We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer who can design and build best-in-class behavior planning systems for autonomous driving in structured, low-speed environments.

In this role, you'll own the design and implementation of key modules in the behavior planner — the decision-making layer that determines what the vehicle should do in complex, dynamic airside scenarios. You'll work at the intersection of mission-level goals and motion-level execution, tackling problems in multi-agent interaction modeling, rule-based and learned decision-making, and robust handling of edge cases unique to airport ground operations.

This opportunity offers a deeply technical engineer the chance to shape a market-defining enterprise product that combines autonomous vehicle technology with a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. This role reports to our Planning Tech Lead and works closely with the autonomy engineering team.

• Develop and implement advanced behavior planning algorithms for autonomous vehicles
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure robust integration and functionality of planning systems
• Design, write, and maintain efficient and scalable code in C++ and Python
• Contribute to the architecture and continuous improvement of behavior planning software
• Conduct extensive testing in simulated environments and real-world scenarios to validate and refine behavior planning algorithms
• Analyze system performance and implement enhancements based on data and feedback
• Maintain comprehensive documentation of code, algorithms, and system designs
• Work closely with other engineering teams to ensure seamless coordination and development
