About the role

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who wants their work driving real freight on public highways.

Develop and improve motion planning and behavior algorithms for highway and surface-street driving.
Advance online mapping and map-building, and the real-time map signals that planning consumes.
Collaborate across perception, control, simulation, and operations to take features from design through validated release.
You will design and ship the algorithms that decide how our trucks move.
You will work end to end - from problem framing and algorithm design through implementation, on-vehicle validation, and the cases that come back from the road.

B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
A track record of shipping algorithms that ran on real hardware or in production, not only in research or simulation.

Experience with online/HD mapping, reference-line or lane-graph generation.
Familiarity with the planning-perception interface: uncertainty representation, occlusion reasoning, safety and liability evaluation, and agent modeling.
Experience operating in a safety-critical or heavily validated software environment.
Background in autonomous trucking or highway-speed autonomy.

United by a shared vision, we create groundbreaking solutions that propel the future of transportation.
Build the learning-based pipeline for prediction and planning: data curation, model design and training, and integration on-vehicle.
Turn road and simulation cases into root-cause analysis, algorithmic fixes, and regression coverage that prevents recurrence.

At Bot Auto, we are revolutionizing the transportation of goods with our cutting-edge autonomous trucks, enhancing the quality of life for communities around the globe.
