About the position
At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business. A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight. Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer. The Simulation CORE team helps design, develop, integrate, and test state-of-the-art vehicle simulation technology to support vehicle intent and perception component development and testing of autonomy software for self-driving trucks.
Responsibilities
- Shape the future of autonomous trucking by contributing to the advanced simulation framework.
- Apply state of the art approaches for vehicle simulation in a scalable production setting.
- Adapt high fidelity vehicle models and integrate external scenarios.
- Support scenario variability and replace third party technologies with in-house solutions.
- Integrate simulation tools and the autonomy stack to expedite development and validate products.
- Deliver key contributions to design, architecture and implementation of a simulation framework for autonomous driving testing.
- Integrate the simulation framework in a cloud environment and automate the pipeline for scaling verification and validation.
- Research new techniques and incorporate them into the development process.
- Advance modern simulation recompute techniques for perception and vehicle intent testing based on real and synthetic data.
- Identify testing gaps and derive requirements for new or improved simulation tools.
