  • Responsibilities

    The Motional global headquarters are located at 100 Northern Avenue in Boston, MA. Nestled in the busting Seaport district with sweeping views of Boston Harbor and downtown Boston, the offices are located close to major transit lines and a quick walk to various restaurants and popular attractions.

    AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE RESEARCH INTERN: RULEBOOKS (DDD)

    The Rulebooks team provides the behavioral specification of our vehicles. In this role, you will support Data-Driven Initiatives in our team. You will leverage internal and external data sources to guide the estimation of rule parameters, rule formulations, and priority structures empirically grounded in human driver behavior. (See https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.09355.pdf )

    WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

    • Learn from data how drivers behave to provide humanistic AI strategies for autonomous systems
    • Conduct research in the areas of control theory, machine learning, Bayesian inference, and econometrics to guide behavior specification of AVs.
    • Contribute to the design, implementation, and evaluation of state-of-the-art models for planning, decision making, motion prediction.
    • Structure performance metrics to guide validation strategies of our vehicles complying with SOTIF, SAE-AVSC, and ISO Standards.

    WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

    • Graduate student in computer science, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Robotics, EE, or related fields
    • Strong experience with naturalistic driving data and signal processing of IMU, radar, and LiDAR streams
    • Experience in Python, including standard scientific computing libraries
    • Experience writing SQL queries
    • Experience working with distributed computing tools (Hadoop, Hive, Spark, etc.)

    BONUS POINTS (NOT REQUIRED)

    • Publication record modeling human driving behavior applied on atomic scenarios including car-following, lane-change, pedestrian-vehicle interactions, among others.
    • Experience working with distributed computing tools (Hadoop, Hive, Spark, etc.)

    WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US

    • This is a great opportunity to experience first hand what it takes to bring a commercial grade robot taxi service to life while working in a welcoming environment full of enthusiastic professionals.
