Software Engineer Low Speed Motion Planning & Control Planning

Applied Intuition is powering the future of physical AI. They are looking for bright engineers to design motion planning and controls modules for autonomous vehicles. The role involves building out capabilities of an autonomous vehicle stack and interacting closely with customers.

• Design and implement motion planning and controls modules that can be deployed on various vehicle platforms, enabling them for highly accurate autonomous navigation in tight scenarios
• Characterize the dynamics of our customers’ vehicles to create tailored controls solutions and to reduce the gap between simulation and real-world dynamics
• Evaluate and utilize academic research to create optimal-control-based solutions using techniques like nonlinear MPC and MPPI control

• Passion about tackling challenging motion planning or motion control problems
• 3+ years of experience building production software using modern software practices
• Hands-on experience testing controls solutions on real, production-grade vehicles
• Fluency in control theory, numerical optimization, numerical analysis, and physics
• Enthusiasm for coming up with practical solutions to cutting-edge challenges in a fast-paced environment
• Experience writing high-performance C++ code
• Nice to have: MSc or PhD in mechanical engineering or computer science with coursework or research experience in motion planning or controls
• Nice to have: Experience writing software that is compliant with guidelines for safety-critical C++ code, such as MISRA and AUTOSAR
• Nice to have: Experience using quadratic programming solvers or nonlinear optimization tools
• Nice to have: Experience applying machine learning techniques to vehicle dynamics modeling
• Nice to have: Experience working both with large industrial / commercial vehicles, as well as passenger cars

• 30 days of paid vacation per year
