Job Description
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 human behaviors specifically traffic and other pedestrian behaviors. The challenge is that the simulated humans need to show realistic and representative behavior we want our agents to jaywalk as a human might do and also replicate a wide range of behaviors that we encounter while driving in real cities.
In this role you will:
- Populate the simulated roads with intelligent participants.
- Create simulated cars pedestrians bicyclists motorcyclists etc. to behave realistically by default and tunable to create a full gamut of traffic/agent behaviors.
- Push the state of the art in traffic and behavior modeling to capture realworld behaviors as closely as possible.
- Work closely with various teams including AI software teams QA and Validation Engineers to push autonomous driving forward.
