Responsibilities

• Create, maintain, and expand internal tools for simulating and evaluating Autopilot vehicle behavior, focusing on accelerating the development and validation of our models
• Design and implement tools and dashboards to analyze simulation results, identify trends, and visualize key performance indicators
• Increase our scenario creation throughput by servicing the tooling requests of our Scenario Creation team
• Work closely with the simulation team and Autopilot organization to understand workflows and develop tools that enhance existing capabilities and unlock new ones
• Own the frontend, backend, and infrastructure of multiple applications, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security
• Drive projects from inception to completion, presenting work directly to organizational leadership

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or proof of exceptional skills in related fields with practical software engineering experience, or equivalent experience
• Strong proficiency in the following languages: Go, Python, TypeScript
• Familiarity with 3D work, such as Three.js, is highly beneficial
• Experience with containerization using Docker and Kubernetes
• Strong knowledge of relational and non-relational database systems (e.g., PostgreSQL, Mongo)
• Outstanding interpersonal, communication, and collaboration skills
• Passion for autonomy, simulation, and accelerating the future of self-driving technology
