Senior Localization and Planning Engineer - Autonomous Vehicles

Navigation maps are an essential piece of autonomous driving systems, providing rich driving context, including road level and lane level information. In this role, you will work on localizing, perception-map association, and lane selection with navigation maps to enable advanced features for autonomous vehicles.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement systems using standard navigation maps (e.g., Google Maps) to help navigate the car along a route on a lane level.
• Ensure algorithms perform effectively across large-scale real-world and synthetic datasets in diverse environments.
• Write safe, highly efficient code in C++.
• Productize all software for real-world deployment to consumer cars, following automotive quality and safety standards (MISRA, ISO26262).

Requirements

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or related fields (or equivalent experience).
• 8+ years of proven experience.
• Strong algorithmic design background.
• Outstanding communication and teamwork skills, as this project requires both cross-team collaboration and work in a tightly-knit team.
• Meticulous craftsmanship of software in modern C++, using RAII and the best exception-safe coding practices.

Skills

• Prior industrial experience with navigation maps, online mapping, or lane planning.

We believe that realizing self-driving cars will be a defining contribution of our generation (e.g., traffic accidents cause ~1.25 million deaths per year worldwide). We have the funding and scale, but we need your help on our team.
