This role involves architecting and developing core simulation frameworks, enhancing realistic traffic behaviors, and creating platforms for autonomous driving scenarios.
Simulation is essential to Zoox’s mission. Zoox uses simulation to develop our driving software, validate our safety, and analyze our real world performance. Our team’s work directly impacts how rapidly and successfully Zoox will achieve its goals.
Our team’s mission is to provide the simulation framework and tools for Zoox to rapidly develop our hardware and software, and to help answer the ultimate question: "Is Zoox’s robot safe to drive on our cities’ streets?"
