Our team consists of passionate professionals driven by a shared vision of creating a greener and more sustainable future through innovation, technology, and excellence.

We are looking for a Senior Motion Prediction Engineer with deep expertise in spatiotemporal modeling and machine learning to join our autonomous driving team. In this role, you will design, develop, and deploy advanced algorithms that predict the future trajectories of surrounding road users, including vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. Your work will directly influence planning and decision-making, enabling safe, efficient, and human-like driving behavior in complex traffic environments.

Responsibilities

Develop state-of-the-art deep learning models for motion prediction in multi-agent, interactive driving scenarios
Design and implement spatiotemporal architectures such as transformers, GNN, RNNs, or diffusion models for trajectory forecasting
Fuse multi-modal perception outputs from camera, LiDAR and radar sensors into robust prediction pipelines
Build interaction-aware and scene-context models that account for traffic rules and social behaviors
Optimize prediction models for real-time performance on automotive embedded platforms
Validate and benchmark models against large-scale datasets and diverse simulation scenarios
Collaborate closely with perception, mapping, planning, and other teams to ensure seamless integration into the autonomous driving stack
Contribute to dataset curation, annotation strategies, and scenario design for motion prediction tasks

Requirements

MSc/PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or a related field with 5+ years of industry experience
Strong foundation in machine learning and deep learning, with emphasis on spatiotemporal modeling and trajectory forecasting
Proficiency in Python and/or C++, with experience in ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
Hands‑on experience with motion prediction models (Transformers, LSTM, GNN etc.)
Familiarity with multi-modal sensor fusion and tracking systems
Solid understanding of vehicle dynamics, traffic flow modeling, and interaction‑aware prediction
Experience optimizing and deploying models for real‑time inference on embedded systems
Strong problem‑solving skills, ability to rapidly prototype, and track record of delivering production‑quality models
Familiarity with planning and control pipelines, and how prediction interfaces with downstream modules
Experience with simulation tools
Nice to have: Experience in ADAS or autonomous driving motion prediction systems
