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.

  • ROS2
  • C++
  • Python
  • internal middleware
  • point cloud / occupancy representations
