If you are an Internal Candidate, please apply via our Internal Job Board. About the Role: We are looking for strong software engineers with motion planning experience to help develop and deploy motion planning components for autonomous trucks. In this role, you will work across all stages of the development lifecycle to design, implement, test, and evaluate new features and feature improvements which directly impact the self-driving system’s on-road performance. Our team is small, and our focus is on building a product. In this role, you will own complex technical challenges end-to-end: framing ambiguous vehicle behaviors, negotiating interfaces with upstream and downstream teams to keep the overall architecture simple, and delivering high-performance modern C++ that operates on compute-constrained platforms. Responsibilities: Own delivery of motion planning features from design to integration in order to solve on-vehicle problems and deliver for customer needs - meeting product requirements and meeting the needs of the planning system, providing a safe, smooth trajectory for the system to follow. Help shape long-term architecture and roadmap while ensuring timely delivery of features. Work closely with systems engineers to ensure a safe, well tested product is delivered. Write clean, maintainable, and high-performance software, using modern C++ and Python. Work closely with other Autonomy teams (Trajectory Generation, Trajectory Evaluation, World Fusion, Prediction, Perception, Localization, Mapping, ...) to design and deploy robust solutions, encompassing all aspects of autonomous driving. Work closely with verification teams to ensure proper testing and validation of the motion planning modules. Make extensive use of unit testing, simulation, and log simulation. Be involved in design and iteration exercises, and help to align stakeholders by using strong presentation and communication skills. Qualifications: Strong C++ & Python skills, particularly in resource-constrained environments. Exceptional written and verbal communications skills. Experience developing code for real-world robotics/semi-autonomous platforms. An eagerness to work across the decision making stack, even on components that may not perfectly align with past experience. #LI-AW1 We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.

With decades of experience creating and deploying real world systems for demanding environments, the Stack team is dedicated to developing an autonomous solution ecosystem tailored to the trucking industry's unique demands. About the Role: In the AI Data Infrastructure team, our mission is to provide trusted and useful data to efficiently power all of Autonomy development. We work hand in hand with AV engineers to provide cutting edge solutions to all their data needs, working across data engineering, ML modeling, ML infrastructure as well as data introspection & visualization domains. In particular, we provide services to ingest, process, curate, annotate, serve and visualize data for AV ML needs. The ability to effectively search, visualize, inspect and analyze the above data is critical to StackAV product development. To achieve this mission, we invested into a suite of introspection tools used company-wide on the daily basis across a variety of customer personas - from powering daily workflows of autonomy engineers to enabling executive leaders to assess AV performance against strict safety benchmarks. Responsibilities: Partner with XFN stakeholders across Product, Design and Engineering to define a vision for a state-of-the art AV data introspection software, along with a pragmatic implementation roadmap that accelerates AV product development while maintaining exceptional focus on safety. Deliver the above roadmap while setting a high bar for engineering excellence within the team. Discover key issues in existing tools across each customer persona and proactively address those gaps. Drive technical discussions to deliver solutions on a timely basis. Evangelize technical solutions across the company to maximize business impact. Qualifications: 3+ years of experience of driving full-stack development with large-scale diverse data (video, audio, sensor data, text, etc). Experience building modern full-stack solutions using React, TypeScript, Go, Python, etc. for a large number of customer teams and collaborating effectively across multi-functional teams. Solid understanding of data storage architectures and associated serving trade-offs, including SQL and No-SQL solutions. Proven track record of building scalable, reliable full-stack solutions in a fast-paced environment. Deep understanding of design trade-offs with the ability to articulate those trade-offs and achieve alignment with others.
