JOB DESCRIPTION

We are looking for an experienced Staff Software Engineer who can design and build best-in-class planning systems for autonomous driving in structured, low-speed environments.

In this role, you'll be the technical backbone of the planning stack — owning the design and implementation of production-grade mission planning, behavior planning, and motion planning software. You'll work across the full planning pipeline to achieve category-defining vehicle autonomy for the airside, tackling hard problems in trajectory optimization, decision-making under uncertainty, and real-time constraint optimization.

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.

You Will:

- Design, implement, and iterate on the mission planner, behavior planner, and motion planner for autonomous ground support equipment operating in airport airside environments.

- Drive key technical decisions across the planning stack — selecting algorithms, defining interfaces, and establishing the architecture that the team builds on.

- Prototype and evaluate new planning approaches (e.g., optimization-based methods, search-based planners, learning-augmented pipelines) and bring the best ideas to production.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with perception, controls, localization, and systems engineering teams to deliver an integrated autonomous driving system.

- Establish and promote best practices in software development, functional safety, and systems engineering as they apply to the planning domain.

- Mentor other engineers through technical guidance, code review, and design discussions.

You Have:

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Math, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or a related field.

- Extensive hands-on experience designing and implementing planning modules for autonomous systems shipped to production or deployed in real-world operations.

- Strong programming skills in C++ (preferred) or Python, and experience with Linux-based operating systems.

- Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous technical problems and drive them to well-architected solutions independently.

- Excellent communication skills, proactiveness, and a strong sense of ownership.

We Prefer:

- MS or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field.

- Mastery of Modern C++ (14 and beyond) and safety-critical coding practices (e.g., MISRA, ISO 26262).

- 5+ years of industry experience in planning for robotic ground vehicles.

- In-depth understanding of DDS frameworks like ROS/ROS2 or other networking middleware.

- Experience in startup environments, demonstrating adaptability to rapidly changing priorities.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
