Software Engineer, Fleet Simulation (Core Data Science)

Job description

Zoox — Software Engineer, Fleet Simulation (Core Data Science) (Foster City, California).

Job responsibilities

  • Turn existing fleet-simulation components into a coherent, self-service environment that data scientists and ML engineers can run without deep software expertise.
  • Fill gaps and build the connective tissue between simulation, data, and fleet-orchestration algorithms.
  • Build generalizable mechanisms that let teams measure how their orchestration algorithms affect fleet efficiency.
  • Collaborate with data science, ML, and fleet-orchestration teams to shape and prioritize the simulation roadmap.
  • Establish best practices and processes around simulation, evaluation, and data-driven decision-making.

Job requirements

  • Software development experience in a production environment, with fluency in Python; or demonstrated experience learning new programming languages.
  • Experience building tools, services, or frameworks that make complex systems usable by non-specialist users.
  • Familiarity with any version control system, with preference for Git.
  • Experience designing metrics and building mechanisms that deliver robust, actionable insights.
  • Good communication and collaboration skills.
  • Basic familiarity with C++ and/or Kotlin.
  • Experience with microservices and/or distributed systems.
  • Experience with simulation and/or fleet orchestration (dispatch, routing, vehicle assignment).
