🛠 Tech Stack

💼 About This Role

You'll lead the development of sensor and system-level simulation workflows for an end-to-end learned driving stack at Toyota Research Institute. Your work will enable closed-loop validation and synthetic data generation to improve the full-stack driving policy. This role bridges cutting-edge research with product impact across Toyota's global AI efforts.

🎯 What You'll Do

  • Build visually realistic simulators to test end-to-end autonomy stack behavior.
  • Prototype and integrate internal and third-party simulators for learned system testing.
  • Build data logging frameworks for large-scale virtual tests.
  • Collaborate with autonomy, ML, and integration teams to define simulation metrics.

📋 Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or simulation.
  • Experience with 3D reconstruction (e.g., Gaussian Splatting, NeRF).
  • Strong programming skills in Python and C++ for robotics or systems.
  • Experience with simulation platforms (e.g., CARLA, Applied Intuition, Nvidia DriveSim).

✨ Nice to Have

  • Hands-on experience validating ML-based autonomy stacks in closed-loop simulation.
  • Knowledge of scenario generation, rare event simulation, or counterfactual testing.
  • Experience with AWS or other cloud compute platforms.

🎁 Benefits & Perks

  • 🏖️ Unlimited PTO
  • 🏥 Health insurance (medical, dental, vision)
  • 💰 Equity and performance bonuses
  • 📈 401k matching
  • 🎓 Learning and development opportunities
