Software Engineer - Simulation Graphics and AI/ML

Zoox is seeking 3D graphics engineers for its 3D Simulation group to simulate sensors like lidar, radar, and cameras. This role involves combining modern graphics with Generative AI/Machine Learning techniques to enhance simulation realism. The engineer will collaborate with Sensor Sim, Perception, and V&V teams to improve sensor simulation fidelity, contributing to the creation of high-fidelity synthetic data for training autonomous vehicle AI and real-time sensor data for hardware-in-the-loop simulation. Key responsibilities include researching and optimizing 3D rendering of sensor data using GenAI/ML and GPU-accelerated Path Tracing, developing realism metrics, and improving rendering tools for large-scale data generation.
