Software Engineer, Simulation (Summer Intern)

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. About The Role We are seeking a passionate and driven intern to join our Simulation team for the summer. You will contribute to building a simulation platform with high fidelity and efficiency. In this role, you will gain hands-on experience with production-proven simulation software, and work with a diverse group of engineers to improve overall simulation performance. Responsibilities Perform optimization on simulation software under the guidance of profiler. Identify and resolve algorithm deficiencies that affects simulation determinism. Implement new simulation capabilities that fits new hardware. Qualifications PhD, Master’s students or senior undergraduate students majoring in Computer Science or a related field. Strong C++ development skills with experience in performance-critical applications. Deep understanding of computer architecture. Great communication skills that fosters cross-team collaboration. Familiarity with robotics (perception, motion planning) is a plus. Experience with GPU/CUDA programming is a bonus. The hourly rate for the Intern position in the selected city is $46.
