Description

  • Own and evolve scalable vehicle-modeling and simulation architecture across vehicle types, sensors, and fleet configurations.
  • Develop and maintain high-fidelity truck and vehicle-dynamics models covering nominal, off-nominal, and failure-mode scenarios.
  • Define statistical validation metrics and robustness-testing frameworks supporting safety-case claims and driver-out certification.
  • Design and scale closed-loop simulation, regression, and controller/planner interaction testing for large-scale V&V and RL training.
  • Partner with autonomy teams to capture requirements for planning, controls, and system-level validation.
  • Communicate model capabilities, limitations, technical direction, design decisions, and release information across teams.
  • Perform root-cause analysis for simulation and hardware-in-the-loop issues and drive data-acquisition and telemetry test plans.
  • Set direction for system-level test plans and verification strategies across the simulation organization.
  • Collaborate with OEM partners and simulation vendors to evaluate, integrate, and co-develop capabilities.
  • Mentor engineers and improve code quality, development processes, and testing rigor.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant technical field plus 10+ years of relevant experience, master’s degree plus 7+ years, or PhD plus 3+ years.
  • Deep proficiency in C++, Python, ROS/ROS2, CMake, and Linux.
  • Strong experience with physics-based ground-vehicle modeling, including longitudinal and lateral dynamics, tire models, and powertrain systems.
  • Working knowledge of autonomous-vehicle architecture, including planning, controls, and system integration.
  • Experience defining statistical validation metrics and robustness frameworks for formal safety-case claims.
  • Experience with unit, integration, and regression testing, automated validation pipelines, and simulation benchmarking at scale.
  • Ability to drive technical consensus and make cross-organization architectural decisions with minimal supervision.
  • Experience owning technical systems across multiple repositories and contributing to technical direction.
  • Experience mentoring engineers in simulation and autonomy domains.
  • Preferred: technical leadership of vehicle-simulation teams, heavy-vehicle or truck-and-trailer modeling, large-scale closed-loop AV simulation, scenario validation, sim-to-real correlation, or learned-model workflows.

Benefits

  • $186,200–$223,400 USD hiring range, with bonus and stock options.
  • 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees.
  • 401(k) plan with a 6% employer match.
  • Flexible scheduling and generous paid vacation available immediately after starting.
  • Company-wide holiday office closures.
  • AD&D and life insurance.
  • Potential sign-on payments, relocation assistance, and additional compensation depending on the position.
