Job Description
A Senior Staff Systems Engineer responsible for verifying the safety and compliance of autonomous driving systems, including developing requirements, designing verification metrics, and collaborating across teams to ensure safe deployment of autonomous vehicles.
Key Responsibilities
- Create requirements for autonomous system safety within its operational design domain (ODD) and ensure compliance with traffic rules
- Design metrics and acceptance criteria to verify autonomous system performance and safety
- Develop and implement diverse testing strategies, including simulation, on-road logs, and closed-course testing, to validate requirements
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop acceptance criteria and verification workflows
- Quantify test coverage and ensure simulation realism for deployment readiness
- Analyze test results to provide evidence supporting 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.
- Create requirements for an autonomous system, ensuring safe operation within its ODD and compliance with the rules of the road.
- Design generalizable metrics and acceptance criteria to verify that the autonomous system satisfies these requirements, leveraging safety standards and methodologies.
- Propose and leverage diverse test strategies - synthetic and log simulation, on-road logs, closed-course testing, third-party accident reconstructions - to verify requirements.
- Collaborate closely with Behavior, Perception, Data Science, Product, Legal, and Public Trust teams to develop acceptance criteria for metrics and tests.
- Partner with simulation infrastructure and test integration teams to set up automated verification workflows.
- Quantify coverage of the tests for the ODD, ensuring simulation realism and relevance for deployment.
- Link the results from the tests as evidence to support the Autonomy Safety Case.
