Job description

Mission Summary:
We're looking for a Software Engineer to design and develop Motional's Remote Vehicle Assistance team.  Remote Vehicle Assistance (RVA) project main goal is to overcome gaps in AV's Operation Design Domain to allow expanded operations using a remote human operator. This involves overriding onboard AV systems (perception, planner and control), and transmitting low latency sensor and semantic data out of the vehicle.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Develop, maintain and support C++ software that enables Remote Vehicle Assistance
  • Collaborate with C++ applications and UI engineers to pass data between software running on the autonomous vehicle and software running on remote stations
  • Collaborate with C++ software components on the autonomous vehicle to integrate Remote Vehicle Assistance capabilities
  • Test-driven development of new features supporting the autonomous vehicle
  • Develop and maintain a comprehensive integration and simulation test suite to test all software before it goes to production
  • Collaborate with systems and operations teams to develop a product that fits both customer needs and system requirements
  • Collaborate with testing and operations engineers to support Motional's on-road testing
  • Design, develop, and maintain RVA agent training tools, including the creation of comprehensive simulation scenarios.
  • Contribute to the development and support of next-generation RVA product features.

What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
  • Minimum of 2 years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Proficient in C++
  • Working knowledge of SQL
  • Basic understand of Git, Bazel, JIRA, Confluence or similar development tools
  • Ability to learn how to use a motional specific custom SoC
  • Experience working on a linux Operating System
  • Capable of performing statistical performance of deployed features

Bonus Points (not required):

  • Experience with Modern C++ ( 11/14/17 or later)
  • Experience working with Python, Golang
  • Experience with QT, OpenGL

Why should you join us?

  • Work on cutting edge technologies
  • Flexi Benefits
