📋 Description

• Build production-scale systems for a GPU-accelerated, physically based autonomous-vehicle sensor simulator • Connect the renderer to autonomous-vehicle software stacks and compute clusters using ROS/ROS 2, shared-memory IPC, gRPC, sockets, and serialization formats • Integrate the runtime with Gymnasium-style environment APIs and PyTorch-based driving models • Integrate execution with cloud and on-premises environments for closed-loop testing, continuous integration, and perception training • Improve and validate deterministic, bit-accurate or frame-deterministic execution across simulation, physics, and rendering • Reproduce real sensor scheduling and vehicle timing, including camera, rolling shutter, LiDAR, clock drift, latency, transport lag, and packet drops • Build perturbation mechanisms for timing jitter, dropped or out-of-order frames, and calibration drift • Build memory-efficient multi-world and multi-scenario execution on a single GPU using shared geometry and instancing • Optimize GPU memory, scene streaming, and scheduling to maximize frames per second per GPU • Improve runtime deployment and asset delivery using deterministic packages, read-only filesystems, memory-mapped storage, and low-overhead loaders • Build distributed caches for textures, shader pipelines, and acceleration structures to reduce cold starts and redundant I/O • Profile and reduce disk, network, and memory footprints • Partner with 3D content and USD pipeline teams on runtime budgets, validation rules, and compression workflows • Produce technical design documents, participate in code reviews, perform reproducibility and performance regression testing, and mentor engineers

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with substantial focus on performance-critical systems software • Production proficiency in modern C++ (C++17/20), including performance optimization, memory management, and API/system design • Working proficiency in Python for tooling and automation • Strong Linux systems programming foundation, including multithreading, concurrency, memory management, IPC, and high-throughput data movement across processes and machines • Depth in robotics/autonomous systems or GPU programming through CUDA, OptiX, Vulkan, DXR, or similar APIs, with interest in developing the other domain • Experience with real-time middleware or interfaces such as ROS/ROS 2, DDS, custom IPC, high-rate publish/subscribe, or Gymnasium-style environment APIs • Working understanding of GPU memory and execution models • Track record designing, implementing, and debugging reliable distributed systems • Experience profiling and optimizing real systems • Strong communication and collaboration skills across rendering, simulation, perception, infrastructure, and content pipeline teams • Direct autonomous vehicle experience is not required • Relevant experience may come from robotics, perception, simulation, rendering and graphics, game engines, HPC, or distributed systems infrastructure
