LinuxCareers; Boston (MA); Presencial; USD 172 000 - 229 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

Motional is a driverless technology company developing autonomous vehicles. The Senior Motion Planning Engineer will design algorithms, develop evasive maneuver planning capabilities, and validate safety-critical systems through simulation and real-world testing.

The role requires a Master’s or PhD in a relevant field, 3+ years of motion planning experience, strong C++ (C++17/20), Linux familiarity, and knowledge of optimization, planning, and collision modeling.

Qualificações

• Master’s or PhD in Control Theory, Robotics, CS, Applied Mathematics, or related field.
• 3+ years of motion planning and collision avoidance experience in an industrial setting.
• Strong C++17/20 programming skills for high-performance systems.
• Experience with trajectory generation, optimization, and multi-modal prediction.
• Familiarity with Linux-based operating systems.
• Knowledge of dynamic collision modeling, state machines, and multi-rate decision-making.

Responsabilidades

• Design, implement, and test algorithms for synthesizing and selecting trajectories to ensure AV behaviors comply with safety-critical requirements.
• Develop evasive maneuver planning algorithms in conjunction with low-level control systems to safely use full actuation capacity for collision avoidance.
• Evaluate multiple perception sensor modalities in identifying and responding to safety-critical scenarios.
• Construct test and analysis tooling for isolated and system-level evaluation of safety-layer components; select test parameters and analyze results.
• Define and implement performance, comfort, and safety metrics; perform quantitative analysis of fleet-wide vehicle data to validate improvements.
• Travel for in-person vehicle testing at deployment and test track locations, typically once every 4 to 6 months.
