TEAM
Arene's goal is to open vehicle programming to everyone by simplifying vehicle software development and increasing deployment frequency without compromising safety and security. This will create a whole new market of vehicle application developers who, through software, integrate a vehicle into our daily lives in novel ways. Arene aims to significantly improve how vehicles are designed and developed, and we're working closely with Toyota to realize this goal in its next-generation vehicles.

Arene Reactor is a function within Validation platform which aims to enable developers to test their applications as early as possible in the development cycle without requiring access to a real vehicle to reduce costs and deliver safer software. For this, we provide a highly customizable simulation core engine that simulates sensors and ground-truth data for both the tested vehicle and its surrounding virtual environment.

Automotive simulation for autonomous vehicles lies at the intersection of many subfields, such as robotics, safety engineering, computational physics, computer graphics, real-time computing, and simulation engine design just to name a few. We aspire to integrate facets of those various disciplines into a coherent body of knowledge that will help us tackle our challenges and achieve our mission.

If you want to work with other talented engineers to solve challenging and interesting problems, come join us!

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for experienced developers who are passionate or eager to learn about developing simulation technology that enables increasingly more powerful self-driving software to safely enter the marketplace. Testing a complex piece of software such as an AD/ADAS system requires carefully engineered automated workflows including ground-breaking simulation technology.

We are looking for experienced developers with a strong ownership mindset and good technical communication skills, the candidate must therefore have first-hand knowledge of software development and be effective at communicating across teams.


RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Collaborate with other team members and other Arene teams to develop simulation related software components and tools.
  • Work closely with customers, simulation application developers, to design and deliver solutions that meet their needs.
  • Create self-contained solutions that can be built and deployed in a fully-automated way.
  • Adhere and incrementally improve the norms of the team in communication, workflows, coding standards, etc.
  • Learn about and understand user workflows for simulation and testing.


  • MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Experience in object oriented language (modern C++, Python…)
  • Experience with game engines such as Unreal or Unity
  • Experience with modern development tools (Git, Docker, Jira, Confluence…)
  • Experience with maintaining and deploying code to production environments
  • Experience with implementing unit and end-to-end testing
  • Working proficiency and communication skills in spoken and written English


  • NICE TO HAVES:
  • University degree in a STEM field
  • Experience with graphics programming (OpenGL, Vulkan, OptiX)
  • Experience integrating with CI/CD tools (Github Actions)
  • Experience with server-client technologies (RPC)


  • If you are located outside of Japan we will set up an interview over Google Hangout Meet.
