Senior Motion Planning Engineer – Autonomous Driving, Land Domain (m/f/d)

About the role: As Senior Motion Planning Engineer – Autonomous Driving, Land Domain, you will play a key role in shaping how our autonomous ground systems navigate safely, efficiently, and robustly through complex environments. You will develop motion planning capabilities that transform perception, localization, maps, mission objectives, and vehicle constraints into decisions and trajectories that our autonomous vehicles can execute in the real world. You will take strong technical ownership of motion planning systems, architecture, and engineering decisions. You will contribute hands-on to complex technical challenges, challenge existing approaches, evaluate trade-offs, and continuously improve the reliability, scalability, and real-world performance of our planning capabilities. As a senior engineer, you will act as a technical sparring partner for other engineers. You will share your expertise, review technical approaches, mentor less experienced colleagues, and contribute to engineering standards and best practices, while enabling teams to retain ownership of their respective systems and decisions. Working closely with teams across perception, localization and mapping, control, simulation, platform software, verification, and vehicle integration, you will translate complex autonomy challenges into robust technical solutions. You will help align interfaces, requirements, and technical priorities across teams and support the transition of motion planning capabilities from
