This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.&nbsp;</p><p style=\\"margin: 0px;\\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\\"margin: 0px;\\">As a company, we constantly challenge what&rsquo;s possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.&nbsp;</p> <br><strong>Role Summary</strong><br><br><p><span xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"none\\">In this role, you will develop real-time motion and behavior planning algorithms that enable the autonomy of our fleet. This role will interface closely with the Pose, Perception, Prediction, and Controls teams to set companywide KPIs and produce the best in class, next-generation ADAS stack. At Rivian, we develop our systems from the ground up and in-house. We do this to give you the best possible tools at your disposal and make it easier to apply your knowledge to the difficult problems ahead. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in autonomous vehicles or robotics and a proven track record of being able to deliver to production.</span><span

    In this role, you will develop real-time motion and behavior planning algorithms that enable the autonomy of our fleet. This role will interface closely with the Pose, Perception, Prediction, and Controls teams to set companywide KPIs and produce the best in class, next-generation ADAS stack. At Rivian, we develop our systems from the ground up and in-house. We do this to give you the best possible tools at your disposal and make it easier to apply your knowledge to the difficult problems ahead. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in autonomous vehicles or robotics and a proven track record of being able to deliver to production.

    • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or other relevant Engineering disciplines  

    • Ability to build solutions from first principles  

    • Experience applying planning to real world problems  

    • Strong C++   

    • Background in motion planning with experience in graph planning, sampling methods, and optimal planning   

    • Background in behavior planning with experience in temporal logic structures, classical planning, and reinforcement learning  

    • Effective communication and collaborative skills 

    Preferred Qualifications 

    • Experience taking models from prototype to production  

    • Experience working with specialized compute (such as GPUs and other accelerators)  

    • Demonstration of State-of-the-Art knowledge in planning
