Inside the Role
In this role, you will support validation activities for a fail-operational vehicle platform designed to maintain safe operation under fault conditions. Working with a global team of engineers, you will develop and execute system-level and vehicle-level tests, participate in test campaigns, analyze results, investigate issues, and contribute to the validation of highly automated truck systems. This position is ideal for engineers early in their careers who are interested in autonomous systems, vehicle testing, systems engineering, and functional safety. You will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge automated driving technologies while developing the technical and leadership skills needed to grow into a key contributor in autonomous vehicle validation.
