Our team is working to ensure Zoox’s hardware and software are safe for operation in the real world through the use of simulation. As part of this process, the team is responsible for designing and running large numbers of simulations to generate key autonomy metrics.
In this role, you will be responsible for producing, maintaining and improving the simulation library. These simulations are run weekly and are the key to generating the team’s metrics which are used to make company-level decisions for the deployment of our driverless robots on public roads. Due to their visibility, these simulations are expected to be of a high caliber as they help to direct the development resources of the company. The ideal candidate will have an attentiveness to details, the ability to communicate across multiple departments and technical levels, as well as the curiosity and drive to dive into specific issues as they arise. You should expect to work with cross-functional partners across Simulation, Planning, Prediction and Perception among others.
