PrincipalEngineer,Autonomy

WHO WE ARE AeroVect is transforming ground handling with autonomy, redefining how airlines and ground service providers around the globe run day-to-day operations. We are a Series A company backed by top-tier venture capital investors in aviation and autonomous driving. Our customers include some of the world’s largest airlines and ground handling providers. For more information, visit www.aerovect.com http://www.aerovect.com. We are hiring a Principal Engineer for Autonomy — the senior-most individual contributor in our autonomy organization. You will have the deepest hands-on technical ownership of one or more of Perception, Prediction, and Planning, with cross-stack influence across the rest of the autonomy stack. You will report directly to the VP of Engineering, with no direct reports of your own, but with the expectation that you set technical direction the rest of the autonomy team follows. We are looking for someone who is excellent both at the systems level and at execution — a senior IC with the technical depth to anchor the hardest decisions in autonomy and the bias for shipping to convert those decisions into running code on a vehicle. YOU WILL You are the senior-most IC in autonomy, with the deepest technical ownership of either Perception, Prediction, or Planning (or any combination thereof) and influence across the rest of the stack. - Perception. Own the design and evolution of the perception stack — detection, classification, tracking, and multi-modal sensor fusion across the available modalities. Drive perception robustness across the long tail of real-world operating conditions, and set the direction for where and how deep learning is best applied across the perception pipeline. - Prediction. Own the prediction stack and the design of models for intent inference, behavior forecasting, and handling occlusions and edge cases. Set the direction for how prediction integrates with perception upstream and planning downstream. - Planning. Own the design
