Requirements
Candidates should possess a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, and have at least 8 years of experience in motion planning and control, with a strong understanding of robotics and autonomous systems. Experience with low-level controller design, trajectory integration, and simulation environments is highly desirable.
Responsibilities
The Senior Motion Planning and Control Engineer will design and implement low-level controllers and state estimators, integrate trajectory generation and motion tracking controllers, develop test and analysis tooling for evaluating motion tracking performance, architect and implement dynamic simulation environments, define and implement performance metrics for motion planning and control, formulate and implement optimization and machine learning frameworks, and conduct root cause analysis of motion-related events. The role also requires travel to Motional’s and partner locations for in-person vehicle testing.
