Description

Planning Software Engineer III (Project Based) This is a project-based employee role supporting the development and evolution of ASI's autonomous vehicle planning platforms. Development efforts may span multiple product phases and markets, with scope and duration driven by business needs, customer deployments, and field validation cycles. About Us At Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI), we are a global leader in vehicle automation solutions. Our technology enables safe, efficient, and scalable automation across industries such as agriculture, construction, landscaping, solar, and more. With a commitment to innovation and excellence, ASI continues to push the boundaries of autonomous technology. Our mission is to help customers reach their potential through innovative robotic solutions. We operate according to our core values: Safe, Simple, Transparent, Growth, Humble, and Attention to Detail. About the Role We are hiring a Planning Software Engineer II/III to focus on designing, developing, testing, and maintaining core planning software that enables autonomous vehicle behavior across multiple ASI markets, including agriculture, landscaping, and construction, with an initial focus on agricultural area coverage planning. This role works on geometry- and algorithm-heavy problems related to path planning, coverage strategies, and vehicle intelligence, ensuring solutions remain robust and compatible across shared platforms. Engineers collaborate closely with a Technical Lead and cross-functional teams, with scope expanding by level from feature implementation to greater ownership of technical decisions, architectural contributions, and cross-market impact. This is a hybrid role based in Logan, Utah, with three days onsite and two days remote; candidates must reside in Utah and be able to travel to Logan as needed.
