Motional

We are a driverless technology company that builds Level 4 autonomous driving systems and the computing infrastructure they need. Our aim is to make transportation safer and more accessible.

Our work includes:

• Developing 3D computer vision and machine learning for mapping and localization. This involves methods to track environmental changes, update maps, and combine visual data with LIDAR-derived maps.
• Creating the Core Onboard Runtime Environment (CORE), which is the computational backbone for our self-driving system. This covers the architecture and implementation of on-vehicle systems like embedded software, runtime middleware, IPC, AI accelerators, sensor pipelines, operating systems, and simulation tools.
• Accelerating machine learning to speed up model training and improve how quickly we deploy autonomous vehicle services.
• Designing, developing, and integrating a Remote Vehicle Assistance system using C++ software, low-latency video encoding, and network communication.
• Conducting machine learning research for autonomous driving prediction and planning, including future prediction, motion planning, agent simulation, and scenario generation.

Our notable projects and publications include nuScenes, PointPillars, Point Painting, PBP Trajectory Prediction, and DriveIRL.

Our mission is to create safer and more accessible transportation. We achieve this through our core values of quality, rigor, and innovation. We prioritize safety, reliability, and accessibility in everything we do.

We cultivate a culture that values innovation, excellence, collaboration, inclusion, and constant improvement. Our employees often work in a fast-paced environment across multiple time zones, working together on various teams, including engineering, product, operations, LIDAR localization, mapping, perception, AI/ML, hardware, safety, autonomy integration, software, and testing.

Many roles offer hybrid work, usually asking for two or three in-office days per week in Boston, Pittsburgh, or Las Vegas. Some positions in these same cities are fully remote. Internships in Singapore can have flexible hours and remote options, but require you to live in Singapore for the internship period.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) with company match, health savings accounts, life insurance, and pet insurance. Depending on the role, compensation might also include bonuses or company equity. We also offer flexible hours and remote work options for some positions and locations.
