Job Description

The role involves managing cross-functional programs to develop and implement verification and validation tools for autonomous driving systems, ensuring their reliability and safety for driverless deployment. It requires coordinating engineering efforts, defining requirements, and driving continuous improvement in validation infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead technical program execution for systems verification and validation tooling to ensure driverless readiness.
  • Coordinate integration of tooling with simulation and autonomy stacks across engineering teams.
  • Translate verification needs into concrete tooling requirements for perception, planning, control, and safety workflows.
  • Manage project plans, track progress, risks, and metrics using internal tools and dashboards.
  • Collaborate with engineers to develop infrastructure supporting model validation, synthetic data, and automation.
  • Conduct validation tool readiness reviews to meet safety and regulatory standards.
  • Provide updates, decision documentation, and risk assessments to stakeholders.
  • Identify workflow bottlenecks and implement improvements to accelerate validation cycles.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
  • 5 years of experience in technical program management, systems engineering, or software development in robotics, automotive, or related technology domains.
  • 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 translating high-level systems verification needs into concrete tooling requirements across perception, planning, control, and safety validation workflows.
  • Experience building and maintaining detailed execution plans, tracking progress, risks, and metrics.
  • Ability to partner 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.
