In this role, you will:
Establish strategies and methodologies to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of human operators in their contribution to the safety case.
Work cross-functionally to develop and execute comprehensive test plans (including simulation testing, bench testing, and vehicle structured testing, HIL testing) and procedures to verify and validate cloud-based product software for autonomous vehicle fleet operation.
Troubleshoot and debug issues in the field and trace failures to correct subsystems. Improve verification and validation coverages based on the failures observed.
Perform test data analysis and report test results. Maintain traceability between requirements, test cases, and results. Define and develop automated data extraction tools to streamline analysis and reporting.
Qualifications
B.S. or higher degree in Automotive Engineering, Aerospace, Robotics, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems Engineering, or a relevant field
6+ years of experience testing mission-critical cloud applications and infrastructures with emphasis on high availability and reliability
Demonstrated experience in integration testing of cloud-based software for safety-critical robotic systems and/or autonomous vehicles
Experience conducting human factors studies focused on safety-critical human-machine interfaces
Proficiency in basic statistics and probability
Experience with test scripting and data analysis languages (Python and SQL preferred)
Ability to manage ambiguity and drive progress independently
Strong communication skills and ability to work well with cross-functional teams
Bonus Qualifications
Familiarity with cloud-based software infrastructure (AWS) and communication protocols (DDS, HTTPS, gRPC)
Experience with test automation using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems or software-in-the-loop (SIL)
Experience with Linux Systems
