Senior Software Engineer, Behavior Planning
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when there is real specific content.
We have content: company description (Who We Are) could be "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is about company, not role. Could be "About the role" maybe includes description of role. We'll decide: Use "About the role" for the paragraph describing the role responsibilities? But we also have separate "You Will" list (responsibilities) and "You Have" (requirements) and "We Prefer" (preferred qualifications). Also maybe "Skills" could combine.
We need to avoid boilerplate like cookie/navigation etc. There's none.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract:
Company description: "AeroVect is transforming ground handling with autonomy, redefining how airlines and ground service providers around the globe run day-to-day operations. We are a Series A company backed by top-tier venture capital investors in aviation and autonomous driving. Our customers include some of the world’s largest airlines and ground handling providers. For more information, visit www.aerovect.com."
Role description: "We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer who can design and build best-in-class behavior planning systems for autonomous driving in structured, low-speed environments. In this role, you'll own the design and implementation of key modules in the behavior planner — the decision-making layer that determines what the vehicle should do in complex, dynamic airside scenarios. You'll work at the intersection of mission-level goals and motion-level execution, tackling problems in multi-agent interaction modeling, rule-based and learned decision-making, and robust handling of edge cases unique to airport ground operations. This opportunity offers a deeply technical engineer the chance to shape a market-defining enterprise product that combines autonomous vehicle technology with a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. This role reports to our Planning Tech Lead and works closely with the autonomy engineering team."
Responsibilities (You Will):
- Develop and implement advanced behavior planning algorithms for autonomous vehicles
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure robust integration and functionality of planning systems
- Design, write, and maintain efficient and scalable code in C++ and Python
- Contribute to the architecture and continuous improvement of behavior planning software
- Conduct extensive testing in simulated environments and real-world scenarios to validate and refine behavior planning algorithms
- Analyze system performance and implement enhancements based on data and feedback
- Maintain comprehensive documentation of code, algorithms, and system designs
- Work closely with other engineering teams to ensure seamless coordination and development
Requirements (You Have):
- Proficient in modern C++ (11/14/17) and object-oriented programming
- Skilled in Python for rapid prototyping and testing
- Strong in debugging, profiling, and optimizing code
- Deep understanding of behavior planning algorithms such as state machines, behavior trees, and probabilistic planning
- Familiarity with path planning algorithms like A*, RRT, or optimization-based methods
- Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field
- Minimum of 3 years of industry experience in autonomous driving, robotics, or a related field
Preferred (We Prefer):
- Knowledge of state machines, behavior trees, and decision-making under uncertainty
- Expertise in path planning algorithms such as A*, D*, and Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT)
- Knowledge of machine learning techniques, especially in the context of behavior prediction and planning
- Experience with ROS / ROS2
- Implementing systems that can re-plan at high frequencies to adapt to dynamic changes in the environment
- Ensuring that behavior planning algorithms can execute with minimal latency for real-time navigation
- Proficiency in optimization techniques and probabilistic models for making informed planning decisions under uncertainty
- Master’s degree or PhD in Robotics, AI, Mathematics, or a related field with a focus on planning, optimization, or control theory is a plus
No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule mentioned. So we should not include those sections.
We need sections: About the role (maybe combine company description + role overview), Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills? Could also have Qualifications (maybe combine Requirements and Preferred). But we need to follow instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). We can choose which to include.
We have content for About the role (company + role description). Responsibilities (You Will). Requirements (You Have). Preferred could go under Qualifications or Skills. Could make a "Qualifications" section for required qualifications, and a "Skills" for preferred? But we already have Requirements (You Have) which includes education and experience; that's qualifications. Preferred could be "Preferred Qualifications" maybe under Qualifications as well. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Preferred into one "Qualifications" section with sublists? But instruction says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Could have two separate lists under same heading? Might be okay to have two
under same heading.
Better: Use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Preferred Qualifications. But Preferred Qualifications not in list of allowed headings but we can still use? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive; we could still use other headings? Safer to stick to those examples. So we can use "Qualifications" for both required and preferred, maybe split into two with headings inside? But we cannot add extra headings inside? Could use to label "Required:" and "Preferred:" inside the Qualifications section.
Similarly, Skills could be used for technical skills list. But we already have many skill-like items in Requirements and Preferred. Could put them under Skills.
Let's decide: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills.
- About the role: company description + role overview paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of You Will.
- Qualifications: list of You Have (education, experience) maybe also include preferred? But we can separate required vs preferred using
inside.
- Skills: list of technical skills (C++, Python, behavior planning, path planning, ML, ROS, optimization, etc.) from both You Have and We Prefer.
But we must preserve all substantive info; not lose any. So we need to ensure we include everything.
Let's extract all bullet points:
From You Have:
- Proficient in modern C++ (11/14/17) and object-oriented programming
- Skilled in Python for rapid prototyping and testing
- Strong in debugging, profiling, and optimizing code
- Deep understanding of behavior planning algorithms such as state machines, behavior trees, and probabilistic planning
- Familiarity with path planning algorithms like A*, RRT, or optimization-based methods
- Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field
- Minimum of 3 years of industry experience in autonomous driving, robotics, or a related field
From We Prefer:
- Knowledge of state machines, behavior trees, and decision-making under uncertainty
- Expertise in path planning algorithms such as A*, D*, and Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT)
- Knowledge of machine learning techniques, especially in the context of behavior prediction and planning
- Experience with ROS / ROS2
- Implementing systems that can re-plan at high frequencies to adapt to dynamic changes in the environment

- Proficiency in optimization techniques and probabilistic models for making informed planning decisions under uncertainty
- Master’s degree or PhD in Robotics, AI, Mathematics, or a related field with a focus on planning, optimization, or control theory is a plus
Note some overlap: state machines, behavior trees appear both. Path planning algorithms overlap. Optimization techniques appear both.
We can combine.
Now responsibilities list:
- Develop and implement advanced behavior planning algorithms for autonomous vehicles
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure robust integration and functionality of planning systems
- Design, write, and maintain efficient and scalable code in C++ and Python
- Contribute to the architecture and continuous improvement of behavior planning software
