Posted on Wednesday, May 3, 2023

Simulation is essential for Zoox to rapidly iterate on our driving software and hardware, and to validate our safety before we drive in the real world. We create virtual worlds to challenge our robots, from real world data, entirely novel scenarios, or a combination of both. Our simulations need to run at a huge scale to cover everything that might happen, and to help prove our driving to be safe.

As a simulation core engineer you build the architecture on which simulation relies - from the fundamental concepts of the simulated world, through to how simulation interacts with the whole software and hardware stack at Zoox. Our success depends on you building solid foundations which enable rapid and efficient development by all our teams, inside and outside of simulation.

Responsibilities

Architect and support foundational sim software
Own the interface between simulation and rest of the self-driving software stack
Improve simulation performance: both directly and by building tools to help others
Build systems that allow users to self serve, or to get help, to accelerate their own work
Ensure the reproducibility of simulation results

Qualifications

A BS in Computer Science or a similar discipline.
4+ years industry experience writing C++
Mathematics skills such as trigonometry and linear algebra

Bonus Qualifications

Automotive, robotics, or video game industry experience
System design experience, especially of software in computer clusters
Experience in performance optimization, from single-threaded applications to whole clusters
Experience in data science and machine learning
Familiarity with Python
