Engineering Manager - Behavior

Responsibilities

• Drive the overall strategy, technical roadmap, and architecture for behavior planning dedicated to L2 and L4 autonomous vehicles for cars, trucks, mining & construction, and offroad.
• Guide the design and implementation of robust, safety-critical algorithms for various driving domains, including urban streets, highways, dirt roads, and diverse environmental conditions.
• Grow and manage a team of world class engineers in the field of behavior systems.
• Evolve the architecture to achieve the final goal of an L4 end-to-end stack.
• Work cross functionally with other teams, including Perception, Research, Simulation, and Vehicle Operations, to ensure the robust and efficient integration of the behavior software stack.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in robotics or autonomous systems, with a focus on behavior systems.
• Experience in two or more of the following: behavior planning, decision making under uncertainty, path planning, motion planning, probabilistic reasoning, prediction, machine learning, trajectory generation, mapless driving, end-to-end autonomy stack.
• Demonstrated ability to architect large-scale, production software for real-world robotic or automotive systems.
• Proven leadership experience managing engineering teams, setting goals, and overseeing technical projects.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills.

Nice to Haves

• Direct experience working in end-to-end autonomy.
• Hands-on experience building ML-driven and rule-based behavior planning (and their interplay), intent detection, or risk assessment modules.
• Demonstrated success in applying machine learning and AI processes to complex decision-making frameworks for autonomous vehicles.
