Vehicle Simulation information

What are some common challenges faced in a Vehicle Simulation role, and how can I prepare for them?

Professionals in Vehicle Simulation often encounter challenges such as integrating complex real-world vehicle dynamics into virtual environments and ensuring simulation accuracy. You may also need to collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, software developers, and test drivers, to refine simulation models. Staying updated with the latest simulation software and automotive technologies is crucial, as is strong problem-solving ability to address unexpected simulation discrepancies. Building a solid foundation in physics, programming, and communication skills can help you succeed in this dynamic and evolving field.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Vehicle Simulation Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Vehicle Simulation Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical or automotive engineering, physics, and mathematics, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with simulation software such as MATLAB/Simulink, CarSim, or ANSYS, and sometimes certification in these tools, is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication skills help you excel in this role. These competencies are essential to accurately model vehicle systems, validate designs, and collaborate across engineering teams to ensure vehicle performance and safety.

What is vehicle simulation?

Vehicle simulation refers to the use of computer models and software to mimic the behavior, dynamics, and performance of vehicles in various scenarios. This technology allows engineers and designers to test and optimize vehicles without the need for physical prototypes, saving time and cost. Vehicle simulation can assess aspects such as safety, efficiency, and handling under different conditions, and is widely used in automotive, aerospace, and research industries. It plays a crucial role in the development of autonomous vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems.

What is the difference between Vehicle Simulation vs Vehicle Testing Engineer?

Key responsibilities

  • Develop, maintain, and support C++ software that enables Remote Vehicle Assistance.

  • Collaborate with C++ applications and UI engineers to integrate and pass data between autonomous vehicle software and remote stations.

  • Develop and maintain integration and simulation test suites to test all software before production.

Job description

Mission Summary:
We're looking for a Software Engineer to design and develop Motional's Remote Vehicle Assistance team.  Remote Vehicle Assistance (RVA) project main goal is to overcome gaps in AV's Operation Design Domain to allow expanded operations using a remote human operator. This involves overriding onboard AV systems (perception, planner and control), and transmitting low latency sensor and semantic data out of the vehicle.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Develop, maintain and support C++ software that enables Remote Vehicle Assistance
  • Collaborate with C++ applications and UI engineers to pass data between software running on the autonomous vehicle and software running on remote stations
  • Collaborate with C++ software components on the autonomous vehicle to integrate Remote Vehicle Assistance capabilities
  • Test-driven development of new features supporting the autonomous vehicle
  • Develop and maintain a comprehensive integration and simulation test suite to test all software before it goes to production
  • Collaborate with systems and operations teams to develop a product that fits both customer needs and system requirements
  • Collaborate with testing and operations engineers to support Motional's on-road testing
  • Design, develop, and maintain RVA agent training tools, including the creation of comprehensive simulation scenarios.
  • Contribute to the development and support of next-generation RVA product features.

What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
  • Minimum of 2 years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Proficient in C++
  • Working knowledge of SQL
  • Basic understand of Git, Bazel, JIRA, Confluence or similar development tools
  • Ability to learn how to use a motional specific custom SoC
  • Experience working on a linux Operating System
  • Capable of performing statistical performance of deployed features

Bonus Points (not required):

  • Experience with Modern C++ ( 11/14/17 or later)
  • Experience working with Python, Golang
  • Experience with QT, OpenGL

Why should you join us?

  • Work on cutting edge technologies
  • Flexi Benefits 
  • "Take as you need" Annual Leave
  • Transport Allowance
  • Medical & Insurance Coverage 
  • Dental 
  • 8-week Paternity & Maternity Leave

This role is hybrid from our Las Vegas office. It requires 3 in-office days each week.
