Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in London

Design and build production-grade mission, behavior, and motion planning systems for autonomous ground support vehicles in airport environments. Responsibilities include selecting planning algorithms, defining software architecture, optimizing trajectories, handling uncertainty, collaborating with perception and controls teams, promoting functional safety practices, and mentoring engineers. The role requires strong C++ or Python skills, Linux experience, autonomous systems planning expertise, and the ability to independently solve complex technical problems.

Own and productionize localization, mapping, calibration, and state-estimation systems for autonomous ground vehicles operating at active airports. Responsibilities include sensor fusion, 3D mapping, calibration, online validation, diagnostics, regression testing, deployment, and safety monitoring. The role provides technical leadership across perception, planning, and platform teams while advancing autonomous operations toward driverless capability.

Designs and implements behavior planning algorithms for autonomous vehicles operating in structured, low-speed airport environments. Responsibilities include developing C++ and Python software, modeling multi-agent interactions, implementing decision-making and path-planning methods, testing in simulation and real-world scenarios, optimizing system performance, and collaborating with autonomy and engineering teams. The role requires expertise in behavior planning, probabilistic models, real-time navigation, debugging, profiling, and scalable software architecture.

Architects and deploys multimodal 2D/3D object detection and tracking models using camera, LiDAR, and radar data. Owns perception data collection, dataset development, evaluation pipelines, production monitoring, and the perception system roadmap. The role also requires cross-functional leadership and mentoring junior engineers.

Owns safe deployment and release processes for autonomous ground support equipment and vehicle software. Responsibilities include approving deployments across operational design domains, commissioning new autonomous vehicles, managing software release gates and validation, scheduling fleet updates, maintaining vehicle configurations, leading change-control reviews, and documenting changes for regulators and customers. The role partners cross-functionally with Engineering, Safety, Systems, and Product teams to ensure reliable, data-driven, safety-critical operations.

Performs software and system safety analyses for autonomous vehicle platforms, including HARA, FMEA, FTA, STPA, freedom-from-interference, and code-level hazard evaluations. Derives and traces safety requirements, defines fail-safe mechanisms, reviews safety-critical C++ and Python code, supports safety-case development, and collaborates with robotics, hardware, systems, software, and test teams to verify compliance and enable airport deployment.

Design, build, and maintain cloud-based data pipelines and infrastructure on AWS, integrating on-prem and cloud flows. Implement IaC, CI/CD, containerization, observability, and automation to ensure high-throughput, reliable data ingestion and processing for autonomous systems.

Own and extend simulation tooling for autonomy: integrate simulators with the production autonomy stack, ensure determinism and reproducibility, run large-scale cloud scenario execution, build evaluation and triage tooling, author scenarios, and maintain pipeline performance and coverage for V&V and release gating.
