About the role

  • Role: As a Staff Software Systems Engineer on the Behavior Validation team within the AV organization, you will play a critical role in leading the strategy and execution of validation efforts for autonomous vehicle software. You will leverage your experience designing and implementing complex V&V strategies to quickly prototype, gain consensus, and move our programs forward with increased trust and efficiency. Your expertise will guide engineers in defining best practices, driving innovation in testing, and verifying the safety and performance of autonomous systems. You will be responsible for shaping the future of evaluation methodologies for AI systems and other ADAS features, architecting solutions that meet the testing needs of AI developers, systems engineers, and safety stakeholders. About the Organization: The Autonomous Vehicle (AV) organization is dedicated to advancing the development of autonomous vehicles through cutting-edge simulation technologies and novel iterative development processes. The Behavior Validation team focuses on unlocking software launches and continuous release decisions via simulation verification and validation strategies, prototypes, and protocols. Define requirements and metrics for validating safe and comfortable autonomous vehicle operations. Own analysis and characterization of one or multiple autonomous behaviors, influencing software development and launch decisions. Prototype and develop simulation-based and road-based testing strategies that support continuous and scaled software release cycles. Combine experience in systems engineering and data analysis to facilitate data driven design, validation, risk analysis, and prioritization decisions. Own roadmaps for developing long-term and stable requirements, verification/validation, and/or software solutions to advanced problems over multiple product lifecycles. Mentor team members and facilitate cross-team collaboration to define behavioral validation strategies for new launches.
