As a Simulation C++ Framework engineer, you'll architect and support foundational simulation software, improve performance, and ensure reproducibility while collaborating with teams at Zoox.
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 C++ Framework 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.
In this role, you will:
- Architect and support foundational simulation software and framework
- 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
- 8+ years of experience in a related field
Qualifications
- A BS in Computer Science or a similar discipline
- 4+ years industry experience writing C++
- System design experience, especially of software in computer clusters
- Experience in performance optimization, from single-threaded applications to whole clusters
Bonus Qualifications
- Automotive, robotics, or video game industry experience
- Familiarity with ROS and PubSub systems
