Mission Summary:
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Actions Sustaining Team to diagnose, develop and deploy solutions to solve the immediate challenges facing our deployed autonomous software. You will play a pivotal role in resolving issues that will help accelerate the growth of our autonomous capabilities. What you'll be doing:
We encourage a hybrid schedule with in-office time at one of our locations in Boston, Pittsburgh, or Las Vegas to support collaboration, or this role can be fully remote. The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors including but not limited to specific skills, experience and expertise, role location, certifications, licenses, and business needs. The estimated compensation range listed in this job posting reflects base salary only. This role may include additional forms of compensation such as a bonus or company equity. The recruiter assigned to this role can share more information about the specific compensation and benefit details associated with this role during the hiring process.
Candidates for certain positions are eligible to participate in Motional's benefits program. Motional's benefits include but are not limited to medical, dental, vision, 401k with a company match, health saving accounts, life insurance, pet insurance, and more.
Salary Range $172,000-$229,000 USD 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. Formed as a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Group and Aptiv, Motional is fundamentally changing how people move through their lives. Headquartered in Boston, Motional has operations in the U.S and Asia. For more information, visit and follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube. Motional AD Inc. is an EOE.

You will play a pivotal role in resolving issues that will help accelerate the growth of our autonomous capabilities. What you'll be doing:
- Technical Discovery: Deep-dive into complex issues within the Planning and Controls stack reported by the triage team. You will parse logs and replay simulation data to find the "why" behind anomalous vehicle actions.
- Accelerated Resolutions: Own the deployment of software fixes. When a business need arises for an immediate solution, you will lead the development, testing, and deployment .
- Tooling & Automation: Identify improvements in existing workflows. You will develop internal tooling and scripts to expedite log analysis, automate common patterns, and improve the efficiency of the entire team.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the technical liaison between teams to ensure alignment between on-road issues and current development work.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field. A Master's or Ph.D. is preferred
- 3+ years of C++ software development proficiency, with a focus on building high-performance and resilient systems.
- Comfortable navigating and contributing to large, complex codebases where modularity and documentation are key.
- Proven track record of delivering software in a production environment, including familiarity with CI/CD, version control at scale, and rigorous release cycles.
- Passionate about a driverless future and understand the high stakes of deploying software that interacts with the physical world.
- Experience in Jira, Confluence and Gitlab
- Background in robotics middleware (ROS, DDS) or autonomous systems.
