Software Engineer (Control) – San Francisco Bay Area – Salary: up to $400k OTE
Responsibilities:
- Design and implement controls modules that can be deployed on off-road vehicles for autonomous navigation.
- Characterize the dynamics of our customers’ vehicles to create tailored controls solutions and to reduce the gap between simulation and real-world dynamics.
- Evaluate and utilize academic research to create optimal-control-based solutions using techniques like nonlinear MPC and MPPI control.
- Collaborate with customers’ engineers and manage customer relationships.
We’re looking for someone who has:
- Passion about tackling challenging control problems involving a wide array of vehicles in challenging off-road environments.
- 3+ years of experience building production software using modern software practices.
- Hands-on experience testing controls solutions on real, production-grade vehicles.
- Fluency in differential equations, numerical optimization, numerical analysis, and physics.
- Enthusiasm for coming up with practical solutions to cutting-edge challenges in a fast-paced environment.
Nice to have:
- MSc or PhD in mechanical engineering or computer science with coursework or research experience in controls.
- Experience writing software that is compliant with guidelines for safety-critical C++ code, such as MISRA and AUTOSAR.
- Experience using quadratic programming solvers and nonlinear optimization tools such as OSQP, SCS, and CasADi to create robust and performant controllers.
- Experience applying machine learning techniques to vehicle dynamics modeling.
- Experience writing high-performance C++ code.
- Experience working with large industrial vehicles in off-road environments.
