maintain controls software architecture connecting AI outputs to vehicle actuation and feedback
- Implement and maintain latency-sensitive real-time C++ control software
- Use simulation, closed-loop evaluation, and on-road testing to validate improvements
- Define controller interfaces and integrate with adjacent systems
- Enable new vehicle platforms and product features
Benefits
- Competitive equity package
- Hybrid working arrangement
