Zoox made the world’s first purpose-built commercial robotaxi, combining advanced self-driving hardware and software. In order to ensure safe operation, low latency and consistent resource utilization are critical. The Planner Compute team is responsible for the performance of the largest single software component within the autonomy stack, the motion planner.

The Planner Compute team is looking for an expert in GPU performance. You will instrument, monitor, analyze and optimize GPU-based algorithms that are performance-critical for our solution. The scope for GPU usage ranges from machine learning inference to custom CUDA kernels written specifically for the motion planner.

Analyze performance metrics to identify GPU hotspots and optimizations

Contribute to the adaptation of our current planner to multiple GPU architectures with different resources

Optimize ML models for latency and GPU memory usage
