Job Description
A Senior Staff Systems Engineer responsible for verifying the safety and compliance of autonomous driving systems, developing test strategies, and collaborating across teams to ensure autonomous vehicle safety within specified operational conditions.
Key Responsibilities
- Create requirements for autonomous system safety within its operational design domain (ODD) and compliance with traffic rules.
- Design metrics and acceptance criteria to verify autonomous system performance and safety standards.
- Develop and implement diverse test strategies, including simulation, on-road logs, and closed-course testing, to validate system requirements.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop acceptance criteria and automate verification workflows.
- Quantify test coverage and ensure simulation realism to support the Autonomy Safety Case.
Requirements
- 5 years of technical work experience in a relevant area with 3 years of experience with development or validation of autonomous vehicles robotic systems
- Experience creating behavior requirements for SAE L2, L3, or L4 autonomous systems or other robotic systems to operate safely within its ODD
- Experience with simulation and real-world testing of autonomous systems
- Strong understanding of the autonomy architecture - how sensing, localization, perception, prediction, behavior, and control modules interact
- Hands-on software experience, with the ability to code in Python or C
- Experience with developing requirements for an autonomous system, ensuring safe operation within its ODD and compliance with the rules of the road
- Experience designing generalizable metrics and acceptance criteria to verify that the autonomous system satisfies these requirements, leveraging safety standards and methodologies
- Experience proposing and leveraging diverse test strategies such as synthetic and log simulation, on-road logs, closed-course testing, and third-party accident reconstructions to verify requirements
- Experience collaborating closely with cross-functional teams including Behavior, Perception, Data Science, Product, Legal, and Public Trust teams to develop acceptance criteria for metrics and tests
- Experience partnering with simulation infrastructure and test integration teams to set up automated verification workflows
- Experience quantifying coverage of tests for the ODD, ensuring simulation realism and relevance for deployment
- Experience linking test results as evidence to support the Autonomy Safety Case
