About the Team

Avride is an autonomous driving company with the mission to make transportation safer and more efficient through cutting-edge technology. We hold a unique position in the market, developing self-driving taxis and delivery robots. Our delivery robot division already has production in the US and Japan. Our compact team consists of highly talented engineers with extensive expertise. Joining us means diving into a startup atmosphere and making a significant impact on the company's results and the autonomous industry as a whole.

About the Role

We are seeking a software engineer to join our robot simulation team. You will work on building a hybrid simulation framework that combines real-world data with synthetic environments. This includes simulating at the sensor level (e.g., LiDAR point clouds) as well as integrating behavioral cloning models into the simulation pipeline. Your work will enable realistic, large-scale testing of motion planning and ML-based control algorithms in diverse urban conditions.

What You'll Do
  • Design and implement core components of a scalable hybrid simulator that blends real-world map and ride data with synthetic content.
  • Develop efficient C++ modules for geometric and physical modeling, map data processing, and sensor or agent simulation.
  • Collaborate with ML and behavior-modeling teams to integrate closed-loop agent simulation and support model training and evaluation.
  • Develop debugging and visualization tools to analyze simulation results, data consistency, and performance.
What You'll Need
  • 3+ years of software engineering experience with C++.
  • Solid background in computational geometry
  • Experience developing simulation, rendering, or visualization tools.
  • Ability to design clean software architecture and collaborate effectively across teams.
Nice to Have

  • Experience in game development, robotics simulators, or 3D graphics engines
  • Familiarity with physics simulation, sensor modeling, or data-driven simulation.
  • Exposure to machine learning or behavioral modeling workflows.

Candidates are required to be authorized to work in the U.S. The employer is not offering relocation sponsorship, and remote work options are not available.
