Senior Software Engineer - Motion Planning

While breadth is helpful, a depth of knowledge and application experience in a relevant Robotics/ Motion Planning subspecialty is most desirable.

Python programming experience is also helpful but not required

Industry experience writing production-quality, performance-critical code, and maintaining large codebases is desired

High-quality individual and family medical, dental, and vision insurance

Health savings account with available employer match

Design and develop algorithms in one or more areas of the Motion Planning stack, ranging from route planning, behavior planning, trajectory optimization, decision making, and machine learning

Extensively test your algorithms, through unit testing, simulation testing in the cloud, log playback and resim, and on vehicle testing

Develop tools for visualization and debugging, and use them to analyze logs from fleet testing

Analyze metrics from fleet testing to prioritize next steps

Coordinate with other autonomy teams to ensure that Motion Planning is provided the inputs it needs

The Latitude AI Motion Planning team brings all the components of the autonomy stack together. The Motion Planning team takes inputs from perception, prediction, and mapping and plans how to safely yet comfortably navigate complex driving scenarios. This involves routing to the desired destination, making high-level decisions with respect to driver input and other road users (including vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, etc.), and generating an optimal trajectory for the AV to execute.
