• Design and implement motion planning and controls modules for vehicle platforms
• Characterize vehicle dynamics and create tailored controls solutions
• Reduce the gap between simulation and real-world dynamics
• Evaluate academic research and create optimal-control-based solutions using nonlinear MPC and MPPI

Requirements

• Experience with motion planning or motion control problems
• Bachelor's, MSc, or PhD in mechanical engineering or computer science with relevant coursework or research
• 3+ years of production software experience using modern practices
• Experience testing controls solutions on production-grade vehicles
• Knowledge of control theory, numerical optimization, numerical analysis, and physics
• High-performance C++ experience

Benefits

• Equity
• Health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
• 401k retirement benefits with employer match
• Learning and wellness stipends
• Paid time off
