About the role

Who you are

  • Deep understanding of how robotic systems work and ability to leverage this knowledge to plan for verification and validation
  • 3+ years of experience in one of the platform areas — autonomy sensors, AV compute, motion control, pose/localization, or end-to-end latency
  • Experience testing in HIL environments or on road testing
  • Hands on experience in systems engineering
  • Ability to read code in C++ and write code in Python / MATLAB
  • Strong communication skills - both verbal and written
  • AV or ADAS background
  • Familiarity with other safety standards such as STPA, ISO-21448

What the job involves

  • Lead system-level requirements definition, architecture design, integration strategy, and validation in one of the platform areas — autonomy sensors, AV compute, motion control, pose/localization, or end-to-end latency
  • Characterize and quantify system performance for that area: define nominal targets, minimum performance, and acceptance criteria across all ODDs, and defend those numbers with data rather than convention
  • Recommend operating constraints for current and future ODDs on different vehicle platforms — for example trajectory constraints for a given virtual driver, or sensor performance envelopes
  • Define and quantify test coverage for your area, including the realism and relevance of proposed tests across simulation, SIL/HIL, closed course, and on-road
  • Partner with software teams to define interfaces, performance metrics, failure modes, and validation strategies; validate platform modules against ground truth where applicable
  • Collaborate with hardware and EE teams and external vendors on component selection, characterization, and integration; review and recommend changes to supplier requirements and test plans
  • Support V&V by reviewing and suggesting additional tests and implementing test cases in SIL/HIL environments
  • Analyze and interpret test data from simulation, HIL/SIL, and on-road testing to confirm requirements are met, and perform root cause analysis for complex cross-functional issues found during integration and testing, driving them to resolution

Benefits

  • Free Caltrain pass and commuter benefits
  • Company stock options
  • Work from home opportunities
  • Health insurance
