Meet the team:

The Test Execution and Release Management department plays a critical role in product engineering. The teams are responsible for ensuring the safe and successful deployment of autonomous vehicles, by implementing rigorous testing processes, using advanced testing tools to collect data and analyze the system performance.

A Senior Autonomy Integration and Test Engineer is responsible for various test activities related to hardware, software and firmware integration of our self-driving truck solution. The responsibilities involve systematically testing the integration of subsystems and components, troubleshooting, data collection, analysis of data collected during testing, developing a continuous integration pipeline, orchestrating functional deployments, and helping with release delivery. The ideal candidate is also well versed in hardware-in-the-loop test setups and can design and execute test scenarios ensuring adherence to specifications and performance metrics.

What you will be doing:

• Support integration of components and subsystems to enable the deployment of self-driving software onto vehicles and test benches
• Develop and execute test plans, performing closed course and on-road evaluation of updates prior to deployment to extended testing groups
• Lead day-to-day test activities on vehicle, debug HIL bench issues as required, and develop new test capabilities
• Evaluate full system performance, understanding the contributions of relevant sub-systems, providing feedback to development teams
• Assist with troubleshooting of component and system integration issues, guiding the team to an efficient resolution
• Leverage results from automated software testing pipeline to increase the efficiency of the system integration release process
• Maintain a rapid integration and deployment schedule for self-driving software stack with consistent releases to extended testing teams
• Develop data analysis scripts and visualization tools to quickly extract key learnings and trends from HIL testing
• Create requirements for new tools or automation to increase overall testing capabilities and track and report system performance KPIs on a regular basis

What you will need to succeed:

• Master’s degree in systems engineering, computer science, robotics, or related technical field and 7+ years technical design experience for robotic, automotive, or aerospace systems

• Experience with software development tools i.e. build systems, containers, source control etc.
