Senior Software Engineer, Collision Avoidance Testing
- Identify and design realistic scenarios to drive test coverage of collision avoidance scenarios and collision detection scenarios using replay simulations of logs and synthetic simulation of third-party accident reconstructions.
- Identify gaps in simulation and public roads testing and design structured test scenarios to address these gaps and by leveraging appropriate standards from NHTSA or NCAP.
- Support the building of and using models to quantify risk in scenarios with non-zero probability of collision.
- Author test and residual risk reports, and make strategic recommendations based on the results for improving simulation or test realism and autonomy architecture.
- Support the safety case by identifying, documenting, and communicating collision avoidance and simulation or test realism claims.
- Communicate effectively across onboard and offboard SWE, Test Operations, and Leadership to present risks and requirements effectively.
- Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s Degree, or Doctoral Degree in Computer Science, Math, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or related field.
- Strong algorithmic problem solving skills and coding (preferably Python or C++) experience to implement scalable solutions.
- Experience with both simulation and physical testing of autonomous vehicles using well-defined metrics to score good behavior.
- Experience developing collision-type metrics, evaluation tooling, or CICD test pipelines to quantify robot performance in test environments.
- Highly collaborative in nature with strong abilities to think and communicate analytically and effectively, both verbal and written.
- Self-starter and fast learner - you should be passionate about picking up new skills and approaching unstructured problems from first principles while prioritizing and managing workload to meet critical project deadlines.
- 5+ years of technical work experience in a relevant area, of which 3+ years should be in robotics SW.
- Working knowledge of and ability to apply systems engineering concepts of requirements, verification and validation.
- Experience with developing collision metrics for self-driving vehicles.
- Experience writing safety claims and system requirements for SAE L3/L4 systems to operate safely.
- Hands-on experience with STPA and ISO 21448.
