Description

  • Own the planning, design, and execution of comprehensive validation campaigns across perception, planning, and control systems.
  • Validate AV behavior across simulation, SIL, HIL, and on-vehicle environments for scenarios critical to robotaxi reliability and rider experience.
  • Drive test execution and documentation to meet safety-critical standards, including ISO 26262 and ISO 21448 (SOTIF).
  • Focus validation on ODD limits, safe fallback behavior, and commercial release readiness.
  • Develop, maintain, and enhance test infrastructure and automation frameworks using Python, Shell, and related platforms.
  • Lead scenario-based testing and AV capability campaigns using tools such as Applied Intuition.
  • Design and execute testing for service-readiness features such as rider interactions, remote assistance handoffs, fleet operations protocols, and OTA update verification.
  • Define and track SQIs and KPIs related to rider experience and operational efficiency.
  • Conduct log analysis, support root-cause investigations across AV software and hardware, and use CAN-based tools for subsystem verification.
  • Lead QA review cycles, define release readiness gates, represent Test Engineering in cross-functional forums, and mentor junior engineers.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in software QA or system testing within AV, ADAS, robotics, or other safety-critical systems.
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Engineering, Robotics, ECE, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
  • Demonstrated expertise in test strategy, automation, and end-to-end testing for complex mechatronic or autonomous systems.
  • Experience planning and executing tests in simulated environments, including SIL and HIL.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and integrating quality gates for production-grade software releases.
  • Proven ability to lead technical efforts, mentor others, work with minimal oversight, and drive cross-functional alignment.
  • Master’s degree in a relevant field (preferred).
  • Deep familiarity with CAN-based tools such as CANalyzer or CANoe, plus logging and debugging techniques (preferred).
  • Working knowledge of industry safety standards such as ISO 26262 and SOTIF (preferred).
  • Familiarity with AV safety case development, robotaxi service features, ROS, cloud telemetry systems, AV data pipelines, or cross-site/global engineering environments (preferred).

Benefits

  • Base salary range of $125,000 to $167,000 USD.
  • Eligibility for additional compensation such as a bonus or company equity.
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Health savings accounts.
  • Life insurance and pet insurance.
