About the role

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.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Base pay range: $160,360 - $291,150
  • Annual performance bonus
  • Equity
