Staff Software Engineer, Planner

Responsibilities

• Design and ship real-time behavior and motion planning features for complex urban/suburb driving scenarios. Especially motion planning and trajectory optimization for unstructured highly dynamic environments
• Lead automation of root-cause analysis and systematically eliminate planner-related disengagements and long-tail failures.
• Build scalable evaluation, simulation, and validation frameworks to ensure safe rollout to new geo-fenced regions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with perception, prediction, controls, and platform teams to deliver end-to-end autonomy improvements.
• Contribute to architecture decisions that improve planner robustness, generalization, and computational efficiency.
