About the role
- Design, develop, and maintain autonomous driving simulation platforms, including physics-based simulations and sensor simulations.
- Implement realistic vehicle, sensor, and environmental models within the simulation framework.
- Design and execute simulation experiments to validate and verify the performance of perception, planning, and control algorithms.
- Collaborate with software engineers, robotics engineers, and data scientists to integrate simulation tools into the development pipeline.
- Work closely with the autonomous driving algorithm team to understand their testing requirements and design simulation scenarios accordingly.
- Analyze simulation results and provide actionable insights to improve the performance and reliability of autonomous driving systems.
- Stay up to date with the latest advancements in simulation technology and incorporate them into our development processes.
- Implement realistic virtual environments, including roads, traffic, weather conditions, and sensor models, to replicate real-world driving scenarios.
- Integrate autonomous driving software into the simulation platform and ensure seamless interaction between the two systems.
- Perform validation and verification of autonomous driving algorithms by conducting simulated tests and analyzing results.
Requirements
- BS (M.S or Ph.D. preferred) degree in a relevant engineering program.
- Excellent programming skills (C/C++/Python, etc.)
- Strong understanding of physics, mathematics, and software development principles
- Understanding of self-driving stack and cloud technologies
- Project experience aligned to simulation, autonomous vehicles, or robotics.
- Knowledge of autonomous driving technologies, including perception, localization, path planning, and control systems
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
- Experience with the Unreal engine.
- Proficient in working with cloud technologies (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
- Skilled in working with middleware development and integration (e.g., ROS/ROS2)
