About the role
Forterra is a fast-growing company at the early stages of growth. We hire talented people with diverse backgrounds who are ready to help build a technology ecosystem that supports our defense and commercial partners.
This role is focused on bridging planning algorithms with real-world vehicle systems, ensuring that autonomy performs reliably under real-time, on-vehicle constraints. You will be part of a team tackling planning problems across diverse domains such as complex, unstructured off-road terrain, coordinated formation control, and semi-structured environments like logistics yards. Platforms range from small robotic vehicles to full-scale trucks.
In addition to algorithm development, this role requires deep involvement in on-vehicle integration, system bring-up, debugging, and performance validation in field environments. Members of our Behavior Generation team must be resourceful, hands-on, and capable of owning problems end-to-end—from design through deployment on physical systems.
What you'll do
Develop real-time (deterministic, randomized, and optimization-based) path and motion planning algorithms for various vehicle types (Ackermann, skid-steered, wheeled, tracked) using C++ in a Linux environment Integrate planning algorithms with on-vehicle systems, including perception, localization, controls, and platform interfaces Deploy, test, and debug autonomy software directly on vehicles, addressing real-time constraints, system latency, and hardware limitations Design and implement messaging for synchronization, logging and debugging across distributed systems Own end-to-end validation: simulation → HIL → on-vehicle testing, ensuring consistency and performance across environments Diagnose and resolve issues observed in field testing, including edge cases arising from sensing, actuation, and environment variability Work closely with cross-functional teams (Perception, Controls, Platform, Systems Engineering) to ensure robust and reliable vehicle behavior Travel up to 20% to support on-site vehicle integration and testing Qualifications
BS, MS, or PhD in Robotics, Applied Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field Strong background in path planning, motion planning, or related autonomy domains Strong programming skills in C++ Solid software engineering fundamentals: system design, unit/integration testing, debugging Experience deploying or integrating software on physical robotic or automotive platforms Ability to deliver production-quality software in a continuously integrated environment Demonstrates clean, maintainable code and documentation practices Strong problem-solving skills with a proactive, hands-on approach Preferred Qualifications
Prior experience with unmanned ground vehicles operating in outdoor environments Experience with on-vehicle debugging, telemetry analysis, and real-time system profiling Familiarity with robotics middleware (e.g., ROS/ROS2 or similar frameworks) Experience working across perception–planning–controls interfaces Expertise with GPU or ML toolkits such as CUDA, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and/or TensorRT
