About the Work
The STE role involves hands-on technical work to design, align, structure, and continuously improve automated test pipelines and workflows:
- Design and implement automated test pipelines and tooling, ensuring easy adoption and minimal friction for Systems engineers.
- Drive standardization across all testing modalities by designing, implementing, and managing unified triage workflows across all workstreams.
- Establish a continuous feedback loop to improve V&V processes, specifically by leading root cause analyses and identifying testing gaps with Systems engineers.
- Turn identified system and pipeline gaps into concrete technical requests for partner teams (e.g., Data Platform, Simulation, Infra).
- Collaborate on and validate implemented solutions with partner teams, providing technical guidance, code review, and documentation to ensure solutions are scalable and meet the needs of Systems engineers.
About You
- 5+ years of technical work experience in a relevant area with 3+ years of experience with testing of autonomous vehicles/robotic systems.
- Hands-on software experience with the ability to code in Python or C++ for automation and tooling development.
- Experience in designing, implementing, and managing large scale simulation or test automation pipelines.
- Strong understanding of systems engineering concepts related to autonomy architecture, particularly how sensing, perception, prediction, and planning modules interact.
- Highly collaborative, with strong abilities to think and communicate analytically to drive cross-functional projects and provide technical guidance to partner teams like Simulation and Data Platform.
Bonus Points
- Experience with large scale simulation, or behavior verification, or Fault detection and Response testing for L2+ autonomous systems.
- Prior experience in defining and implementing triage prioritization strategies and workflows.
- Familiarity with linking test results as evidence to support the Autonomy safety case.
- Experience implementing testing pipelines, validation tooling, and triage workflows for complex projects.
