Description
Simulation is key to ensuring the safety of autonomous vehicles at Zoox. In this critical role, you will ensure Zoox’s simulation framework is a trustable platform for AI driving software validation, by analyzing the accuracy and realism of the simulator, and how effective the sim platform is at predicting real-world driving performance. You will work cross-functionally with our AI/autonomy teams, systems engineering and safety analysis teams, QA teams, and more, to measure and guide improvements to our simulation platform.
Responsibilities
- Derive requirements and perform system verification/validation for simulation frameworks and tools.
- Drive planning and execution by decomposing system needs into projects, tools, and/or features that deliver incremental value to teams and customers.
- Build metrics and tools which measure and continuously monitor simulation validity in alignment with company objectives.
- Lead analyses of tools/frameworks and communicate results across stakeholders, driving continuous improvement to software components.
- Collaborate with Engineering Managers to ensure design, implementation, and programs are on track, and regularly drive consensus among diverse partners on technical projects.
- Develop clear proposals and design documents for large-scope or multi-functional initiatives.
- Design and build statistically-sound analyses, sampling methods, validation criteria, and development processes for building highly relevant datasets for evaluation applications.
- Build tools to mine large-scale logs and simulated data for the most interesting situations.
- Typical workload: 30% validation strategy 30% coding, 40% dataset development and statistical analysis.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience in decomposing and analyzing large, complex systems.
- Experience in systems engineering, requirements authoring, system analysis, and validation/testing.
- Experience developing, specifying, and/or validating simulation-based testing technologies for autonomous, robotics, or other complex integrated systems.
- Fluent in data-based and analytical engineering problem-solving practices, including using paretos and root cause analysis.
- Excellent critical and analytical thinking skills: you can interpret what the data tells us and which analyses will reveal impactful conclusions.
- Databricks, Jupyter Notebooks experience.
- Proficient with Python, SQL, or similar for analysis of large datasets.
- Clear track record of effective collaboration with data scientists, machine learning engineers, and platform teams, driving continuous delivery of quality results.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and operating under ambiguity.
- Strong communication skills and experience addressing diverse audiences.
- BS, MS, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or equivalent experience

Frequently Asked Questions
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
