The Aurora Driver is a self-driving system designed to operate multiple vehicle types, from freight-hauling trucks to ride-hailing passenger vehicles. It underpins Aurora's driver-as-a-service products for trucking and ride-hailing. Aurora is working with industry leaders across the transportation ecosystem, including Continental, FedEx, Hirschbach, PACCAR, Ryder, Schneider, Toyota, Uber, Uber Freight, Volvo Trucks, Volvo Autonomous Solutions, and Werner.

In this role, you will

  • Improving the framework that the MP algorithms integrate into to reduce boilerplate, improve flexibility & composability, and improve testability
  • Reduce frequency of MP software faults, improve automation used to categorize detected issues
  • Improve the MP's world representation and encoding to support both learned and engineered approaches
  • Simplify MP internal state management and bootstrapping
  • Detection and response to certain faults and rare events, such as severe weather or hardware failures.
Required Qualifications

  • Excellent software engineering skills (Data Oriented Programming style preferred)
  • Experience working with robotics (strongly preferred)
  • Experience working on distributed/asynchronous systems (preferred)

  • Ability to work with others on design and implementation and both provide and receive constructive feedback
  • Ability to estimate and deliver their work on schedule
Desirable Qualifications
  • Python Coding (strong preference, not required)
  • MP background would be ideal (since it's more robot planning focused)

Within the range, the successful candidate's starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions.
