Job Summary
The Zoox 3D Sensor Simulation teams work is at the core of creating in-the-loop simulation and high fidelity synthetic data for training and testing autonomous vehicle AI. We are looking for a 3D Engine professional who spans both modern 3DGS techniques and traditional 3D graphics including ray tracing and PBR rendering.
This role lies at the heart of 3D simulation at Zoox ranging from cinema-quality offline rendering for software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulation to optimized realtime 3D graphics for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation. With sensor simulation (cameras lidar and radar) youll enable the Zoox robotics autonomy stack to learn improve and enhance the mobility of humans.
In this role you will:
Design implement and validate 3D rendering software for sensor simulation deployed in autonomous vehicle (AV) simulation pipelines.
Collaborate with Synthetic Data and HIL Sim teams to develop rendering novel applications that combine 3DGS and polygonal mesh assets.
Optimize performance and realism of realtime 3D sensor simulation including cameras lidar and radar.
Partner with Sim V&V engineers to improve metrics ranging from individual sensor fidelity to real-world AV safety reports.
Lead 3D simulation engineers and establish best practices to steadily improve trustability and test coverage of SIL/HIL simulation use cases.
Qualifications:
2 years of prior experience as a Technical Lead
7 years of experience developing C Python and GPU programming
Experience integrating 3DGS implementations with traditional 3D graphics rendering
Expertise with GPU programming such as Compute shaders or CUDA
Solid understanding of high performance real time simulation pipelines
Bonus Qualifications:
Experience with sensor calibration including cameras lidar and/or radar
Experience with verification and validation (V&V) for autonomous systems
Prior experience developing autonomy in AVs or other robotics and computer vision
