Responsibilities
- Design and implement behavioral planning logic for high-level vehicle actions such as lane changes, merges, yields, and interactions with other agents.
- Develop and optimize motion-planning algorithms integrating geometric path reasoning and velocity reasoning into cohesive trajectories.
- Architect systems for generating geometrically feasible paths and context-aware, comfortable, and safe velocity profiles.
- Model complex driving scenarios and agent interactions for the behavioral planner's world model.
- Design trajectory-ranking costs that balance ETA, comfort, and safety.
- Analyze, test, debug, and investigate root causes of system performance across varied scenarios.
- Collaborate with Prediction, Perception, and Control teams to connect environmental understanding with physical vehicle motion.
Requirements

- Experience in autonomous systems, robotics, or automotive software development.
- Strong proficiency in C++ and Python for complex, real-time algorithms.
- Understanding of robotics fundamentals, decision-making, motion planning, control theory, trajectory ranking, search, and optimization algorithms.
- Related experience in behavioral planning, motion planning, behavior and world-environment reasoning, or trajectory ranking and cost design.
- Preferred: PhD or internship experience related to robotics planning system design.
- Preferred: knowledge of vehicle dynamics and longitudinal and lateral control systems.
- Preferred: understanding of machine learning principles, reinforcement learning, and related algorithms.
Benefits
- Annual base salary range of $129,189-$214,776, plus bonus, equity, and benefits.
