Senior/Staff Software Engineer - HIL Sensor Simulation

Zoox is transforming mobility-as-a-service by developing a fully autonomous, purpose-built fleet designed for AI to drive and humans to enjoy.

The 3D Simulation group at Zoox is looking for 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 in-the-loop simulation and high fidelity synthetic data for training and testing autonomous vehicle AI.

There 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.
