Build high-performance, scalable simulation infrastructure and tooling for autonomous vehicle development. Design systems for scenario generation, simulation execution, synthetic data, and reinforcement-learning workflows. Collaborate with ML, perception, and controls teams to improve realism, performance, and validation pipelines while writing production-quality C++ and Python code, contributing to architecture, testing, and documentation.
About the Role
We are building the next generation of autonomous trucking technology to make freight transportation safer, more efficient, and more scalable.
Our Simulation team develops the virtual environments, testing infrastructure, and AI-driven simulation systems that enable rapid development and validation of autonomous driving software. We leverage large-scale simulation, synthetic data generation, reinforcement learning environments, and emerging world-model technologies to accelerate autonomy development.
We are seeking a software engineer with strong C++ expertise and a passion for building scalable simulation systems. This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of autonomous driving, simulation, robotics, and AI.
