Role
Who you are
- We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with expertise in deep learning, data analysis, and vehicle dynamics modeling
- MS (with 5+ years of relevant experience) or PhD (with 2+ years) in mechanical, electrical, aerospace engineering, physics, computer science, or a related field
- Extensive experience applying deep learning techniques to time series forecasting and data analysis
- Strong understanding of conventional vehicle dynamics modeling
- Proficient in Python and C++, with experience working in large codebases
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in a team setting
Desirable
- Familiarity with state-of-the-art deep learning models and their applications
- Experience with autonomous vehicle or robotics simulation and related concepts
- Background in autonomous vehicle prediction, planning, and control
What the job involves
- In this role, you will apply data-driven techniques to develop high-fidelity, scalable vehicle simulation models tailored to various vehicle platforms. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to advance autonomous driving technology and drive innovation in simulation and model development
- Develop accurate, scalable vehicle dynamics models from collected road test data, leveraging deep learning and advanced data analysis techniques
- Conduct in-depth analysis of road test data to identify trends, anomalies, and key performance indicators to enhance model accuracy
- Integrate the data-driven models into simulation pipelines with seamless compatibility
- Design and implement an automated modeling pipeline for periodic model training, evaluation, and updates
- Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to reproduce and resolve issues encountered during real-world road tests
Our take
With self-driving vehicles becoming more common, the tuck shipping industry stands to benefit from autonomous driving technology, particularly given the current shortage of drives in the US.
Plus provides self-driving technology for trucks to make fleets safer, more fuel-efficient, and sustainable. It uses machine learning to analyze routes and scenarios, providing real-time data to trucks equipped with the PlusDrive system. Unlike competitors focusing on urban transportation, Plus is tackling long-distance logistics, though regulatory challenges in the US remain a concern.
Currently, Plus offers a system that enhances driver safety and efficiency, while continuing to develop fully autonomous solutions. Following a successful pilot with IVECO, Plus is testing its automated trucks on German roads and plans to expand into European markets.
