  • Build scalable systems for scenario generation, simulation execution, and evaluation

  • Develop simulation tooling used by Perception, Prediction, Planning, and Controls teams

  • Improve simulation realism, scalability, and operational efficiency

  • Collaborate across teams to support testing, validation, and development workflows

Develop AI-Driven Simulation Capabilities



  • Build infrastructure supporting reinforcement learning and closed-loop evaluation workflows

  • Develop systems for synthetic data generation and automated scenario creation

  • Collaborate with ML engineers and researchers to integrate learned models into simulation environments

  • Explore emerging approaches in world modeling, agent simulation, and Physical AI

Engineering Excellence



  • Write production-quality C++ and Python code

  • Participate in architecture and technical design discussions

  • Build reliable, maintainable, and well-tested systems

  • Contribute to code reviews and engineering best practices

  • Create clear technical documentation for systems and tools

Required Qualifications



  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

  • 3+ years of professional software development experience

  • Strong expertise in modern C++ (C++17 or newer preferred)

  • Experience designing and developing production software systems

  • Strong understanding of:


    • Multithreading and concurrency

    • Memory management

    • Performance optimization

    • Software architecture and system design

  • Experience working with simulation, robotics, gaming, or autonomous systems

Preferred Qualifications



  • Experience with simulation platforms such as:


    • CARLA

    • Isaac Sim

    • Unreal Engine

  • Familiarity with reinforcement learning concepts and workflows

  • Experience with agent-based simulation or closed-loop simulation systems

  • Experience building synthetic data generation pipelines

  • Experience with ROS or ROS2

  • Experience with cloud-native infrastructure such as Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, or GCP

  • Familiarity with machine learning infrastructure and large-scale data processing systems

Nice to Have



  • Experience in autonomous driving or robotics applications

  • Experience with multi-agent simulation systems

  • Familiarity with world models, generative simulation, or Physical AI technologies

  • Experience with sensor simulation, including camera, lidar, or radar

  • Experience with physics engines and real-time systems

  • Experience with CUDA, OpenGL, Vulkan, or graphics programming

What We're Looking For



  • Strong software engineering fundamentals

  • Systems-thinking mindset and attention to detail

  • Curiosity about simulation, AI, robotics, and autonomous systems

  • Ability to work across simulation, infrastructure, and machine learning domains

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with evolving technical challenges

  • Passion for building the next generation of intelligent simulation platforms
