Zoox
Senior/Staff Motion Planning Engineer, TeleGuidance
Zoox, Foster City, California, United States, 94420
Overview
The TeleGuidance Planning team at Zoox enables our autonomous vehicles to incorporate human contextual guidance into the planning algorithms, allowing our vehicles to reason about and navigate complex scenarios by leveraging real-time remote human guidance. TeleGuidance fuses the “human sensor” data in real-time to plan solutions to complete missions as part of the self-driving stack. Zoox is looking for a motion planning software engineer to join our Planning and Control team. In this role, you will help develop planner behavior and trajectories in collaboration with remote guidance and write on-vehicle C++ components that integrate human guidance into the execution of our robot. You’ll solve the most complex edge cases for autonomous systems that are crucial to enabling Zoox’s mission. Responsibilities
Write on-vehicle C++ code that integrates guidance provided by remote operators into the autonomous planner stack. Collaborate with Planner engineers from vertical teams and represent TeleGuidance on horizontal teams (e.g., construction zones, emergency vehicles). Design and implement tools and features that remote operators use to help our fleet navigate complex dense urban driving environments; work with QA to develop a test plan for new features. Contribute to a broad portion of the code base as indicated by your skills and interests (motion planning, trajectory optimization, GPU code, offline tooling/simulation, cost tuning, and more). Collaborate with developers across the AI software organization (Prediction, Perception, Core/Infra, and more). Qualifications
Master's degree in Computer Science or related field and 7+ years of experience Experience writing performance-critical production code in C++ Demonstrated ability to create real-time motion planning algorithms Understanding of configuration spaces and planning techniques (A*, D*, RRTs, etc.) Extensive experience with programming and algorithm design Strong mathematical and geometrical skills Experience leading small projects or teams Bonus Qualifications
PhD in Computer Science or related field Experience with autonomous robots, telerobotics Experience with CUDA, Protobuf, or TypeScript A salary range of $242,000 - $349,000 per year is provided as base salary, with compensation components including base salary, stock units/rights, and potential sign-on bonus. The listed range applies to base salary; total compensation varies by location and level. Zoox provides a comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance, and stock-based compensation. About Zoox Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and the supporting ecosystem required to bring this technology to market. We aim to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban environments and are looking for talent that shares our passion for fast-moving execution.
