In this role, you will:

• Develop Python platform for large scale generation of autonomous driving scenarios for simulation
• Procedurally generate all relevant driving scenarios in a given geographic area, by placing entities in 3D space, defining behaviors, etc. to inform the bounds of how Zoox systems perform
• Help define scenario concepts that need to be supported in simulation, and the associated scenario description file format(s).

• A BS in Computer Science or related field
• 4 years industry experience developing in Python
• 8 years of experience in a related field

• Relevant experience to contribute to related simulation platforms in C , TypeScript, Vue, or Three.js
• A MS in Computer Science or related field
• Experience with robotics, autonomous vehicles, simulation, or game development
