About the Work- 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.
About You- 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.
Bonus Points- AV or ADAS background.
- Familiarity with other safety standards such as STPA, ISO-21448
