Simulation is at the core of Waabi’s approach to autonomous vehicle development. Our closed-loop simulation engine built with the latest in generative AI technologies, Waabi World, provides an extremely realistic environment for training and evaluating self-driving systems. The Simulation Platform team is responsible for delivering a modular and scalable platform which integrates the onboard autonomy system, intelligent actor models, and sensor simulation.

You will...

• Contribute to and improve our state of the art self-driving simulator Waabi World to accelerate autonomous vehicle (AV) development.
• Improve the scalability and performance of the simulation platform to run simulations efficiently at an extremely large scale.
• Design and implement orchestration software between simulation subcomponents including the autonomy system, data-driven actor models, and sensor simulation powered by generative AI.
• Participate and share ideas in technical and architecture discussions, collaborating with researchers and engineers.
• Work closely with internal users to understand their requirements and workflows and propose new features to streamline and improve their experience using the simulator.
• Advocate and set patterns for software development.
• Drive complex cross-functional technical projects with impact across Waabi’s systems and company-wide impact.

Qualifications:

• MS/PhD or Bachelors degree with a minimum of 5 years of industry experience in Computer Science, Robotics and/or similar technical field(s) of study.
• Experience with a variety of backend technologies and languages. Examples: Rust (Preferred), C++, Python.
• Experience developing and maintaining production quality software, versus only creating prototypes/proof of concepts.
• Linux/Unix experience
• Understanding of test-driven and API-driven development methodologies.
• Experience designing interfaces between systems.
• Experience with multi-threaded system design/architecture, algorithms, data structure design, and systems-level programming.
• Experience working with cross-functional partners/stakeholders when building software frameworks.
• Experience with software performance, optimization, and profiling.
• Experience with concurrency and determinism.
• Open-minded and collaborative team player with willingness to help others.
• Passionate about self-driving technologies, solving hard problems, and creating innovative solutions.

Bonus/nice to have:

• Experience with game engine development, simulation, or other similar application runtime development.
• Experience in autonomous systems, robotics or machine learning.
• Experience working in distributed systems or emulation at scale.
• Docker & Bazel experience
• Experience building software systems from scratch.
• Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment.
• Experience working with accelerators.
• Experience with sensor data processing.
