What you'll do

• Motion Planning & Trajectory Optimization Develop and enhance trajectory: optimization algorithms (e.g., iLQR / MPC-based approaches) for low-speed scenarios

• Design and implement constraint-aware optimization, including

• Improve local planners to generate control-friendly trajectories

• System Architecture & Performance Optimization Refactor and scale planning: stack architecture for maintainability and extensibility

• Optimize CPU usage and explore parallel/GPU acceleration opportunities

• Improve system-level behaviors such as: Stability under dynamic constraints

What they're looking for

• Scalability across scenarios and vehicle platforms
• Debugging, Validation, and Production Integration Investigate and resolve: real-world issues such as: Curvature discontinuities, velocity/trajectory mismatches, and edge-case steering behavior
• Validate solutions using: Simulation and vehicle logs
• Multi-scenario testing and benchmarking
