Software Engineer, Simulation (Summer Intern)
Role summary
DiDi Autonomous Driving is seeking a Simulation Engineer Intern for the summer to contribute to building a high-fidelity and efficient simulation platform. The intern will gain hands-on experience with production simulation software and work with engineers to enhance simulation performance. Key responsibilities include optimizing simulation software using profilers, resolving algorithm deficiencies affecting simulation determinism, and implementing new simulation capabilities for new hardware. This role requires strong C++ development skills, a deep understanding of computer architecture, and excellent communication. Familiarity with robotics and GPU/CUDA programming are considered a plus.
About The Company
DiDi's autonomous driving unit was established in 2016 with the mission of developing Level 4 autonomous driving (AD) technology to make transportation safer and more efficient. In August 2019, the unit became an independent company, DiDi Autonomous Driving, dedicated to advanced AD R&D, product application, and business expansion. We believe integrating AD technology into a shared-mobility fleet will generate immense social value. By leveraging DiDi's specialized technology, operational expertise, and integrated ecosystem, we are positioned to build and operate a highly efficient, user-oriented autonomous fleet.
