The role

As a Senior Robotics Engineer in the Autonomy group, you'll play a key role in shaping how our vehicles move, respond, and interact with the road environment. You'll be responsible for delivering robust low-level control and motion execution that directly impacts driving comfort and safety, while also enabling new user-facing capabilities such as configurable driving modes and behavior personalization. Working across simulation, real-world testing, and platform integration, this role gives you the opportunity to drive real impact across our R&D and production autonomy stack.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the interface between robot software and low-level vehicle control systems, ensuring reliable and safe actuation for both baseline and feature-driven behaviors.
• Design, test, and tune control strategies for drive-by-wire and motion execution to achieve smooth, stable, and precise driving performance across multiple driving modes and feature configurations.
• Collaborate with internal feature teams to support the deployment and validation of user-facing features (e.g., comfort modes, assertiveness profiles, personalization) on-road and in simulation.
• Work with suppliers and partners to ensure successful drive-by-wire integration for our future platforms enabling consistency across platforms for both control and behavior-level features.
• Keep our internal R&D fleet safe and functional with regards to motion control and drive-by-wire, and support rollout of feature experiments at scale.
• Support performance evaluation of new vehicle platforms during bring-up and AV stack integration, including validation of control and feature interaction.
• Develop and validate control loops (longitudinal and lateral) that connect the AV stack to vehicle actuation ensuring responsiveness to upstream planning and feature logic.
• Interface with third parties to specify, integrate, and validate low-level control system requirements, with flexibility to support evolving feature definitions.
• Contribute to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testbeds for control verification, feature evaluation, and safety assurance.
  
  

• Practical experience with controls engineering in robotics or automotive applications.
• Strong grasp of control theory (PID, state estimation, observers, MPC, stability analysis).
• Hands-on experience with testing, tuning, and debugging real-time control software on hardware platforms.
• Systems thinking: can quickly understand how the AV stack components interact to achieve driving performance.
• Experience with CAN bus (DBC files, interface scripts, signal analysis).
• Hands-on with control system design and tuning for robotics/vehicle applications.
• Experience with HIL testing of embedded systems.
• Comfort with defining and verifying requirements for both platform and feature-driven controls
• Strong software engineering skills (Python; comfortable in C++), daily Linux use.
  
  

• Experience writing and testing embedded control software for automotive/robotics.
• Familiarity with the software V-lifecycle and safety-critical development frameworks (ISO 26262, MISRA).
• MATLAB/Simulink for control design and rapid prototyping.
• Experience with ROS 2, Rust, or other modern robotics frameworks/systems
