Foster City, CA Remote Hybrid
USD 203k - 300k
C++ Python Machine Learning
Description
Simulation is essential to Zoox’s mission. Zoox uses simulation to develop our driving software, validate our safety, and analyze our real world performance. Our team’s work directly impacts how rapidly and successfully Zoox will achieve its goals.

Our team’s mission is to provide the simulation framework and tools for Zoox to rapidly develop our hardware and software, and to help answer the ultimate question: "Is Zoox’s robot safe to drive on our cities’ streets?"

Sim C++ Framework (Foster City, CA, Seattle, WA and Boston, MA)

  • Role: Architect and develop core simulation foundations - including core simulator framework, communication framework, determinism and reproducibility, performance optimization.
  • Needs: Deep expertise in C++. Experience with multi-threading, and/or distributed real-time systems.
  • Best for: Architects/engineers who care about robust and elegant architecture, correctness, maintainability to deliver foundational technology to boost all Simulation efforts.

  • 8+ years of experience in a related field

Simulation Traffic Modeling & Behavior (Foster City, CA, Seattle, WA and Boston, MA)

  • Role: Populate the simulated roads with intelligent participants. Make simulated cars, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, etc to behave realistically by default, and tunable to create a full gamut of traffic/agent behaviors.
  • 8+ years of experience in a related field

Scenario Automation (Foster City, CA and Seattle, WA)

  • Role: Develop Python platform for large scale generation of autonomous driving scenarios for simulation
  • 8+ years of experience in a related field

Scenario Full Stack (Foster City, CA)

3D Simulator (Sensor Simulation, Procedural Worlds, and HIL) and (Foster City, CA)

  • Role: Develop realistic simulation for all our sensors (camera, lidar, radar, and more). Extend our procedural world generation pipeline for improved realism and performance. Optimize our 3D simulator for end-to-end driving software simulation at scale as well as hardware-in-the-loop simulation.
  • Needs: Fluency in C++. Bonus points for experience in sensor simulation, rendering pipeline, asset pipeline, art tools, or CPU/GPU performance optimization.
