Software Engineer Intern – Motion Planning (Autonomous Vehicles)

Mission Summary: We are looking for a highly motivated intern to join our Motion Planning team and work on the state-of-the-art motion planning algorithms. Here, you will have the opportunity to work with engineers and researchers to advance the cutting edge of autonomous system development. The internship will take place in our Singapore office and we expect a full-time internship period of at least 5 months. We offer flexible working hours and allow for remote work. The candidate will however have to live in Singapore for the duration of the internship. Responsibilities: • Develop or refine action-generation algorithms and/or models, motion planners, and trajectories • Run simulation or real-world experiments to evaluate action execution quality • Support analysis and tuning of action performance (latency, smoothness, stability). • Document tools, experiments, and action models clearly Required Skills: • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's/Master's/PhD degrees in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field. Master's/PhD candidates are preferred. • Strong programming skills in C++ • Coursework or project experience in one or more: • Motion planning • Robotics or autonomous systems • Familiarity with simulation tools Preferred Skills: • Knowledge of kinematics, dynamics, or robotics frameworks • Experience in developing motion planning algorithms Motional is a driverless technology company making autonomous vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality. We’re driven by something more. Our journey is always people first. We aren't just developing driverless cars; we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move. Higher purpose, greater impact. We’re creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads. We believe in building a great place to work through a progressive, global culture that is diverse, inclusive, and ensures people feel valued at every level of the organization. Diversity helps us to see the world differently; it’s not only good for our business, it’s the right thing to do. Scale up, not starting up. Our team is behind some of the industry's largest leaps forward, including the first fully-autonomous cross-country drive in the U.S, the launch of the world's first robotaxi pilot, and operation of the world's longest-standing public robotaxi fleet. We’re driven to scale; we’re moving towards commercialization of our technology, and we need team members who are ready to embrace change and challenges.
