Software Engineer - Scaling 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.

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 that help to ensure Zoox’s hardware and software operate as expected.

In this role, you will help us scale to meet future milestones by finding ways to simplify complex pipelines, productionizing scripts to generate and verify simulations, design creative solutions to problems that arise as we scale, as well as using our internal tools to build new simulations from scratch.  You should expect to work with cross-functional partners across mapping, simulation, verification, planning and perception among others.

You will be responsible for producing critical metrics that drive company-level decisions for the deployment of our driverless robots on public roads.
