## About the role

We're looking for a Robotics Planning Engineer to develop the high-level autonomy systems that coordinate fleets of autonomous haul trucks in mining environments. You'll work on path planning, multi-vehicle coordination, and dispatch systems that operate at the site level — deciding where trucks go, when they go, and how they interact with each other.

## What they're looking for

- BS/MS/PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or related field required
- 2+ years of professional (non-internship) software development experience
- Strong foundation in motion planning algorithms
- Experience with computational geometry (collision detection, polygon operations)
- Proficiency in Python and NumPy for numerical computing
- Understanding of vehicle kinematics and nonholonomic constraints
