The 3D Simulation group at Zoox is looking for 3D graphics engineers to simulate sensors (lidar, radar, cameras), combining modern graphics and GenAI/ML techniques to close the gap between simulation and reality. You will have access to the best sensor data in the world and an incredible infrastructure for testing and validating your algorithms. Collaborate with Sensor Sim, Perception, and V&V teams to evaluate and iteratively improve the fidelity of sensor simulation. The 3D Sensor Simulation team’s work is at the core of creating high fidelity synthetic data for training and testing AV AI, as well as real time sensor data for hardware-in-the-loop simulation. In this role, you will: Research, implement, and optimize state of the art 3D rendering of sensor data, leveraging GenAI/ML and GPU accelerated Path Tracing. Develop realism metrics with V&V to show measurable impact of your improved sensor fidelity. Collaborate with Perception, Hardware, and Safety teams to improve realism of realtime sensor simulation and high fidelity synthetic data. Improve rendering and tooling for generating realistic data at scale.
