Senior Lead Intern Process Development Engineer 2c 3d Dram Cmp in San Francisco

Who We Are HP IQ is HP’s new AI innovation lab. Combining startup agility with HP’s global scale, we’re building intelligent technologies that redefine how the world works, creates, and collaborates. We’re assembling a diverse, world-class team—engineers, designers, researchers, and product minds—focused on creating an intelligent ecosystem across HP’s portfolio. Together, we’re developing intuitive, adaptive solutions that spark creativity, boost productivity, and make collaboration seamless. We create breakthrough solutions that make complex tasks feel effortless, teamwork more natural, and ideas more impactful—always with a human-centric mindset. By embedding AI advancements into every HP product and service, we’re expanding what’s possible for individuals, organisations, and the future of work. Join us as we reinvent work, so people everywhere can do their best work. About The Role As a Software Engineering Intern on the Systems team at HP IQ, you’ll work on low-level software that sits close to the hardware and helps power intelligent experiences across our products. This role is ideal for students who enjoy understanding how complex systems work under the hood. You’ll have the opportunity to work across multiple layers of the software stack, investigate performance bottlenecks, optimize system behavior, and build software that interacts closely with hardware and system resources. We’re looking for engineers who are curious about more than whether something works — you want to understand how it works, why it performs the way it does, and how to make it better. What You Might Do Build and optimize low-level systems software using languages such as C and C++. Investigate performance bottlenecks and improve the speed, efficiency, and reliability of existing systems. Work on data processing and sensor pipelines that connect software with underlying hardware. Analyze and improve memory usage, resource management, and system performance. Work across multiple lay

Role Overview We are seeking a Staff Simulation Engineer to build an end-to-end aerial autonomy simulation stack at DoorDash Labs. This is a highly technical, hands-on leadership role focused on defining and implementing the simulation architecture that underpins autonomy development, validation, CI/CD testing, and pilot training. You will operate as the technical authority for simulation: owning core architecture decisions, developing key components yourself, and setting engineering standards. You will build and mentor a small, high-caliber simulation team while remaining deeply involved in implementation and system design. This role is ideal for someone who has built simulation systems from first principles, understands simulator internals deeply, and is excited to create a world-class platform from scratch. Key Responsibilities Architect and implement an end-to-end simulation stack for aerial autonomy at DoorDash Labs.. Develop high-fidelity simulation capabilities, including: Flight dynamics modeling Contact modeling and constraint handling Sensor and perception simulation Autonomy software-in-the-loop (SITL) integration Design and implement scalable simulation infrastructure to support: Regression testing in CI/CD pipelines Continuous validation of flight autonomy and autopilot software stack Mission-level testing and scenario generation Build cloud-deployed simulation systems to enable large-scale parallel testing and pilot training. Partner closely with autonomy, controls, and aircraft teams to ensure simulation fidelity and validation alignment. Establish technical direction, architecture standards, and performance benchmarks for simulation. Mentor and grow a small team of simulation engineers while remaining deeply hands-on. Required Qualifications Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. 10+ years of experience in robotics or physics-based simulation.
