Requirements
Candidates should possess experience in motion planning and controls, along with knowledge of low-level controllers, state estimators, and state-machine logic. Familiarity with vehicle platform sensors and actuators, trajectory interface design, and test/analysis tooling is required, as is experience with dynamic simulation environments and an understanding of performance, comfort, and safety metrics. Experience with optimization and machine learning frameworks is desirable, and the ability to conduct root-cause analysis of vehicle events is also necessary. Willingness to travel for in-person vehicle testing is expected.
Responsibilities
The Senior Motion Planning and Controls Engineer will design, implement, and test low-level controllers, state estimators, and state-machine logic to interface with vehicle sensors and actuators, develop and integrate trajectory interface design, create test/analysis tooling for evaluating motion tracking performance, architect and implement dynamic simulation environments, define and implement performance metrics, formulate and test optimization and machine learning frameworks, and support root-cause analysis of vehicle events while traveling for in-person vehicle testing.
