Senior​/Software Engineer - Simulator

Senior/Staff Software Engineer - Simulator Architect and develop core simulation foundations for driving software.

Location:

Foster City, California, United States

Compensation: $203,000 - $300,000 USD per year

Simulation is essential to Zoox's mission. Zoox uses simulation to develop our driving software, validate our safety, and analyze our real world performance. Our team's work directly impacts how rapidly and successfully Zoox will achieve its goals.

Our team's mission is to provide the simulation framework and tools for Zoox to rapidly develop our hardware and software, and to help answer the ultimate question: 'Is Zoox's robot safe to drive on our cities' streets?'

Architect and develop core simulation foundations - including core simulator framework, communication framework, determinism and reproducibility, performance optimization.

Deep expertise in C++. Experience with multi-threading, and/or distributed real-time systems.

Architects/engineers who care about robust and elegant architecture, correctness, maintainability to deliver foundational technology to boost all Simulation efforts.
