Base Salary
$176k - $320k/yr
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement generalizable metrics in Python to verify autonomous vehicle driving behavior.
- Use machine learning models and safety metrics from literature to evaluate end-to-end driving behavior.
- Evaluate metrics using synthetic and log simulation, on-road logs, closed-course testing data, and third-party accident reconstructions.
- Collaborate with Systems, Behavior, Perception, Data Science, Product, Legal, and Public Trust teams to define acceptance criteria for metrics and tests.
- Partner with simulation infrastructure and test integration teams to establish automated verification workflows.
- Produce detailed performance and validation reports demonstrating that autonomous behavior is safe to deploy within the target Operation Design Domain.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of technical work experience in a relevant area, including at least 3 years of software development experience.
- Proficiency coding in Python or C++.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or a related field.
- Strong understanding of robotic systems architecture, including sensing, localization, perception, prediction, behavior, and control modules.
- Familiarity with simulation and real-world testing of autonomous systems.
- Strong analytical, communication, and collaboration abilities.
- Experience developing software for L4 autonomous vehicles is preferred.
- Experience building computational models for driving behavior or machine-learning-based metrics for behavior evaluation is preferred.
Benefits
- Eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.
