About the Role
We are seeking a highly technical individual who is passionate about our mission and cares deeply about product aesthetics and design. This role requires self-motivation and a drive to get things done.
Responsibilities
- Set short and long term direction for planning architecture and priorities.
- Design and implement motion planning algorithms for off-road ATV navigation.
- Integrate waypoints, obstacle avoidance, and terrain constraints into safe, drivable paths.
- Tune and validate control parameters for robust performance on rough, off-road terrain.
- Design test scenarios and evaluate planning algorithms in both simulation and field environments.
- Set real-time replanning policies and continuity rules so behavior remains stable as conditions change.
- Generate speed profiles from curvature, visibility, slope, and surface quality; respect slow/no-go zones and grade limits.
- Collaborate with vehicle engineering to create an integrated system, including sensor/compute selection and integration.
- Implement state-of-the-art approaches to trajectory planning, route planning, and real-time control.
Requirements
- Strong background in robotics, controls, or related fields (MSc or equivalent experience).
- Hands-on experience with motion planning algorithms.
- Comfort with real-world testing and debugging on robotic platforms.
- Experience integrating autonomy stacks on real robotic vehicles (not just simulation).
- Strong problem-solving skills with a bias toward practical, field-ready solutions over theory.
