- Coordinate integration of tooling with simulation, perception, planning, control, and safety validation workflows.
- Define requirements and manage priorities for scalable and reliable verification and validation infrastructure.
- Track progress, risks, and metrics of validation tool development and deployment.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to evolve validation infrastructure supporting model validation, synthetic data, and automation.
- Ensure validation tools meet safety and regulatory standards for driverless systems.
- Provide updates, decision documentation, and risk assessments to stakeholders.
- Identify and implement improvements to validation workflows to accelerate system testing cycles.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.

- Proven experience leading cross-functional programs involving multiple engineering disciplines such as software, hardware, autonomy, or systems.
- Strong understanding of system verification and validation, testing frameworks, or simulation infrastructure.
- Demonstrated ability to manage complex dependencies, drive alignment, and communicate effectively across technical and leadership audiences.
- Proficiency with agile program tools e.g., Jira, Asana and technical documentation platforms e.g., Confluence.
- Experience with building and maintaining detailed execution plans, tracking progress, risks, and metrics using internal tools such as Asana, Confluence, or custom dashboards.
- Ability to translate high-level systems verification needs into concrete tooling requirements across perception, planning, control, and safety validation workflows.
- Experience partnering with systems and simulation engineers to evolve infrastructure supporting model validation, synthetic data, test orchestration, and automation at scale.
- Experience driving validation tool readiness reviews and ensuring the VV tooling stack meets regulatory and internal safety certification standards for driverless operations.
- Ability to provide regular program updates, decision documents, and risk assessments to technical and leadership stakeholders.
- Experience identifying bottlenecks in tooling workflows and implementing improvements to accelerate system validation cycles.
- Technical depth in Python, C++, or data tooling pipelines sufficient to engage engineers on design trade-offs.
