Platform Systems Engineer; Motion Planning and Control
You will...
- Create Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Requirements using analytical and numerical methods, with focus on motion planning, motion control and Vehicle Dynamics (VD).
- Own the definition and requirements development of the Motion Planning, Motion Control and low level vehicle control contract.
- Create methods and use physical and simulated data to inform and verify principled requirements
Advance VD simulation in AVs.
Qualifications:
- Strong foundation in AV systems in motion planning, motion control and VD and low level actuator control.
- Strong physics and control systems knowledge.
- Knowledge of Systems Engineering and Verification and Validation (V&V) best practices.
- Knowledge of functional safety standards (i.e. ISO 26262).
- Comprehensive coding skills in Python, or other common programming languages.
- Risk modeling, translating probabilistic safety goals into physical metrics, and quantifying system uncertainty (including correlated errors).
- Requirements decomposition from high-level safety goals into detailed, verifiable functional and technical requirements for a Level 4 AV system.
- Experience in VD simulation (use) and VD tools development (build).
Bonus:
- Applied and proven experience in building end to end motion planning and control systems systems.
- Commercial trucking actuator system and truck dynamics and control.
- Applied and proven experience of optimal control systems.
- A strong passion for robotics systems and an intuitive understanding of actual electro-mechanical problems in the context of self-driving or robotics.
- Coding in Rust and using build and test automation tools.
