Job Summary
As a Simulation C Platform Engineer you will build the architecture on which simulation relies with a specific focus on our high-speed GPU-based simulation framework. Our success depends on you building solid deterministic foundations that enable rapid scaling of our ML training pipelines and ensure seamless integration across the entire self-driving software stack.
- Architect and support foundational simulation software focusing heavily on execution frameworks and latency optimization.
- Own the interface between our high-speed GPU simulation framework and the rest of the self-driving software stack.
- Improve simulation performance directly and build self-serve systems that accelerate the work of autonomy and ML engineers.
- Ensure the deterministic execution precise timing and reproducibility of all simulation results at scale.
- Collaborate closely with ML experts to bridge fidelity gaps between fast simulations and high-fidelity 3D environments.
- Bachelors or Masters in computer science mathematics physics or a related field.
- 6 years of experience in a related software engineering field.
- Deep expertise in modern C software development and system architecture.
- System design experience specifically building deterministic software in distributed computer clusters.
- Strong understanding of execution frameworks latency optimization and memory management.
- Familiarity with spatial reinforcement learning or modern ML frameworks (e.g. JAX PyTorch).
- Automotive robotics or AAA video game industry experience.
- Familiarity with PubSub systems.
