Overview
- 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.
