  • Contribute to the adaptation of our current planner to multiple GPU architectures with different resources

  • Optimize ML models for latency and GPU memory usage

  • Support engineers within Planner as a subject matter expert on CUDA & GPU performance

  • Qualifications
  • BS in computer science or related field and 8+ years of experience.

  • Strong knowledge of CUDA as applied to recent GPU microarchitectures (e.g., Ampere, Blackwell) and experience debugging/optimizing GPU kernels using tools like Nsight.

  • Strong knowledge of C++ and experience in large code bases, comfortable in Linux development environments.

  • Experience in development, debugging, and profiling of complex multiprocess systems (e.g., robotic systems, game engines).

  • Bonus Qualifications
