About the role

Senior Software Control Integration Engineer focusing on autonomous vehicle control algorithms, integration, and validation across AV software stack. Role emphasizes vehicle dynamics, MPC, state estimation, in-vehicle networks, and cross-team integration to build a world-class autonomous driving system.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to development related to vehicle dynamics and control and support other teams in such areas (ACC/LK, urban driving, trajectory planning, vehicle operation limit estimation, emergency maneuvers).
  • Design technologies to build Autonomous Vehicle software stack and write new software modules from scratch for vehicle control.
  • Provide feedback on system design to product level (architecture, failure modes, redundancy).
  • Build offline and online benchmarks for vehicle control.
  • Define and build tools to tune vehicle dynamics control and manage calibration updates for various vehicle types.
  • Drive integration of control functionality across platforms; troubleshoot control and actuation issues in vehicles.
  • Develop and maintain vehicle test suites to detect control integration problems; create automated tests to ensure software quality and prevent regressions.
  • Tackle difficult problems and contribute to groundbreaking, innovative technology in autonomous vehicle control.

Qualifications

  • BS, MS, or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • 8+ years of relevant work experience
  • Knowledge in control theories (classical, modern, nonlinear, MPC, optimal, robust, sliding mode) - at least three
  • Understanding of state estimation techniques (Luenberger observer, Kalman filter)
  • Ability to develop vehicle models and perform parameter identification and benchmarking
  • Proficiency in high-level algorithm design and prototyping in Matlab/Simulink/Python; production-oriented implementation with C/C++
  • Experience in architectural design and software development with C/C++ for real-time embedded control systems (vehicle ECU)
  • Understanding of automotive software test and verification; experience writing unit and system-level tests
  • Experience integrating, tuning, and validating prototype/production control software with application, driver, and vehicle network layers
  • Experience developing/using in-vehicle control software verification and calibration tools for autonomous vehicle applications
