Senior System Test Engineer - Simulation

Role overview

Own system-level simulation testing for autonomous driving software, using virtual environments to verify perception and vehicle behavior. The work spans test strategy, scenario coverage, analysis of results, and collaboration with development, integration, product, systems, and safety teams to improve the robustness and safety of the technology.

Responsibilities

- Plan and run simulation test campaigns for autonomous vehicle verification and validation. - Work with product, systems, and safety partners to shape simulation strategies. - Maintain and expand scenario libraries across abstract, logical, and concrete levels to improve operational design domain coverage. - Identify testing gaps and define needs for simulation tools, environments, and frameworks. - Coordinate with internal tools groups and outside vendors to improve virtual testing capabilities. - Analyze and triage results, then communicate findings through dashboards and reports.

Requirements

- A bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering or computing field plus at least six years of experience, or a master’s degree plus at least three years. - Experience with virtual testing and simulation of perception and autonomous vehicle behavior. - Experience authoring test scenarios using the ASM OpenSCENARIO standard, especially abstract or logical scenarios. - Experience developing test cases and procedures. - YAML scripting and Python-based data analysis skills. - Strong system troubleshooting skills, including fault isolation and system-level analysis. - Proficiency with Linux, and working knowledge of probability and linear algebra. - Ability to report progress and test results clearly; familiarity with current autonomous vehicle validation approaches.

Nice to have

- Automotive or comparable testing and validation experience. - Experience developing or validating sensor, traffic, or vehicle dynamics models. - ROS experience and ability to mentor less experienced engineers.
