With the agility of a startup and the wisdom of seasoned experts, our team has achieved numerous world-firsts and unparalleled innovations. United by a shared vision, we create groundbreaking solutions that propel the future of transportation. Join us and transform your ideas into reality.\nAbout The Role You will be the engineer who keeps the autonomy stack healthy, fast, and trustworthy. This role spans code maintenance and platform quality, the validation and simulation pipeline that gates every release, and the triage-and-fix loop that turns reported road cases into resolved issues. If you take pride in a codebase that stays clean as it scales and a validation system that catches regressions before they reach the road, this is your role. The work is less about any single algorithm and more about the engineering backbone that lets the whole team move quickly without breaking things.\nWhat You'll Do Own and improve core autonomy code: refactoring, interface hygiene, build and runtime performance, and day-to-day maintenance to keep a fast-growing codebase maintainable.\nBuild and operate the validation and regression pipeline, including scenario suites, metric definitions, sim-vs-road consistency checks, and release-gating criteria.\nImprove simulation infrastructure: determinism, version pinning, scenario tooling, and diffing that makes the cause of a regression obvious.\nRun the triage loop: take cases reported from the road and from simulation, reproduce them, localize the root cause, and either fix them or route them to the right owner with a clear, actionable writeup.\nBuild the debugging and observability tooling (logging, replay, per-frame snapshotting) that makes failures fast to diagnose.\nPartner with the algorithm engineers, the simulation team, and operations to keep the path from “case reported” to “fix verified” short and reliable.\nRequired Qualifications B.S. in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\nStrong C++ and Python, with sound instincts for testing, code review, and keeping a large codebase healthy.\nExperience building or operating CI/validation/test infrastructure for a complex software system.\nStrong debugging skills — comfortable reproducing and root-causing issues across an unfamiliar, multi-component stack.\nPreferred Qualifications Experience with simulation, regression frameworks, or validation pipelines for robotics or autonomous systems.\nExperience with data and logging infrastructure (large-scale log replay, observability, debugging tooling).\nFamiliarity with autonomy, robotics, or another real-time, safety-critical domain.\nExperience defining metrics and quality gates that engineering and product teams rely on for release decisions.\n\n#J-18808-Ljbffr","company":"Botauto","rawCompany":"botauto","city":"Houston","state":"TX","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-07-08T03:31:08.676Z","occupations":[{"code":"17-2199.08","title":"Robotics Engineers","slug":"robotics-engineers"},{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"15-1299.08","title":"Computer Systems Engineers/Architects","slug":"computer-systems-engineers-architects"}],"industries":[{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"541715","title":"Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology)","slug":"research-and-development-in-the-physical-engineering-and-life-sciences-except-nanotechnology-and-biotechnology"},{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Algorithm Engineer, Autonomy Planning & Prediction","description":"Company Introduction At Bot Auto, we are revolutionizing the transportation of goods with our cutting-edge autonomous trucks, enhancing the quality of life for communities around the globe.
