高级软件工程师，自主行动维护
Senior Software Engineer, Autonomy Actions Sustaining
职位描述：
我们正在寻找一位高级软件工程师加入规划、运动和控制团队，开发和维护仿真和分析工具，以加快自主堆栈行为的开发，并实现自动根本原因分析。这是一个令人兴奋的机会，适合希望在自动驾驶技术的开发和改进中产生重大影响的人。如果您是一位自我驱动的个体，具有扎实的软件开发背景，并热衷于创建先进的工具，我们鼓励您申请这个职位。
您将负责的工作：
- 核心技术栈：C++（用于原生工具开发和与自动驾驶堆栈的高性能绑定），Python（用于脚本和后端工具）。设计和开发高效且用户友好的工具，以支持自动驾驶技术的开发
- 参数覆盖与本地重跑：开发本地或基于云的执行运行器，允许工程师修改配置文件/参数（例如，成本权重、距离阈值、安全边际）和代码库，并针对记录的日志重新运行自动驾驶堆栈，以即时观察行为变化。
- 行为逐步调试与重仿真：构建图形用户界面调试器和基于网络或原生的2D/3D可视化工具，能够接收记录的感知、预测和规划帧，让开发者可以暂停、逐帧前进或后退，并检查决策逻辑。
- 与规划和控制工程师合作，了解他们对仿真和分析工具的需求
- 持续改进和优化仿真和分析工具，以提升其性能和功能
- 通过积极倾听自动驾驶工程师的痛点并开发稳健的解决方案，为Motional自动驾驶技术的成功做出贡献
我们寻找的人选：
- 计算机科学、软件工程或相关领域的学士或硕士学位。
- 至少5年软件开发和测试经验，最好在汽车或游戏行业。
- 精通编程语言，如C++，专注于构建高性能和可靠的系统。
- 能够在大型复杂代码库中导航和贡献，其中模块化和文档是关键。
- 对无人驾驶的未来充满热情，并理解部署与物理世界交互的软件的高风险性。

Mission Summary:
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Planning, Motion, and Controls Team to develop and maintain simulation and analysis tools that allow for faster development of the autonomy stack behavior and for automated root cause analysis. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is looking to make a significant impact in the development and improvement of autonomous driving technology. If you are a self-motivated individual with a strong background in software development and a passion for creating advanced tools, we encourage you to apply for this role.
What you'll be doing:
- Core Tech Stack: C++ (for native tool development and high-performance bindings with the autonomous driving stack), Python (for scripting and backend tooling). Design and develop efficient and user-friendly tools to support development of autonomy technology
- Parameter Overrides & Local Reruns: Developing local or cloud-based execution runners that allow engineers to modify config files/parameters (e.g., cost weights, distance thresholds, safety margins) and codebase and rerun the autonomy stack against a recorded log to observe behavioral changes instantly.
- Behavior Step-Through & Re-Simulation: Building GUI debuggers and web-based or native 2D/3D visualizers that ingest logged perception, prediction, and planning frames, letting developers pause, step forward/backward frame-by-frame, and inspect decision logic.
- Collaborate with the planning and controls engineers to understand their requirements of simulation and analysis tools
- Continuously improve and optimize the simulation and analysis tools to enhance their performance and functionality
- Contribute to the success of the Motional autonomous driving technology by actively listening to the pain points of the Autonomy engineers and developing robust solutions
What we're looking for:
- Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in Software development and Testing, preferably in the automotive or gaming industry.
- Strong proficiency in programming languages such as C++, with a focus on building high-performance and resilient systems.
- Comfortable navigating and contributing to large, complex codebases where modularity and documentation are key.
- Passionate about a driverless future and understand the high stakes of deploying software that interacts with the physical world.
Bonus points (not required):
- Experience with game engine development
- Experience with planning and control systems
- Experience with performance optimization with high throughput data
- Experience with Qt development
We encourage a hybrid schedule with in-office time at one of our locations in Boston, Pittsburgh, or Las Vegas to support collaboration, or this role can be fully remote
The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors including but not limited to specific skills, experience and expertise, role location, certifications, licenses, and business needs.

Motional is a driverless technology company making autonomous vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality. We’re driven by something more.
Our journey is always people first.
We aren't just developing driverless cars; we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move.
Higher purpose, greater impact.
We’re creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads. We believe in building a great place to work through a progressive, global culture that is diverse, inclusive, and ensures people feel valued at every level of the organization. Diversity helps us to see the world differently; it’s not only good for our business, it’s the right thing to do.
Scale up, not starting up.
Our team is behind some of the industry's largest leaps forward, including the first fully-autonomous cross-country drive in the U.S, the launch of the world's first robotaxi pilot, and operation of the world's longest-standing public robotaxi fleet. We’re driven to scale; we’re moving towards commercialization of our technology, and we need team members who are ready to embrace change and challenges.
Formed as a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Group and Aptiv, Motional is fundamentally changing how people move through their lives.
