Simulation is essential to Zooxs mission. Zoox uses simulation to develop our driving software validate safety and analyze our realworld performance. Our teams work directly impacts how rapidly and successfully Zoox will achieve its goals.
For our simulators to successfully validate our autonomous driving stack we need to realistically model and replicate the worlds we will be driving in. This includes modeling and simulating a wide variety of realistic behaviors for vehicles cyclists and pedestrians.
As a Manager you will be leading and managing a team of engineers focusing on our Agent Behaviors. This team specifically solves the challenge of simulating realistic vehicle and pedestrian traffic. It is critical to replicate a wide range of behaviors that we encounter while driving in real cities.
In this role you will:
Lead a team developing the state of the art in traffic and behavior modeling to capture realworld behaviors for simulated cars pedestrians bicyclists motorcyclists and other moving entities that populate our simulated worlds.
Manage a team of 5 world class engineers inspiring them and supporting their career growth.
Build technical roadmaps that meet product requirements and lead work on the team towards those goals.
Leverage technical expertise to communicate with engineering leads assessing technical tradeoffs and their impacts on project scope risk and timelines to meet product goals
Develop processes that promote organizational efficiencies and improve speed of alignment decisionmaking and
