To connect the world, we must reflect the world. At Virgin Hyperloop, we’re bringing together unique perspectives, empowering our community to celebrate all voices, and creating equal opportunities to build, grow, and thrive.
WHY WE NEED YOU
The Autonomous Control Software Lead will lead the Autonomous Control Algorithms Team under Software Engineering Department. The Autonomous Control Algorithms Team is responsible for core algorithms enabling the autonomous operation of the Virgin Hyperloop Transportation System, including onboard decision making, motion planning, perception, and safety protection.
The Autonomous Control Algorithms Team works closely with simulation and data teams within department to develop core onboard algorithms, libraries, toolchains, prepare autonomous control software for Software-in-The-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-The-Loop (HIL) tests, perform analysis, and iterate system and algorithm design. In the process, the Autonomous Control Algorithms Team collaborates with safety and system departments to rigorously verify and validate the developed algorithms and software. Ultimately, the Autonomous Control Algorithms Team works with embedded software department to develop and deploy safety critical software to production Hyperloop system.
Realtime onboard autonomous operation software is a key component for delivering safe, comfortable, and highly efficient Hyperloop systems. The candidate will lead on the design, development, and maturation of onboard autonomy software stack, including perception, state estimation, decision making, motion planning and trajectory optimization.
Ultimately, we will design a safe, autonomous, and intelligent command and control system that make Hyperloop a reality. We are seeking highly passionate and self-motivated candidates with strong leadership experience to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals at our Los Angeles facility.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design, develop, deliver, and mature the core onboard autonomous control algorithms and software in C++.
- Lead the design, development, testing, and deployment of real-time onboard localization and perception algorithms.
- Establish, improve, and verify a scalable decision-making framework/library/toolchain, suitable for safety critical software.
- Lead the development, improvements, and testing of high-speed motion planning and control algorithms.
- Establish technical roadmap, grow and lead a team for successful execution.
- Collaborate with system and safety departments to identify safety risks, define, develop, and test contingency resolution strategies.
- Communicate, present, and defend opinions concerning physical and logical architecture in a productive and diplomatic fashion.
- Keep a customer focused mindset, prioritizing developer productivity and application uptime.
- Champion processes and procedures across the organization.
WHAT YOU'VE DONE
- MS/PhD degree in robotics, computer science, mechanical/electrical engineering, or equivalent fields.
- Advanced proficiency in C++/STL and Linux environment and strong production software development abilities.
- Strong robotics domain expertise and knowledge in field of decision-making (finite state machine, decision tree, behavior tree, etc.), state estimation and filtering, perception, motion planning, trajectory optimization, and control systems.
- Strong technical leadership, analytical and research capability, and technical management skills.
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience delivering avionics, automotive, or other safety critical software products.
- Domain expertise and knowledge in field of transportation, logistics, and autonomous systems.
MUST HAVE
- Authorized to work in the U.S
