Software Engineer - Simulation Intern

DiDi's autonomous driving unit was established in 2016 with the mission of developing Level 4 autonomous driving technology to make transportation safer and more efficient. In August 2019, it became independent DiDi Autonomous Driving, focused on advanced AD R&D, product application, and business expansion. Interns join the Simulation team to build a high-fidelity and efficient simulation platform.

You will gain hands-on experience with production-proven simulation software while contributing to overall performance improvements. Daily work involves optimization guided by profilers, resolving algorithm issues for determinism, and implementing capabilities for new hardware. This role immerses you in critical simulation challenges for autonomous fleets.

Work with a diverse group of engineers leveraging DiDi's technology, operational expertise, and ecosystem. The team integrates AD into shared-mobility fleets for immense social value, building highly efficient, user-oriented autonomous operations. Collaboration fosters cross-team efforts in a dynamic R&D environment.

This summer internship provides direct exposure to real-world autonomous driving simulations. You will enhance skills in performance-critical C++ applications and computer architecture. Contribute to scalable simulation systems positioned for fleet deployment.
