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
- Deliver key contributions to design, architecture and implementation of a simulation framework that allows efficient and reliable autonomous driving testing
- Integrate the simulation framework in a cloud environment and automate the pipeline to allow scaling for the target verification and validation of our autonomous trucks
- Research new techniques and incorporate them into the development process
- Advance modern simulation recompute techniques for perception and vehicle intent testing based on annotated real data and synthetic rendered data
- Identify testing gaps and derive requirements for new or improved simulation tools, vehicle simulation environments coverage and test frameworks
