Software Engineer, Motion Planning
DiDi Labs, San Jose, CA +1
The role
We are seeking a Software Engineer /Sr. Software Engineer to join our team and develop the core decision-making and motion planning systems for our autonomous vehicles. In this role, you will be responsible for creating the algorithms that enable smooth, safe, and intelligent navigation in complex environments. You will tackle challenges across the full motion planning stack, from high-level behavioral reasoning to low-level trajectory optimization.
What you will do
- Design and implement the core motion planning logic that determines the vehicle's high-level actions (e.g., lane changes, merges, yields, and interactions with other agents).
- Develop and optimize the motion planning algorithms that execute behavioral decisions, integrating Geometry Reasoning (path) and Speed Reasoning (velocity) into a cohesive trajectory.
