Staff Systems Engineer, Simulation Systems Verification and Validation Lead

What you'll do

• Own the end-to-end simulation V&V strategy, defining datasets, metrics, and comparison methods across integration levels.
• Lead the cross-functional validation program, including milestones, risks, dependencies, and decisions.
• Develop estimators and validation reports, present findings to leadership, and mentor engineers in V&V and systems thinking.

What they ask for

• M.S. or higher in a listed engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, or related field.
• 8+ years of verification and validation experience with safety-critical systems containing software or autonomy.
• Track record leading technical programs across several teams from an ambiguous problem to delivery.
• Experience validating a simulation or model against real-world data for decision support; experience with estimators combining simulated and real data or with modeling uncertainties and failure rates.

Nice to have

• Experience with sensor simulation, neural rendering or generative scene synthesis, perception evaluation, or closed-loop motion-planning evaluation at scale.
• Familiarity with listed model credibility and safety standards; hands-on Python and SQL; Ph.D. in a relevant field.
