We're Cruise, a self-driving service designed for the cities we love.
We’re building the world’s most advanced self-driving vehicles to safely connect people to the places, things, and experiences they care about. We believe self-driving vehicles will help save lives, reshape cities, give back time in transit, and restore freedom of movement for many.
In our cars, you’re free to be yourself. It’s the same here at Cruise. We’re creating a culture that values the experiences and contributions of all of the unique individuals who collectively make up Cruise, so that every employee can do their best work.
Cruise is committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment, both in our workplace and in our products. If you are looking to play a part in making a positive impact in the world by advancing the revolutionary work of self-driving cars, come join us. Even if you might not meet every requirement, we strongly encourage you to apply. You might just be the right candidate for us.
Simulation at Cruise is responsible for constructing virtual environments to guarantee safety, comfort and efficiency of our autonomous vehicles. Our products accelerate autonomous vehicle development, testing, and deployment by efficiently simulating and testing our autonomous vehicle software against billions of miles of driving - a task that would otherwise require years of on-road testing. Simulation develops end-to-end frameworks, test pipelines, assets, and tools to enable our fleets to scale in the real world.

As a software engineer on the Simulation team, you will be in the driver seat of our mission to revolutionize autonomous vehicle testing and evaluation in simulation. Your primary focus will be to drive development and integration of our automated simulation test pipelines to solve mission-critical testing and evaluation problems. These pipelines will automatically gather road data, create new tests, validate existing tests, and actively power rapid developer iteration for model training and performance evaluation. You will also develop user-efficiency tools for simulation management and authoring workflows to help test creators generate millions of simulations.
You will collaborate closely with a diverse team across AV Engineering, Systems Engineering, Product Management, Product Operations, as well as SWEs within the Simulation framework and tooling teams, to deliver impactful simulation software solutions.
What you'll be doing:
- Build automated tools and pipelines for simulation test creation, maintenance and execution to accelerate training of ML models and end-to-end performance evaluation
- Develop and integrate test productivity and debugging scripts to enable efficient customer workflows
- Design and implement engineering solutions to tackle complex simulation testing problems, focused towards performance and scale
- Collaborate across teams, with AV Engineers, Product Managers, Product Operations, Systems Engineers, and Simulation to enhance the user experience of simulation tools and improve the development speed of Cruise engineers and Offshore teams
What you must have:
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or equivalent experience
- Equivalent experience includes technical leadership in a complex space, driving technical design and execution cross-collaboratively across multiple teams and organizations
- 5+ years relevant industry experience
- Strong programming skills in Python
- Passion for building tools, frameworks and libraries that simplify complex workflows
- Proven track record of effective collaboration with customers and continuous delivery of quality results
- Experience with C++
- Experience with SQL programming
- Experience with BigQuery, GCP
- Experience with verification and validation of complex and/or safety critical systems within robotics, autonomous driving or related field
- Competitive salary and benefits
- Medical / dental / vision, Life and AD&D
- Subsidized mental health benefits
- Paid time off and holidays
- Paid parental, medical, family care, and military leave of absence
- 401(k) Cruise matching program
- Fertility benefits
- Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
- Flexible Spending Account & Health Saving Account
- Perks Wallet program for benefits/perks
- Pre-tax Commuter benefit plan for local employees
- CruiseFlex, our location-flexible work policy. (Learn more about CruiseFlex).
- Through our partnerships with General Motors and Honda, we are the only self-driving company with fully integrated manufacturing at scale.
- GM, Honda, Microsoft, T. Rowe Price, and Walmart have invested billions in Cruise. Their backing for our technology demonstrates their confidence in our progress, team, and vision and makes us one of the leading autonomous vehicle organizations in the industry. Our deep resources greatly accelerate our operating speed.
