CARLA SimulationEvaluation Platform

CARLA (Car Learning to Act) is an open-source autonomous driving simulator developed by leading research institutions including Intel and Toyota. It provides the most realistic and comprehensive simulation environment for testing autonomous vehicle algorithms, making it the perfect platform for evaluating real-world AV engineering skills rather than abstract coding challenges.

Our parameter-based assessment evaluates engineering judgment through real-world trade-off scenarios. By having candidates tune critical parameters like safety margins and efficiency thresholds, we reveal decision-making capabilities that traditional interviews miss. This approach provides deeper insights into how engineers will perform in actual autonomous vehicle development roles.

Yes, our platform follows best practices for fair assessment. Our parameter-based evaluation focuses on engineering judgment rather than subjective measures. We use industry-standard benchmarks, provide consistent scenarios for all candidates, maintain detailed assessment records, and offer transparent scoring criteria. This objective approach helps reduce bias compared to traditional interview methods.

The assessment takes 3-4 hours. Candidates work through 14 real-world scenarios where they tune 2-5 critical parameters each, such as emergency braking distances or lane change timing. They analyze trade-offs between safety, efficiency, and comfort, then set parameter values based on their engineering judgment. Results are scored against industry benchmarks from leading AV companies.

We take IP protection seriously. All candidates sign comprehensive NDAs before assessment. Your custom scenarios and evaluation criteria are stored with encryption and strict access controls. We never share company-specific assessment data with other clients. Our platform runs in isolated environments, and all candidate work is deleted after evaluation. We're happy to sign mutual NDAs and can accommodate additional security requirements for enterprise clients.

We offer a 90-day placement guarantee. If a placement doesn't meet expectations within the first 90 days, we'll find a replacement at no additional cost. Our thorough parameter-based assessment significantly reduces this risk - our placement success rate exceeds industry standards. For contract staffing, we can typically provide a replacement within 48-72 hours. We also conduct regular check-ins to identify and address any concerns early.

Yes, we have experience placing engineers with defense contractors and companies with ITAR requirements. We can source candidates with active security clearances or those eligible for clearance. Our screening process includes verification of citizenship status and export control compliance. We understand the unique requirements of government contractors and can adapt our processes accordingly.

Absolutely. Beyond individual placements, we provide complete team augmentation solutions. This includes assembling specialized teams for specific projects, providing technical leadership alongside engineers, managing team performance and deliverables, and offering flexible scaling up or down based on project needs. Our managed team approach includes regular performance reviews and ongoing technical support.

We use AWS g4dn.xlarge instances with NVIDIA T4 GPUs running Docker-containerized CARLA 0.10.0. Our platform features enterprise-grade infrastructure, high availability design, multi-region deployment capabilities, and comprehensive security measures following industry best practices.

Engineers take our parameter-based CARLA evaluation to demonstrate their skills. Companies gain access to pre-assessed talent with detailed performance data. This saves significant technical interview time and provides objective data for hiring decisions. Our placement fees reflect the added value of pre-verified engineering capabilities.

Absolutely. We offer custom scenario development, company-specific evaluation criteria, branded assessment experiences, integration with existing ATS systems, and white-label platform options for enterprise clients. Our team works with you to create assessments that match your exact technical requirements and company culture.

We assess all key AV roles including Perception Engineers (computer vision, sensor fusion), Planning & Control Engineers (path planning, motion control), Software Engineers (system integration, testing), Machine Learning Engineers (model training, optimization), and Systems Engineers (architecture, validation). Each role has specialized scenarios and evaluation criteria.

Candidates prefer CARLA evaluation because it's engaging, relevant, and fair. Instead of stressful whiteboard interviews, they work on realistic autonomous driving challenges similar to their daily work. Our 92% candidate satisfaction rate reflects this positive experience, and many candidates report it helps them better understand the role and company.

We provide comprehensive onboarding including platform training for your team, integration support with existing systems, custom scenario development consultation, regular bias audit reports, 24/7 technical support, and dedicated account management for enterprise clients. Our goal is seamless integration with your existing hiring process.

Our cloud-native platform easily scales to support concurrent assessments for hundreds of candidates. We've successfully supported enterprise clients with 200+ annual hires, offering volume discounts, dedicated infrastructure, priority access, API integration, and automated workflows to streamline high-volume technical hiring.

We maintain enterprise-grade security with industry-standard practices including GDPR and CCPA compliance, encryption for all candidate data, secure AWS infrastructure, strict access controls, and appropriate data retention policies. We follow security best practices to protect candidate information throughout the assessment process.
