Ph3Why Aidoptation? /h3 pAt Aidoptation, we work on the hardest problems in autonomous driving: high-speed, safety-critical scenarios where precision and robustness matter. Our technology is proven at racing speeds and translated into real-world highway autonomy. To succeed, we recruit the best engineers globally. We receive a high volume of applications and referrals and select for excellence and commitment alongside deep technical competence. /p h3What You Will Do /h3 pIn this role, you will lead the development of path and trajectory planning for high-speed highway autonomy, with responsibility for generating safe, feasible, and high-quality motion under real-world system constraints. You will design planning solutions for core highway behaviors such as lane keeping, lane changes, obstacle avoidance, and safety-critical fallback maneuvers, with particular emphasis on robustness to perception uncertainty, localization error, and timing imperfections. You will implement real-time planning algorithms across sampling, optimization, lattice, and MPC-based methods, and ensure they operate effectively within production compute budgets. Working closely with controls and vehicle integration, you will translate planning intent into dynamically feasible trajectories that respect curvature, jerk, and actuation limits while maintaining smooth and predictable behavior on the vehicle. /p h3Requirements /h3 h3Must-Haves /h3 ul liPhD with 2+ years of equivalent industry experience or MSc in Robotics, Computer Science, Control, or similar, with 5+ years of equivalent industry experience /li liStrong background in motion planning and optimization, including constraints, numerical stability, and real-time considerations. /li liProficiency in modern C++ with solid software engineering practices (testing, CI, profiling). /li liExperience building or deploying planning systems in robotics, ADAS, or autonomous driving. /li liComfortable in Linux environments and ROS 2. /li liDriving license valid in the EU. /li liStartup mentality: ownership, speed, and high standards. /li liFluent English (Dutch is a plus) /li liApplicants must already have the right to work in the EU.
