Software Engineer II

We are seeking senior or staff software engineers to join our planning team to build motion planning and decision-making systems and help mature new products all the way through to production.  Our planning team calculates safe paths for the autonomous vehicle to follow using mapping data, localization data, waypoints, and predicted actors around the vehicle. Your contribution will improve planning for emergency situations and planning for complicated maneuvers such as loading dock access and variable lane changes. 

• Design, build, and test the algorithms for motion and behavior planning for autonomous
  driving on urban roads and highways.
• Provide end-to-end ownership of the path planning and decision-making systems, ensuring
  that the behavior of Gatik’s vehicles is safe, smooth, and predictable to other road users.
• Build tools that prioritize and debug issues and contribute to the development of simulation
  architecture to enable Gatik’s software stack to be trained, tested, prototyped, and
  validated in a virtual environment.
• Develop a thorough understanding of the constraints and challenges of path planning for
  Gatik’s unique use case and ODD.
• Own the vehicle functions end to end, integrate the algorithms into Gatik’s software stack,
  and mature them to production quality.
• Automate scenario generation of on-road experiences using analytical and learned
  techniques

• A bachelor’s degree or its foreign equivalent in computer science, computer engineering, or a
  related field, plus 2 years of experience as a software developer, software engineer, or in a related
  role/occupation. The required prior experience must include:
• 2 years of experience designing and developing software using C++ and Python.
• 1 year of experience designing and implementing real-time on-device behavior and motion
  planning and control algorithms.
• 1 year of experience collaborating with other engineers on system integration and scaling
  up product deployment.
• 1 year of experience conducting code and design reviews.
