Autonomy System Validation Engineer - Autonomous Driving

About the role

We are looking for an autonomy system validation engineer focused on on-road Autonomy with a background in ADAS, and/or autonomous driving. This engineer will work on system validation efforts for autonomy modules and support autonomy performance evaluation. This engineer will play a critical role in shaping the technical direction of this project in the automotive industry space.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Develop and execute the system validation strategy for one or more autonomy modules (perception, planning, prediction, localization) for L4 trucking.
• Build comprehensive test plans and specifications across testing modalities including simulation and real-world testing.
• Work closely with systems engineering teams on validation test plans to ensure completeness and coverage across ODD and behavior.
• Develop and implement strategies for analyzing real-world data to measure performance and identify challenging and relevant events.
• Identify, develop and measure performance metrics and report on performance evaluation.
• Identify, build and deploy frameworks/pipelines to enable metric generation and evaluation.
• Trace identified metrics to the safety case tree.
• Support generation of the safety case and release recommendation reports.

We're looking for someone who has:

• 5+ years of experience in ADAS or Autonomous driving.
• MS/BS degree in Robotics, Aerospace, Computer Science, or equivalent required.
• Experience with ADAS, autonomous systems, and robotics.
• Knowledge of existing standards and regulations relevant in the automotive industry, esp. ISO 26262, ISO 21448, UL4600.
• Knowledge of architectural design of ADAS/AV systems.
• Experience with scripting and simulation tools.
• Mastery of strong collaboration with other teams, customers, and companies to ensure high-quality deliverables.

Nice to have:

• Prior work in either autonomous vehicles or ADAS or aerospace.
• Project management and leadership experience in the AV industry.
• Experience in the AV and robotics fields.
