DoorDash Autonomy Simulation Engineer at DoorDash Labs to develop and maintain simulation software and models for autonomous delivery robots. Responsible for calibrating and validating simulation models against real-world behavior using controlled experiments.

Responsibilities

The Simulation team builds software, models, and environments to test on-road autonomous robot behavior and evaluate autonomy changes before deployment. We are hiring an Autonomy Simulation Engineer to improve simulation fidelity and accelerate the development and validation of autonomous delivery robots.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will...
Develop and maintain the simulation engine and supporting software.
Build and improve simulation models of robot behavior, other participants, and their interactions.
Calibrate and validate simulation models against real-world behavior using controlled, repeatable experiments.
Develop parameterized environments and synthetic scenarios to test conditions and interactions that are difficult to capture in the field.
Investigate differences between simulated and real-world behavior, identify contributing model assumptions and parameters, and implement improvements.
Improve simulator reproducibility, reliability, usability, and debuggability.
We’re excited about you because...
You have strong production C++ and Python experience.
You can translate real-world behavior and physical systems into practical software models.
You have experience building closed-loop or interactive simulation software, with depth in areas such as robot dynamics, physics, road-user behavior, synthetic scenario generation, or probabilistic modeling.
