Senior Simulation Vehicle Modeling Engineer

<p><strong>About the Company</strong> </p>

<p>At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business. A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. <a href=" a part of the Daimler family</a>, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight. Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer. </p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">At Torc, our simulation teams are building the foundation for AV 3.0 driver-out development and certification. This team serves as the critical technical interface between simulation/modeling and autonomy consumers. By ensuring model fidelity, coverage, and usability, the team plays a vital role in evaluating and advancing autonomous driving software. We support massive-scale, parallel execution for scaled verification and validation (V&V) and high-throughput reinforcement learning (RL) training. Ultimately, we provide the framework and tooling that serves Autonomy, Safety, and Release with shared artifacts, common metrics, and deterministic reproducibility. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":240}"> </span></p>
