The Systems Engineering and Integration group at Zoox is looking for a senior GPU performance engineer for our L5 autonomous driving platforms. At Zoox, we are committed to our mission of autonomous driving with real-time, low-latency workload optimization to deliver ride services with increasingly complex driving situations (and therefore more challenging workload situations, particularly with a GPU as an integral portion of the architecture).
In this position, you will be part of a systems team with expertise in performance modeling, analysis, and validation of system-level features for autonomous driving that must meet real-time latency and utilization constraints.

Responsibilities

  • Apply your C++ and GPU performance skills to develop and maintain functional and performance models
  • Design, develop, and document tools to analyze deep learning workloads and other workloads of interest to validate and study new features
  • Work with developers to understand new workloads and features in order to analyze their performance
  • Optimize critical aspects of the system running on GPU architectures
  • Build and improve tools for coverage analysis, end-to-end latency, and utilization reporting
  • Develop real-time / low-overhead monitoring systems on the vehicle
  • Thrive in a matrix environment with many experienced software developers and performance engineers

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Architecture, Computer Science or related field (EE, ECE, etc) or equivalent experience
  • Strong programming ability in C, C++. Scripting in Perl and/or Python
  • Knowledge of GPU compute and performance frameworks and APIs
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, highly collaborative, dynamic environment
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

Bonus Qualifications

  • Knowledge of NVIDIA APIs (CUDA, NVML, CUPTI, TensorRT, CUDNN, CUBLAS, Triton) and MLPerf
  • Successful product development experience in performance modeling and analysis
