Full Job Posting

What you’ll do

  • We run vehicle simulations at unprecedented scales in order to ensure we’re releasing a safe product. You’ll support this via improvements to our sim/resim cloud framework and applications that run on this framework. In terms of implementation, this involves a lot of Python coding, interacting with open source packages and various AWS/GCP services. In terms of analysis, we’re constantly looking for bottlenecks that limit scalability or otherwise hinder performance. You’ll put together benchmarking to identify these spots and associated dashboards to track and summarize the information. Then armed with that information, you’ll implement solutions to increase efficiency.
  • It’s not enough to have a framework that is functional - it needs to be intuitive and easy to use. We take our best guesses at this, but things evolve over time based on user interaction - both direct feedback as well as realizing how users are accidentally misusing or misinterpreting the results. VTE supports autonomy, systems, test, and a variety of other teams across the organization. Having an eye for how the system is being used, what users need, and a willingness to engage with these users on future improvements is critical.
  • We also can’t build it all, so we want to make the framework well-documented and as self-serve as possible for others to extend it (while being there to answer questions). For example, when there’s a new portion of the autonomy stack, we want that autonomy team to be able to update resim to add it in themselves so that they can iterate quickly.
  • In order to run logs through resim, we need to first know what logs are interesting. You’ll contribute to the ecosystem of how we manage storing and searching for these logs efficiently, including how we automate indexing the interesting actors and interactions in a scene and how we determine our dataset coverage.
  • Once we’ve run resim, we want to do something with the updated logs. Frequently this involves metrics to analyze the AV’s performance; these metrics could range from low-level performance of a particular detector in the stack to if the AV is meeting high-level business objectives. You’ll both work on the sim/resim cloud framework implementation to make this easy for all developers to add in their metrics and support the metrics implementation themselves as needs arise.
  • What you'll need to succeed:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field and 4+ years of relevant experience (or Master's degree and 2+ years of relevant experience, or PhD)
  • Expertise in writing Python code that’s efficient, well-documented, and well-tested
  • 2+ years’ experience writing scalable applications that execute in a cloud or HPC environment
  • 2+ years’ experience writing software that interacts with AWS and/or GCP services
  • Familiarity with NumPy and scientific programming
  • Willingness and desire to learn how onboard and offboard components interact with each other and propose solutions to improve how developers and testers work with both systems
  • Nice to have (optional):
  • C++ development experience
  • Experience with Kubernetes
  • What we offer you:
  • Competitive compensation packages
  • High-quality individual and family medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Health savings account with available employer match
  • Employer-matched 401(k) retirement plan with immediate vesting
  • Employer-paid group term life insurance and the option to elect voluntary life insurance
  • Paid parental leave and Adoption/Surrogacy support program
  • Paid medical leave
  • Unlimited vacation and 15 paid holidays
  • Daily lunches, snacks, and beverages available in all office locations
  • Pre-tax spending accounts for healthcare and dependent care expenses
  • Pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Monthly wellness stipend
  • Backup child and elder care program
  • Professional development reimbursement
  • Employee assistance program
  • Discounted programs that include legal services, identity theft protection, pet insurance, and more
  • Company and team bonding outlets: employee resource groups, quarterly team activity stipend, and wellness initiatives
