Human InterestFull Time
Expert & Leadership (9+ years)
Candidates must possess a Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field, with at least 2 years of experience shipping production software in mapping and localization. Strong C++ software engineering and algorithm skills in a Unix environment are essential, along with a deep understanding of SLAM, particularly state-of-the-art visual and visual-inertial SLAM. Proficiency in nonlinear optimization and numerical linear algebra, strong problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to learn are required. Excellent communication and collaboration skills are also necessary.
The Senior Engineer - SLAM will design and develop cutting-edge systems and software for autonomous driving efforts, focusing on architecting and developing next-generation mapping and localization solutions. Responsibilities include solving complex challenges in large-scale mapping and localization using state-of-the-art methods, driving innovation to scale production maps, and developing and deploying scalable and efficient onboard and offboard software. Collaboration with experts across autonomy, including perception, motion planning, and controls, is expected, with a paramount focus on prioritizing safety in all software design and implementation.
Develops fully driverless robotaxis for urban transport
Motional develops fully driverless vehicles, specifically robotaxis, aimed at transforming urban transportation. Their all-electric robotaxis are designed to navigate complex city environments safely and efficiently. Motional partners with ride-hailing and delivery services, providing them with advanced autonomous vehicle technology to enhance their operations and reduce costs. A unique aspect of Motional's service is its Command Center, which allows for real-time tracking of each robotaxi, enabling human agents to monitor performance and ensure passenger safety. Unlike many competitors, Motional focuses on integrating its vehicles into existing mobility networks, making driverless technology accessible and reliable. The company's goal is to make autonomous vehicles a safe and integral part of urban transportation.
