  • Develop tools in Python and C++ to analyze ODDs in new cities at scale.
  • Define and develop autonomy performance metrics and tools that can measure the deployment progress in new cities.
  • Support the design of long-term solutions to handle the new ODDs with the planning and control teams.

What we’re looking for:

  • Degree in Robotics, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • Fluent in modern C++ (11/14/17) software development in a Linux environment.
