What the job involves
- As a Senior Software Engineer, Planning for self-driving trucks, you will work on developing cutting-edge software that takes data from a multitude of sensors such as cameras, radars and lidars, and converts them into actionable information for downstream components like prediction and planning
- Design, develop and deploy motion planning software to support PlusAI’s planning, using the latest techniques in lateral and longitudinal motion planning
- Utilize latest C++ numerical optimization frameworks (e.g. qpOasys) and industry standard software tools (git, ROS, etc.) to integrate new lateral and longitudinal motion planning algorithms into our production system
- Perform system level diagnostics and tuning using in-house visualization tools and open-source visualization platforms (e.g. webviz)
- Use good oral and written communication skills to collaborate with other engineers to produce system designs that are approved at a high level before software implementation begins
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 drivers in the US.
PlusAI 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, PlusAI 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, PlusAI is testing its automated trucks on German roads and plans to expand into other European markets, like Spain, very soon.
