Job Details
The Zoox 3D Sensor Simulation team is seeking a realtime 3D simulation professional who is adept at developing Simulation applications that leverage Hardware in the Loop (HIL) platforms, which include both embedded sensors (cameras, lidars, radars) and live 3D rendering. Analogous to a flight simulator platform, you’ll enable autonomous “pilots” to learn, improve, and cooperate with humans.
Develop high-fidelity sensor simulation and realtime sensor fusion to enable state-of-the-art HIL simulation, including perception, planning, and collision avoidance. Collaborate on sensor simulation Verification & Validation, 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 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 Lead
- 5+ years of experience developing C++ and Python
- Solid understanding of 3D graphics and simulation pipelines
- Project management experience in teams of many people
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
Compensation
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.
