A Software Engineer, Traffic Simulation (m/w/d) to develop scalable and realistic traffic simulation environments for autonomous vehicle (AV) testing. You will work on generating complex traffic scenarios, integrating real-world data with simulations, and ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Your work will directly contribute to improving AV safety and performance through rigorous simulation-based testing.

Tasks

• Build a programmatic system that can automatically generate thousands of permutations of given scenario conditions.
• Combine formal verification, traffic rule formalization, and simulation-based testing.
• Implement realistic and interactive car, cyclist, and pedestrian agents.
• Integrate logged data replay with simulated agents.
• Design challenge-oriented simulations that meet industry regulations and standards.
• Design performance, coverage, and safety metrics for closed-loop AV testing.

Requirements

• MSc. in Computer Science or Mathematics (or related fields).
• Industry experience writing Python (C++ knowledge is beneficial).
• Experience with machine learning and applied deep learning.
• Experience with AV simulation frameworks (e.g., Carla).
• Knowledge of AV industry standards and regulations (e.g., OpenScenario, SOTIF, RSS).
• Experience in requirement analysis, test case writing, and software-in-the-loop testing.
• Experience with formal verification and temporal logics is a plus.
• Strong organizational skills and teamwork abilities.
• German driver's license and/or strong knowledge of German traffic rules.

Benefits

• Work in an intellectually stimulating and innovative environment where you can take full ownership of your projects at every stage of development.
• Enjoy flat hierarchies, an open culture, and fast decision-making processes.
• Collaborate with a skilled and dedicated team eager to share their knowledge and expertise.
• Be part of a multinational workplace that values diversity and integrates different backgrounds and perspectives.
• Work in the vibrant heart of Berlin, in the dynamic Kreuzberg district.
