About this role
About this role: Pickle is on the hunt for a dynamic and driven Principal Motion Planning Engineer to revolutionize the future of warehouse automation. As the most senior individual contributor on the motion planning team, you will own the technical vision and architecture for the planning, manipulation, navigation, and control software that powers Pickle's autonomous unload robots. You will take on our hardest algorithmic problems — from sample-based and trajectory-optimization planners to contact-aware control and autonomous recovery — set engineering standards across the robotics organization, and multiply the team's impact through deep technical leadership rather than direct people management.
