Senior Software Engineer, Mapping and Routing
Serve Robotics- Full Time
- Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates should have a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Operations Research, or a related field. Proven experience in algorithm development with a strong emphasis on operational research methodologies is required. Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, Kotlin, or C++ is essential, along with a solid background in machine learning, AI, operational research, and data analysis. Strong mathematics skills and exceptional problem-solving, analytical, and quantitative skills are necessary. A PhD in a related field and experience with GIS, transportation, logistics, or autonomous vehicles are considered bonus qualifications.
The Software Engineer will design and build a scalable, efficient, and robust robotaxis dispatch service. They will craft and refine algorithms for real-time dispatch optimization and route planning, applying operational research methods to solve complex dispatch problems. Integration of optimization algorithms into the robotaxi platform and building simulation models to test dispatch optimization algorithms’ effectiveness are key tasks. The engineer will also analyze data, forecast demand, and model transport networks to improve service efficiency.
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.
