What are the responsibilities and job description for the Staff Software Engineer, Evaluation & Simulation - AV Labs position at Uber?
About The Role
Uber is launching AV Labs to accelerate the autonomous technology ecosystem. We're building out a high-velocity team of multi-disciplinary experts to turn real-world operations into high-quality data for our autonomous partners. This team will be focused on the hardest problem in AV today: unlocking real-world, long-tail driving data. Autonomy is now a data race-and Uber has an edge: We collect rare, real-world driving data at a scale and capital efficiency no one else can match (millions of Uber trips every hour across cities, conditions, and edge cases create the data autonomy has been missing).
We will build platforms that harness scale and real-world complexity to reimagine how the world moves.
You will be a software engineer in AV Labs and involved in the development and implementation of the latest technology to evaluate self-driving stacks. The ideal candidate will be able to identify issues, provide solutions, and implement the fixes, as well as set a high technical excellence bar in all things we do.

What You Will Do
- Design and deliver software to evaluate self-driving stacks.
- Define metrics to evaluate the performance of self-driving stacks, such as perception, prediction, and planning.
- Write batch pipelines to evaluate the self-driving stack using real-world driving data.
- Explore simulation techniques to enrich the evaluation dataset.
- Minimum 5 years of total experience in the self-driving industry
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering or related fields
- Proficient in Python, Linux, Spark, or Ray.
- Familiar with Machine Learning and statistical analysis
- Prior experience with Perception, Prediction, or Planning for autonomous vehicles.
