Senior/Staff Software Engineer - 3D Sensor Simulation - Zoox
Redwood City, CA 94065
About the Job
Foster City, CASoftware – Simulation /Full-time /HybridThe Zoox 3D Sensor Simulation team is seeking a realtime 3D simulation professional who is adept at developing Simulation applications that drive Hardware in the Loop (HIL) platforms.
With realtime simulation of sensors (lidar, radar, and cameras) and live 3D rendering analogous to a flight simulator platform, you’ll enable the Zoox autonomy stack to learn, improve, and cooperate with humans.Develop and support high-fidelity sensor simulation and their interfaces to the world, for realtime simulation systems that enable state-of-the-art HIL testing of collision avoidance, planning, and perception.
Collaborate on Verification & Validation of Simulation, leveraging Zoox’s world class autonomous vehicle data management system.The 3D Sensor Simulation team’s work is at the core of creating high fidelity synthetic data and in-the-loop simulation for training and testing autonomous vehicle AI.In this role, you will:Design, implement, and validate 3D sensor simulation subsystems deployed in AV HIL and Cloud simulation platforms.Coordinate and collaborate with HIL, Hardware, and Synthetic Data teams to improve realism of realtime sensor simulation.Partner with Sim V&V engineers to improve metrics ranging from individual sensor fidelity to real-world AV safety reports.Lead 3D simulation engineers and establish best practices to steadily improve trustability and test coverage of HIL simulation use cases.Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and roadmap planning across a diverse set of cross-team projects.Qualifications:2+ years of prior experience as a Technical Lead5+ years of experience developing C++ and PythonSolid understanding of high performance real time simulation pipelinesProject management experience in teams of many peopleExcellent communication skills, both written and verbalBonus Qualifications:Working knowledge of 3D graphics libraries or game enginesExperience with sensor calibration, including cameras, lidar, and/or radarExperience with verification and validation (V&V) for autonomous systemsPrior experience developing autonomy in AVs or other robotics and computer visionCompensationThere are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights.
The salary will range from $200,000 to $285,000.
A sign-on bonus may be part of a compensation package.
Compensation will vary based on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (e.g.
sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.
