A WORLD EMPOWERED BY AUTONOMY. WE BUILD ROBOTIC VEHICLES TO IMPROVE LOGISTICS SAFETY, FORGE A GREENER EARTH, AND ENHANCE HUMAN LIVES. We are a closely-knit team aspiring to change the world through disruptive technology. We are innovators. We are tinkerers. We are problem-solvers. And we have a fair amount of magic dust up our sleeves. We have a plan for fleet-level deployment of autonomous vehicles, and we are looking for the best-of-the-best to join us in making this a reality. ABOUT VENTI TECHNOLOGIES Based in the U.S. and Asia, Venti Technologies is the leader in safe-speed autonomous logistics systems, developing the future of goods transportation. Using rigorous mathematics, deep learning, and theoretically-grounded algorithms, Venti has a proprietary collection of autonomy technologies including a suite of powerful logistics algorithms. Venti’s proven value proposition of saving costs, increasing vehicle utilization, and improving safety is recognized by customers and driving growth. Launched in 2018, Venti brings together an unsurpassed team internationally. The company has autonomous systems deployed in Asia for industrial and logistics sites and a growing pipeline. Venti has offices in Cambridge (Massachusetts, USA), Suzhou (China), and Singapore – our Asian headquarters. LOCATION - Singapore Position overview We are seeking a Senior Planning Research Scientist with strong software engineering expertise to join our planning and control team. You will design, implement, and optimize advanced planning algorithms that enable autonomous vehicles to navigate complex and dynamic environments safely and efficiently. In this role, you will own both the research and engineering aspects of planning — from developing novel algorithms to delivering clean, high-performance, and reliable C++ implementations ready for deployment. You will work cross-functionally with perception, prediction, and control teams to bring robust autonomy to large-scale operations. Role respon
