Senior Software Engineer, Simulation Fidelity

We're Cruise, a self-driving service designed for the cities we love.

We’re building the world’s most advanced self-driving vehicles to safely connect people to the places, things, and experiences they care about. We believe self-driving vehicles will help save lives, reshape cities, give back time in transit, and restore freedom of movement for many.

In our cars, you’re free to be yourself. It’s the same here at Cruise. We’re creating a culture that values the experiences and contributions of all of the unique individuals who collectively make up Cruise, so that every employee can do their best work. 

Cruise is committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment, both in our workplace and in our products. If you are looking to play a part in making a positive impact in the world by advancing the revolutionary work of self-driving cars, come join us. Even if you might not meet every requirement, we strongly encourage you to apply. You might just be the right candidate for us.

The Simulation group delivers products that accelerate our autonomous vehicle development, testing, and deployment through specialized frameworks and tools. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Simulation Fidelity team, you will contribute to complex efforts aimed at identifying and addressing gaps within our simulation frameworks. These improvements are essential in facilitating our customers' ability to innovate and develop new AV features.

Your responsibilities will extend to building tools to evaluate and report on the fidelity of Cruise’s Simulation frameworks. You will be responsible for contributing to the full lifecycle of investigating and understanding our platforms: developing appropriate metrics and methodologies, building data pipelines to measure the accuracy and precision of different simulation frameworks, tracking the evolution of the AVs performance within Simulation, and deploying tools for clear and accurate reporting to stakeholders and customers.

This role requires an individual contributor with an entrepreneurial mindset and a willingness to take on a multifaceted role, embracing diverse responsibilities such as data analysis, software development, technical documentation writing, and more. 

What you’ll be doing:

• Partner with stakeholders to define metrics which measure key performance indicators for simulation frameworks
• Define and implement pipelines and tools which measure and continuously monitor metrics which evaluate simulated behaviors against real world observation data
• Work closely with partner teams to enable rapid development and feedback, …
