We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer who can design and build best-in-class behavior planning systems for autonomous driving in structured, low-speed environments.
In this role, you'll own the design and implementation of key modules in the behavior planner — the decision-making layer that determines what the vehicle should do in complex, dynamic airside scenarios. You'll work at the intersection of mission-level goals and motion-level execution, tackling problems in multi-agent interaction modeling, rule-based and learned decision-making, and robust handling of edge cases unique to airport ground operations.
This opportunity offers a deeply technical engineer the chance to shape a market-defining enterprise product that combines autonomous vehicle technology with a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. This role reports to our Planning Tech Lead and works closely with the autonomy engineering team.

Develop and implement advanced behavior planning algorithms for autonomous vehicles
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure robust integration and functionality of planning systems
Design, write, and maintain efficient and scalable code in C++ and Python
Contribute to the architecture and continuous improvement of behavior planning software
Conduct extensive testing in simulated environments and real-world scenarios to validate and refine behavior planning algorithms
Analyze system performance and implement enhancements based on data and feedback
Maintain comprehensive documentation of code, algorithms, and system designs
Work closely with other engineering teams to ensure seamless coordination and development

Proficient in modern C++ (11/14/17) and object-oriented programming
Skilled in Python for rapid prototyping and testing
Strong in debugging, profiling, and optimizing code
Deep understanding of behavior planning algorithms such as state machines, behavior trees, and probabilistic planning
Familiarity with path planning algorithms like A*, RRT, or optimization-based methods
Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field
Minimum of 3 years of industry experience in autonomous driving, robotics, or a related field

Knowledge of state machines, behavior trees, and decision-making under uncertainty
Expertise in path planning algorithms such as A*, D*, and Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT)
Knowledge of machine learning techniques, especially in the context of behavior prediction and planning
Experience with ROS / ROS2
Implementing systems that can re-plan at high frequencies to adapt to dynamic changes in the environment
Ensuring that behavior planning algorithms can execute with minimal latency for real-time navigation
Proficiency in optimization techniques and probabilistic models for making informed planning decisions under uncertainty
Master’s degree or PhD in Robotics, AI, Mathematics, or a related field with a focus on planning, optimization, or control theory is a plus
