Full Job Description

## Description PlusAI is a Physical AI company pioneering AI-based virtual driver software for factory-built autonomous trucks. Headquartered in Silicon Valley with operations in the United States and Europe, Plus was named by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies. Partners including TRATON GROUP’s Scania, MAN, and International brands, Hyundai Motor Company, Iveco Group, Bosch, and DSV are working with Plus to accelerate the deployment of next-generation autonomous trucks. If you’re ready to make a huge impact and drive the future of autonomy, Plus is looking for talented individuals to join its fast-growing teams. We’re seeking an enthusiastic and driven Simulation/ML Engineer Intern to join our team and work on an exciting project that blends Large Language Models (LLMs) with simulation technology. In this role, you’ll help develop a tool that can generate realistic, scalable simulation scenarios from text and real road data. This is a fantastic opportunity to apply your machine learning and robotics knowledge to real-world challenges, while working on a project that will revolutionize how simulation scenarios are created, with minimal manual effort. You’ll be at the forefront of innovation, helping us expand our capabilities in testing autonomous vehicles using large-scale simulation with LLM-driven solutions. ## Responsibilities LLM Integration: Leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to architect and implement a pipeline that automatically generates realistic, highly structured driving scenarios. Translate ODDs to Prompts: Convert complex Operational Design Domains (ODDs) and safety/NHTSA guidelines into effective prompt frameworks and programmatic constraints for the model. Simulation Integration: Interface the LLM-generated scenarios directly with the autonomous vehicle simulation environment to create executable, varied testing grounds. Apply Deontic Logic: Incorporate rule-based constraints (deontic logic) to ensure the generated scena
