Job DescriptionSimulation 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?"Learn more about our Simulation teamSim 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 fieldSimulation 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 fieldScenario Automation (Foster City, CA and Seattle, WA)Role: Develop Python platform for large scale generation of autonomous driving scenarios for simulation8+ years of experience in a related fieldScenario Editor (Foster City, CA)Role: Build Scenario Editor for creating effective scenarios and unlock the full potential for simulation.8+ years of experience in a related field3D Simulator (Sensor Simulation, Procedural Worlds, and HiL) and (Foster City, CA and Seattle, WA)Role: Develop realistic simulation for all our sensors (camera, lidar, radar, and more).
