On-Vehicle Autonomy Planning & Prediction Engineer

Bot; Houston (TX); On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Bot Auto in Houston, TX is seeking an Algorithm Engineer for Autonomy Planning & Prediction. You will design and ship the algorithms that decide how our trucks move, spanning motion planning, learning-based prediction and planning, and online mapping, with end-to-end responsibility from framing to on-vehicle validation.

You will collaborate across perception, control, simulation, and operations to take features from design through validated release.

Qualifications

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2+ years building production algorithms in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or a comparable real-time system.
• Strong C++ and Python; comfortable owning performance-sensitive code that runs on-vehicle.
• Solid foundation in at least one of: motion planning and optimization, prediction/behavior modeling, or mapping.
• A track record of shipping algorithms that ran on real hardware or in production, not only in research or simulation.

Responsibilities

• Develop and improve motion planning and behavior algorithms for highway and surface-street driving.
• Build the learning-based pipeline for prediction and planning: data curation, model design and training, and integration on-vehicle.
• Advance online mapping and map-building, and the real-time map signals that planning consumes.
• Turn road and simulation cases into root-cause analysis, algorithmic fixes, and regression coverage that prevents recurrence.
• Collaborate across perception, control, simulation, and operations to take features from design through validated release.
