Come join the team and see how we can make a lasting impact on the world.
What you’ll be doing:
• Develop use cases and system requirements for L3 and L4 autonomous driving products based on customer needs, traffic regulations, certification standards, and industry guidelines.
• Perform system-level analysis to define performance requirements and allocate performance budgets across subsystems.
• Formulate test cases and define critical performance metrics to ensure compliance with functional and safety requirements.
• Define and drive online and offline test strategy and execution at both vehicle and component levels.
• Partner closely with Data Analytics, Test Engineering, and System Integration & Test teams.
Ensure the right evaluators and important metrics are developed.
Prove that datasets cover sufficient scenarios and requirements.
Target appropriate sampling strategies through Data Collection and Real-World Driving.
• Establish strong multi-functional relationships with collaborators across engineering, safety, validation, and product teams.
• Drive innovation in requirements decomposition, traceability, and verification processes.
• Promote and cultivate a strong systems engineering approach across the organization. What we need to see:
To succeed in this role, you should have:
• MS or PhD in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8 years proven experience in safety-critical systems engineering, system analysis, data analysis, and software architecture.
• Strong software development background with proven coding skills.
• Hands-on experience in SOTIF analysis (ISO 21448), functional safety (ISO 26262), and multi-functional architectural trade-off analysis.
• Strong leadership and interpersonal skills, with the ability to drive alignment across large organizations.
• Proven understanding of trade-offs between End-to-End deep learning approaches, classical modular perception/planning stacks, and associated validation and test strategies.
Ways to Stand Out from the crowd:
• Experience contributing to a launched L3/L4 autonomous vehicle program.
• Experience in AI safety and safety validation for ML-based systems.
• Hands-on experience with large-scale datasets, data science, and analytics workflows.
• Strong software engineering experience with proficiency in Python, SQL, and C.
