BASIC PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF POSITION

 HAVAL is developing a research team in the US whose mission is to design and develop an autonomous research system capable of autonomous driving on pre-defined routes without the need for driver intervention, that would support future productization of an SAE Level 4 automated driving system in China for mobility services.

The primary responsibility for this job is to work with a team of engineers to develop behavior planning software that will determine how the autonomous driving system analyzes the environment and selects an appropriate behavioral paradigm that is used to guide the vehicle motion. The Behavior Planning Engineer will interface with other subsystem teams involved in the ADS development including perception, mapping, and motion planning to develop a safe and robust driving system.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES:  This position does the following in accordance with all applicable Federal, State and local laws/regulations and the Company’s policies, procedures and guidelines:

  • Develop behavior planning software that integrates environmental dynamics including real-time information on road conditions, external vehicles, and interloping agents.
  • Develop mission planning software that searches and selects appropriate routing plans for vehicle transit from a departure point to the destination, incorporating information on traffic, time of day, road network structure, and user preferences.
  • Construct probabilistic models of external agents for the prediction of future agent states and behaviors.
  • Design and develop behavior algorithms that are resilient to degraded inputs such as sensor failures and perceptual anomalies.
  • Design robust algorithms that promote trust and safety of the ADS under a wide range of operating conditions.
  • Work with the ADS team to design, develop, and support software and hardware interfaces with relevant subsystems.
  • Integrate, test, improve, and specify hardware and software to support the behavior planning system users
