About the role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to improve behavior prediction for autonomous driving. In this role, you will work on how our autonomy system predicts the behavior, intent, and future motion of other road users, and how those predictions are used by the planning system to make safe, comfortable, and effective decisions.
What they're looking for
- Own prediction improvements within the Planning team. Advance prediction models and collaborate closely with ML teams on learned prediction models, model outputs, uncertainty, and failure modes
- Improve prediction-planning interfaces, including confidence, uncertainty, intent representation, and fallback behavior
- Collaborate on projects that improve planning behavior in scenarios where actor intent is uncertain or changing
- Define metrics and evaluation frameworks for prediction quality as it relates to planning behavior. Analyze prediction-related planning failures using logs, simulation, metrics, and scenario-based evaluation
- Lead technical projects and mentor junior engineers
More about this role
Kodiak Robotics, Inc. was founded in 2018 and has become a leader in autonomous ground transportation committed to a safer and more efficient future for all. The company has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) powered technology stack purpose-built for commercial trucking and the public sector. The company delivers freight daily for its customers across the southern United States using its autonomous technology. In 2024, Kodiak became the first known company to publicly announce delivering a driverless semi-truck to a customer. Kodiak is also leveraging its commercial self-driving software to develop, test and deploy autonomous capabilities for the U.S. Department of Defense.
