Job Description
Lead Robotics SWE for designing behavior planning in autonomous sidewalk robots. Contributing to urban deliveries through innovative robotics solutions at Serve Robotics.
Responsibilities:
- Design and implement advanced behavior planning and control for autonomous sidewalk robots in complex urban environments.
- Architect mission/route ingestion at the robot level and integrate it with mapping, perception, prediction, planning, and control.
- Build and own the behavior layer (state machine/behavior tree) for cruise, overtake, peek/yield, and stop/move-to-side behaviors.
- Define lane selection and speed governance (right/center/road-side) with safety envelopes, comfort limits, and social etiquette.
- Instrument the stack with structured telemetry (option costs, clearances, interventions) and define KPIs and dashboards for release gating.
- Drive improvements to the robot’s ability to handle failure scenarios, correct inefficiencies, and compose low-level robotic skills into high-level, goal-directed behaviors.
- Lead testing and validation efforts in both simulation and real-world deployments, ensuring planning systems are reliable, safe, and performant.
- Maintain clear and comprehensive documentation of algorithms, codebases, interfaces, and system designs to support cross-team collaboration and long-term maintainability.
Requirements:
- Phd/Master’s degree in Robotics, AI, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field.
- 7+ years of experience in a Robotics or AI related engineering role
- Strong foundation in behavior planning methods, including state machines, behavior trees, policy learning, and probabilistic planning.
- Proficiency in C++14/17 and Python; solid systems skills (concurrency, memory, performance).
- Proven experience debugging and resolving long-tail edge cases in real-world autonomous systems through targeted behavior planning strategies.
- Proficient in writing efficient, scalable, and robust code in C++ and Python.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts clearly across teams.
Benefits:
- Offers Equity
