Senior Path Planning Algorithm Engineer

Autobrains is looking for a hands-on Senior Path Planning Algorithm Engineer to design and develop the core planning intelligence of our autonomy stack — responsible for generating safe, comfortable, and feasible driving paths in real-world environments.

This role is key to turning perception and world understanding into actionable motion, enabling robust and scalable autonomous driving for millions of vehicles.

Responsibilities:

Design and develop Path Planning algorithms for L2+ up to Eyes-Off autonomy

Build planning components such as:

• path generation and refinement
• constraint-aware planning (lane geometry, static/dynamic obstacles, traffic rules)
• optimization-based planning and feasibility checks
  
  

• 5+ years of experience in autonomous driving / robotics / motion planning / navigation / real-time systems
• Strong expertise in Path Planning and/or optimization-based planning methods
• Strong C++ skills (Python is a plus)
• Experience working with real-time systems and performance-critical code
• Strong problem-solving skills, end-to-end ownership, and ability to work independently
• Experience in automotive production environments
