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?"
Sim Core Architecture
- Role: Architect and develop core simulation foundations - including core simulator framework, communication framework, determinism and reproducibility, performance optimization.
- Needs: Deep expertise in C++. Experience with multi-threading, and/or distributed real-time systems.
- Best for: Architects/engineers who care about robust and elegant architecture, correctness, maintainability to deliver foundational technology to boost all Simulation efforts.

3D Simulator (Sensor Simulation, Procedural Worlds, and HiL)
- Role: Develop realistic simulation for all our sensors (camera, lidar, radar, and more). Extend our procedural world generation pipeline for improved realism and performance. Optimize our 3D simulator for end-to-end driving software simulation at scale as well as hardware-in-the-loop simulation.
- Needs: Fluency in C++. Bonus points for experience in sensor simulation, rendering pipeline, asset pipeline, art tools, or CPU/GPU performance optimization.
Simulation at Scale
- Role: Build the foundation on which simulation relies - from the fundamental concepts of the simulated world and time, through the architecture of our simulation modules, to the data flows and job scheduling of simulations in our supercomputer clusters on site and in the cloud.

Release Engineer
- Role: Helping to deliver new versions of the simulation framework reliably and efficiently
- More Info: Simulation Release Engineer
Simulation Pipeline Orchestration
- Role: Responsible for speeding up the execution pipeline, making it more usable, and enabling us to run at orders of magnitude larger scale.
- More Info: Simulation Pipeline Orchestration
Scenario Generation
- Role: Develop Python platform for large scale generation of autonomous driving scenarios for simulation
