Software Engineer-Robot Motion Planning

Software Engineer – Autonomous Systems (Motion Planning)
 

We are currently recruiting for a fast-moving, innovative startup on a mission to transform the way people and goods move through cities. Our focus lies in developing next-generation autonomous vehicles, including self-driving taxis and delivery robots. With active production in the US and Japan, our robotics division is rapidly expanding. We’re a compact, elite team of engineers working at the forefront of robotics and AI, where every contribution directly influences real-world deployments.

• Build and enhance behavior modules responsible for the robot's navigation, ensuring safe, socially aware, and predictable interactions with pedestrians and vehicles.

• Address complex, open-ended real-world scenarios by translating them into structured engineering problems.

• Develop robust algorithms and tools to navigate narrow spaces, merge lanes, and manage noisy or incomplete data.

• Implement evaluation frameworks to measure system performance, reliability, and robustness across various operating environments.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to continuously improve the development lifecycle.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Machine Learning, or a related technical field.

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience with C++, with an emphasis on performance-critical applications.

• Proven track record of writing clean, efficient, and scalable code.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally.

• Master’s degree in a relevant technical discipline.

• Experience with robotic motion planning or related algorithm development.

• Exposure to machine learning systems and performance evaluation.

• Proficiency in Python and build systems like Bazel.
