Description

  • Design and build autonomous driving simulation scenarios from scratch.
  • Recreate real-world traffic situations across urban, semi-urban, and highway environments.
  • Configure and control dynamic agents such as vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and other traffic actors programmatically.
  • Develop, modify, and maintain Python scripts to generate and execute simulation pipelines.
  • Run simulations through command-line interfaces and manage configurations.
  • Evaluate system behavior with a focus on safety, robustness, edge-case handling, fallback/takeover logic, and full autonomy behavior.
  • Identify unrealistic, unsafe, or inconsistent behaviors and support corrective improvements.
  • Support validation, verification, and safety compliance activities, including ISO 26262 awareness.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with perception, planning, controls, and safety teams.
  • Document simulation assumptions, configurations, and validation results.

Requirements

  • BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Automotive Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in ADAS or autonomous driving environments for Level 3 work, or 5+ years for Level 4 work.
  • Proven experience creating simulation scenarios from scratch, not limited to log replay.
  • Strong exposure to scenario-based validation and system behavior evaluation.
  • Experience working within defined operational design domains (ODDs).
  • Safety-related experience in simulation validation, safety analysis, or system behavior modeling.
  • Strong Python development experience in a Linux environment with CLI-based workflows.
  • Hands-on experience with simulation tools such as Applied Intuition, MATLAB/Simulink, CARLA, LGSVL Simulator, or equivalent platforms.
  • Experience configuring and controlling simulation agents programmatically.
  • Ability to debug and modify simulation models and scripts.
  • Experience collaborating in cross-functional engineering teams.
  • Experience in Level 3 takeover/fallback validation (preferred).
  • Experience in Level 4 urban autonomy or robotaxi programs (preferred).
  • Exposure to edge-case generation and scenario explosion methodologies (preferred).
  • Knowledge of ISO 26262 or automotive safety processes (preferred).
  • Experience with perception, planning, or sensor fusion validation (preferred).
  • Experience in large-scale simulation automation pipelines (preferred).
  • Experience working in global or multicultural teams (preferred).
  • Ability to mentor junior engineers (preferred).

Benefits

  • Mentorship and career growth opportunities.
  • Comprehensive benefits package.
  • Opportunity to work on advanced engineering challenges across aerospace, medical devices, robotics, automotive, EVs, rail, and more.
  • Equal opportunity employment protections.
  • Drug-free workplace with pre-employment screening as a condition of hire.
