Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

5 transfer filings in the last year, covering 5 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • You are a great fit if you have real world experience with Motion Planning, Optimization and/or Controls, as well as a proven record deploying real-time, safety critical software to production.

Responsibilities

  • Own the delivery of TG&C features from design to integration, providing a well controlled, safe and comfortable vehicle experience.
  • Work closely with other Autonomy teams (Constraint Generation, Trajectory Selection, World Fusion, Prediction, Perception, Localization, Calibration,...) to design and deploy robust solutions, encompassing all aspects of autonomous driving.
  • Be involved in design and iteration exercises, and help to align stakeholders by using strong presentation and communication skills.
  • The Trajectory Generation and Controls (TG&C) team owns the trajectory generation, optimization and controls components that power how autonomous trucks drive.
  • In this role you will work in all phases of the software development cycle, from solution design to implementation and deployment.
  • You will collaborate with various teams in Autonomy, Systems Engineering and Operations, fostering a culture of safety, principled engineering and a customer oriented mindset.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Experience with Python.
  • BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or closely related field. MS or PhD is a plus.
  • Experience building motion planning and/or control systems for real world applications. Experience with large ground vehicles is a plus.
  • Knowledge and experience with optimal control or dynamic optimization, especially in the context of model predictive control or real-time trajectory generation. Experience with optimization algorithms (e.g., sequential quadratic programming, interior point methods) is a plus.
  • Knowledge and experience with vehicle dynamics, system identification and real-time control algorithms. Experience with tooling and metrics is a plus.
  • Fluent in modern C++.
  • 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, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and identity.
