Stack is developing revolutionary AI and advanced autonomous systems designed to enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency of modern operations in the trucking transportation industry. The Vehicle Behaviors team is responsible for improving the decision-making capabilities and reliability of the AV in real world scenarios.
Requirements
- Classical planning techniques such as graph/tree-search, ranking, or optimization that can operate in a high-degree of uncertainty
- Developing cost functions or other algorithms for collision avoidance, ride quality, or adherence to traffic laws/regulations
- Integrating ML-based planning techniques side-by-side with heuristic approaches in production
- Strong C++ & Python skills, particularly in resource-constrained environments
- Experience developing code for real-world robotics/semi-autonomous platforms
- An eagerness to work across the decision making stack, even on components that may not perfectly align with past experience
Responsibilities
- Own delivery of motion planning modules that solve on-vehicle problems and deliver for customer needs - meeting product requirements and meeting the needs of the controls system, providing a safe, smooth trajectory for the system to follow.
- Provide input in the technical direction for the team, and work cross-functionally to develop safe systems.
- Work closely with systems engineers to ensure a safe, well tested product is delivered.
- Work closely with verification teams to ensure proper testing and validation of the motion planning modules.
- Collaborate with other autonomy teams including perception, localization, controls, etc. to ensure solutions are appropriate for real-world performance
- Identify bottlenecks and limitations in system performance, and develop novel motion planning components to unlock new capabilities and ensure a reliable system.
- Be involved in experimentation, design and iteration exercises, and help to align stakeholders by using strong presentation and communication skills.
Other
- Exceptional written and verbal communications skills
- Candidates should have a mission-driven mindset and customer-centric obsession to deliver a compelling product, and be able to work with significant cross-functional interactions.
- We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We believe that diverse teams produce the best ideas and outcomes. We are committed to building a culture of inclusion, entrepreneurship, and innovation across gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and identity.
