Senior / Staff Software Engineer, Simulation Platform
Waabi- Full Time
- Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates must have 5+ years of expertise in implementing 3D graphics algorithms using Vulkan and OpenGL, and 5+ years of experience in software development with modern C++ and Python. Experience with neural rendering techniques such as Gaussian Splatting and NeRFs is required, along with familiarity with PyTorch or TensorFlow. Strong mathematical skills and a solid understanding of 3D linear algebra and probabilistic techniques are essential. A Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in computer science, mathematics, physics, or a related field is preferred, along with experience in generative models for 3D content pipelines using applications like Houdini, Maya, or Blender.
The Senior/Staff Software Engineer will research, implement, and optimize state-of-the-art 3D rendering of sensor data, leveraging GenAI/ML to enhance traditional 3D graphics. They will develop realism metrics with V&V to demonstrate the measurable impact of improved sensor fidelity, and collaborate with Perception, Hardware, and Safety teams to enhance the realism of real-time sensor simulations and high-fidelity synthetic data. Additionally, they will improve rendering and tooling for generating realistic data at scale.
Develops autonomous electric ride-hailing vehicles
Zoox focuses on creating a fully integrated autonomous ride-hailing service designed specifically for urban transportation. Unlike other companies that modify existing vehicles for self-driving capabilities, Zoox has engineered its own vehicle from the ground up, optimizing it for safety, efficiency, and passenger comfort. The vehicle features advanced sensors, cameras, and AI systems that allow it to navigate complex city environments. It can carry up to four passengers in a spacious interior, ensuring a pleasant ride experience. Safety is paramount, with rigorous testing and collaboration with regulatory bodies to meet high standards. Additionally, Zoox's vehicles are fully electric, promoting sustainability by reducing emissions. The company also develops a user-friendly ride-hailing platform that uses data analytics to improve routing and reduce wait times. Zoox aims to enhance urban mobility while prioritizing safety and environmental responsibility.
