Foster City, United States Zoox Full time

Zoox is building the world's most advanced self-driving hardware and software solution. The efficiency demands of such a system require an expert fine-tuning of both the compute hardware architecture as well as the algorithms and middleware that runs on it to achieve maximum throughput at the most optimal power levels.

The Software Core Performance team's mission is to analyze, optimize, and provide guidance to the software and hardware teams to meet the required specifications.

As a GPU performance software engineer within the Software Core Performance team, you will instrument, monitor, analyze, and optimize GPU-based algorithms that are performance-critical for our solution. The scope for GPU usage ranges from traditional computer vision and deep learning architectures to complex geometric reasoning and multi-agent decision-making.

Responsibilities

    • Build real-time instrumentation for performance monitoring (CPU, GPU, latency, memory) of the system at hand and offline benchmarking frameworks to support performance evaluation.
    • Build tools and scripts to evaluate & analyze performance at scale in CI as well as in the vehicle.
    • Establish budgets for existing architectures, and provide data to define next-gen architectures.
    • Analyze performance metrics to identify GPU hotspots and root causes, and propose and co-implement actionable solutions with component teams.
    • Support teams in bringing serial algorithms to the GPU to maximize compute utilization and improve overall latency.
    • Work as part of the Core team to build a middleware framework that promotes by default efficient and performant code development by maximizing CPU and GPU.
Qualifications
    • BS in computer science or related field
    • Strong knowledge of C++ and experience in large code bases
    • Strong knowledge of CUDA as applied to recent GPU microarchitectures (e.g., Turing, Ampere)
    • Experiencing debugging and optimizing GPU kernels using tools like Nsight Systems and Compute
    • Proficiency in statistical analysis and forecast modeling
    • Experience with SQL, DataBricks, Looker, or other business intelligence tools
    • Comfortable in Linux development environments
Bonus Qualifications
    • GPU kernel development experience in a firm/hard real-time environment
    • Experience in the development, debugging, and profiling of complex multiprocess systems (e.g. game engines, robotic systems)
    • Experience with PTX-level programming
    • Experience with CPU SIMD instructions (e.g., AVX intrinsics)
    • Experience with TensortRT and custom CUDA layers
