About the role
We are seeking a Software Engineer / Senior Software Engineer to develop the next-generation map fusion and motion planning systems for our autonomous vehicles. In this role, you will bridge the gap between semantic HD maps, real-time sensor perception, and vehicle trajectory generation.
What they're looking for
- Education: B.S./M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Experience: 3+ years (Software Engineer) / 5+ years (Senior Software Engineer) of experience in autonomous driving, robotics architecture, or spatial computing
- Software Mastery: Expert proficiency in production-grade C++ (Modern C++14/17/20, multi-threading, memory management) and strong prototyping proficiency in Python
- Motion Planning Fundamentals: Robust foundational knowledge in path planning (e.g., A*, Dijkstra, Hybrid A*, sampling-based planners like RRT*) and kinematic/dynamic vehicle models
- Robotics Core: Deep understanding of robotics fundamentals, including coordinate transformations, spatial geometry, and state estimation
- System Design: Strong system design skills with a solid understanding of middleware (e.g., ROS2, DDS) and distributed software architectures
More about this role
DiDi's autonomous driving unit was established in 2016 with the mission of developing Level 4 autonomous driving (AD) technology to make transportation safer and more efficient. In August 2019, the unit became an independent company, DiDi Autonomous Driving, dedicated to advanced AD R&D, product application, and business expansion. We believe integrating AD technology into a shared-mobility fleet will generate immense social value. By leveraging DiDi's specialized technology, operational expertise, and integrated ecosystem, we are positioned to build and operate a highly efficient, user-oriented autonomous fleet.
We are seeking a Software Engineer / Senior Software Engineer to develop the next-generation map fusion and motion planning systems for our autonomous vehicles. In this role, you will bridge the gap between semantic HD maps, real-time sensor perception, and vehicle trajectory generation. You will design scalable software infrastructure, implement advanced geometric and deep learning frameworks, and develop the planning algorithms that enable our vehicles to navigate complex, dynamic environments safely and predictably.
