[Remote] Senior Motion Planning Engineer at Motional

The Senior Motion Planning Engineer will lead research and development of novel motion planning algorithms for autonomous driving, including advanced search-based, geometry-based, and decision-making under uncertainty methods with a focus on probabilistic approaches. They will architect and integrate motion planning and prediction algorithms, driving their evaluation and refinement for real-world deployment. Responsibilities include designing and building a robust, scalable, high-performance codebase for rapid prototyping and evaluation of motion planning approaches. The role involves driving technical collaboration with upstream and downstream system components to ensure end-to-end performance. Additionally, the engineer will mentor junior team members and foster a culture of technical excellence and product-focused engineering.
