Software Engineer - Simulation C++ Framework

Software Engineer - Simulation C++ Framework Build the architecture for simulation software, enabling rapid and efficient development for autonomous driving. Location: San Francisco Bay Area Compensation: $160,000 - 235,000 USD / year About The Role Simulation C++ Framework Engineer Simulation is essential for Zoox to rapidly iterate on our driving software and hardware, and to validate our safety before we drive in the real world. We create virtual worlds to challenge our robots, from real world data, entirely novel scenarios, or a combination of both. Our simulations need to run at a huge scale to cover everything that might happen, and to help prove our driving to be safe. As a Simulation C++ Framework engineer you build the architecture on which simulation relies - from the fundamental concepts of the simulated world, through to how simulation interacts with the whole software and hardware stack at Zoox. Our success depends on you building solid foundations which enable rapid and efficient development by all our teams, inside and outside of simulation. In this role, you will: Architect and support foundational simulation software and framework Own the interface between simulation and rest of the self-driving software stack Improve simulation performance: both directly and by building tools to help others Build systems that allow users to self serve, or to get help, to accelerate their own work Ensure the reproducibility of simulation results Qualifications A BS in Computer Science or a similar discipline 4+ years industry experience writing C++ System design experience, especially of software in computer clusters Experience in performance optimization, from single-threaded applications to whole clusters Bonus Qualifications Automotive, robotics, or video game industry experience Experience in data science and machine learning Mathematics skills such as trigonometry and linear algebra $190,000 - $270,000 a year There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. A sign-on bonus may be offered as part of the compensation package. The listed range applies only to the base salary. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level.
