We're Cruise, a self-driving service designed for the cities we love.
We’re building the world’s most advanced, self-driving vehicles to safely connect people to the places, things, and experiences they care about. We believe self-driving vehicles will help save lives, reshape cities, give back time in transit, and restore freedom of movement for many.
Cruisers have the opportunity to grow and develop while learning from leaders at the forefront of their fields. With a culture of internal mobility, there's an opportunity to thrive in a variety of disciplines. This is a place for dreamers and doers to succeed.
If you are looking to play a part in making a positive impact in the world by advancing the revolutionary work of self-driving cars, join us.
Simulation is an incredibly important function at Cruise, accelerating our autonomous vehicle development, testing, and deployment through specialized frameworks and tools. The Simulation and Test Infrastructure team owns the platforms that facilitate the scheduling, execution, and data flow of autonomous vehicle simulation and testing at an extremely high scale.
The team is responsible for the in-house built Hydra workload scheduler, which is the platform for Cruise’s simulations, our build and test pipelines, and other transient workloads. It represents a large portion of Cruise’s compute consumption costs.
We are looking for an experienced and technical Senior Engineering Manager to own this team’s roadmap, deliver and run high-quality and efficient systems, and support the growth and development of the team.
