Job Description
A Senior Staff Software Engineer specializing in behavior fault architecture and detection validation, responsible for developing fault handling, validation methods, and system robustness for autonomous driving software within a cross-disciplinary systems engineering team.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify faults within the autonomous software stack and refine fault handling criteria
- Design fault and fail-operational architecture for autonomous systems
- Implement test methodologies to verify and validate fault detection and system resilience
- Develop tools and frameworks to inject faults and analyze system responses during testing
- Define requirements for fault handling and stress testing across the autonomy software architecture
- Collaborate with engineering teams to extract metrics and performance indicators for system readiness
- Support development of automated evaluation tools for test logs and contingency satisfaction
Requirements
- At least 3 years of technical work experience in robotics software or a relevant area.
- Bachelor's Degree or Master's Degree candidate in Computer Science, Math, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or a related field.
- Strong programming and algorithmic problem solving skills in C and C++.
- Experience working in a team with strong software engineering practices.
- Highly collaborative with strong abilities to think and communicate analytically and effectively.
- Self-starter and fast learner with a passion for acquiring new skills and approaching unstructured problems from first principles.
- At least 3 years of experience in multiple of the following areas: software development in robotics, behavior, motion planning, or routing.
- Experience with Linux or Unix computer systems engineering, including communication protocols, designing fault-tolerant systems, and atomicity and coordination of concurrent activities for complex autonomous software.
- Experience analyzing and managing Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) for the software stack on semi-autonomous or autonomous vehicles or equipment.
- Experience defining requirements using data-driven and first-principle techniques.
- Experience implementing test coverage for faults.
- Experience identifying emergent behavior in safety-critical complex systems, including interactions between modules.
- Experience with end-to-end functional decomposition, defining physical and logical architectures, allocating functionality, and conducting reliability analysis of safety-critical complex systems via STPA or other hazard analysis techniques.
- Experience with adaptive stress testing or probabilistic software diagnostics.
