Staff Software Engineer, Autonomous Ground Planning

AeroVect; Paris; Sur place; EUR 90 000 - 130 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

AeroVect is seeking an experienced Staff Software Engineer to design and build planning systems for autonomous driving in structured, low-speed airport environments.

You will own the mission, behavior, and motion planners, drive architectural decisions across the planning stack, prototype new approaches, and collaborate with perception, controls, localization, and systems engineering to deliver an integrated autonomous system. You will mentor engineers and promote safety-focused practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Math, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or a related field.
• Extensive hands-on experience designing and implementing planning modules for autonomous systems shipped to production or deployed in real-world operations.
• Strong programming skills in C++ (preferred) or Python, and experience with Linux-based operating systems.
• Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous technical problems and drive them to well-architected solutions independently.
• Excellent communication skills, proactiveness, and a strong sense of ownership.

Responsabilités

• Design, implement, and iterate on the mission planner, behavior planner, and motion planner for autonomous ground support equipment operating in airport airside environments.
• Drive key technical decisions across the planning stack — selecting algorithms, defining interfaces, and establishing the architecture that the team builds on.
• Prototype and evaluate new planning approaches (e.g., optimization-based methods, search-based planners, learning-augmented pipelines) and bring the best ideas to production.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with perception, controls, localization, and systems engineering teams to deliver an integrated autonomous driving system.
• Establish and promote best practices in software development, functional safety, and systems engineering as they apply to the planning domain.
• Mentor other engineers through technical guidance, code review, and design discussions.
