About the job
Defines and validates scenario-based tests that determine whether autonomous-driving software meets on-road behavior requirements and can advance through release gates.
What you'll do
- Design scenario and test sets, run validity checks, and approve or reject sets for release evaluation.
- Maintain quality of scenarios, taggers, graders, and taxonomies; translate behavior requirements into testable criteria.
- Investigate behavior deficiencies and test escapes, distinguish software failures from simulation artifacts, and coordinate verification across teams.
What they ask for
- Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree in a relevant engineering or related field.
- Experience verifying safety-critical systems; ideally in autonomous vehicles.
- Demonstrated experience designing test cases from requirements and assessing test-set coverage.
- Applied statistics and proficiency in Python, including ability to navigate a large codebase.
Nice to have
- Trucking or heavy-vehicle exposure; machine learning experience, particularly model evaluation and false-positive / false-negative trade-offs.
- Exposure to NHTSA, ISO 26262, or SOTIF; familiarity with tooling to extract coverage and exposure from large driving-log sets.
Pay
$149,000 - $190,000 USD base salary; $160,000 - $204,000 CAD base salary
Tools
