Software Engineer – Simulation Backend

Our Simulation team is responsible for building the foundational infrastructure that powers large-scale simulations critical to autonomous system development. We work at the intersection of cloud computing, distributed systems, and core simulation. Our simulations are used daily across the company: by QA engineers verifying component-level quality, by autonomy engineers investigating unexpected behavior, by ML teams validating new model versions, and by safety analysts and data scientists who analyze thousands of simulated scenarios and metrics to assess system readiness. The simulator is modular and supports both full-system and component-level runs. It operates at scale on distributed compute clusters, enabling us to simulate far more situations than we can cover on the road.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Simulation Backend Engineer, you'll design, build, and optimize the systems that power our distributed simulation workloads. You will work on everything from data pipelines and orchestration to cloud-based storage and microservice infrastructure. You’ll play a pivotal role in enabling our simulation engineers and researchers to run massive experiments with high efficiency and reliability.
