• Develop a low latency network communication stack.

• Develop client/server communication protocol using API like Restful or gRPC.

• Collaborate with C++ software components on the autonomous vehicle to integrate Remote Vehicle Assistance capabilities.

• Test-driven development of new features supporting the autonomous vehicle.

• Develop and maintain a comprehensive integration and simulation test suite to test all software before it goes to production.

• Collaborate with systems and product teams to develop a product that fits both customer needs and system requirements.

• Collaborate with testing and operations engineers to support Motional’s on-road testing.

What We're Looking For:

• Enrolled in Masters Degree/PhD in Computer Networking/Electrical and Electronic Engineering/Computer Engineering

Motional is a driverless technology company making autonomous vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality. We’re driven by something more.

Our journey is always people first.

We aren't just developing driverless cars; we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move.

Higher purpose, greater impact.

We’re creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads. We believe in building a great place to work through a progressive, global culture that is diverse, inclusive, and ensures people feel valued at every level of the organization. Diversity helps us to see the world differently; it’s not only good for our business, it’s the right thing to do.

Scale up, not starting up.

Our team is behind some of the industry's largest leaps forward, including the first fully-autonomous cross-country drive in the U.S, the launch of the world's first robotaxi pilot, and operation of the world's longest-standing public robotaxi fleet. We’re driven to scale; we’re moving towards commercialization of our technology, and we need team members who are ready to embrace change and challenges.
