Aurora Innovation | Software Engineer | Full time | Remote: Flexible, but must live near an office Compensation: $80k-$250k base salary, plus benefits. Traded on NASDAQ: AUR.

Location:

Mountain View CA, USA

San Francisco CA, USA

Bozeman MT, USA

Seattle WA, USA

Pittsburgh PA, USA

Visa Sponsorship: Available.

Description: My team makes the software that simulates autonomous vehicle on road in millions of virtual scenarios in order to measure their safety and performance.

We specialize in simulating the physical processes involved in road-vehicle dynamics which allow motion planning, control, safety, and test engineers to design, verify, and validate changes to autonomy software without needing a physical vehicle on the road. We are a key part of Aurora’s safety culture: https://aurora.tech/safety

For more details, see the job description: https://aurora.tech/jobs/software-engineer-motion-simulation... and the company website: https://aurora.tech/

Technologies: The majority of our C++ software is C++17. We also have code in Python, Go, and TypeScript. Developers have a choice of Linux Laptops, or MacBooks and virtual workstations running Linux. We use many open source projects (including Eigen and Boost), and contribute as well.

Contact: You can apply on the company website, Linkedin, or simply ask questions over through the latter.

I don't know how many times I read over the definition of the Legendre transform and never really got it. I'll definitely check out that section. I feel like as an outsider Sussman brings a much needed fresh viewpoint in explaining things in physics. His explanation of the derivatives in the Euler-Lagrange equation was similarly great.

I'm a theoretical chemistry phd student. I'm curious, how do you think the simulations could have been improved?

I think you are right lost_marbles. The difference between a PhD with an excellent pedigree and a rubber-stamped PhD should be their publication records. The problem would still exist if these rubber-stamped PhDs weren't there, I think. As a postdoc, you're going to get paid zilch, period.

I think I'm one of the "them"--now that I know about it, it seems like a pretty important thing to know. I can't help but wonder, how many other gems like this out there that the "them" don't know about?
