• Leverage internal engineering teams to deliver capability beyond current platforms.
• Partner with external teams on interfacing requirements.
• Lead teams that architect, design and implement navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness systems.
• Drive development of sensor suites, perception algorithms, planning algorithms, and test fixtures.
• Perform high impact IC work in architecture and implementation across the perception and planning stack.
• Utilize computer vision, sensor fusion, and machine learning to enhance capabilities.
• Conduct testing and validation of algorithms through simulation and real-world data analysis.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including software, mechanical, and systems engineers.
• Travel to co-locate with end-users and/or other teams up to 20% of the time.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience
• Experienced and proficient in C++ and/or Python software development
• Familiarity with autonomous vehicle hardware and sensors such as radar, sonar, LIDAR, and cameras
• Demonstrated knowledge of at least one of: computer vision, sensor fusion, SLAM, motion planning, machine learning
• Experience in a senior perception or planning role for the delivery of a robotic system
• Capacity to act as the technical owner for a system, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team co-ordination, design, implementation, sustainment and evolutio
