Senior Autonomy Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Write C++ to efficiently search high-dimensional failure spaces at scale
• Use first-principles analysis to develop requirements for safe perception, localization, prediction, motion planning, and control, collaborating directly with the Autonomy Software teams building those systems
• Identify failure modes and edge cases that expose weaknesses in our system before they appear in on-road environments.
• Perform hazard analysis, risk assessments, and fault tree analysis that feed directly into our safety case and drive system design decisions
• Provide analysis to support complex autonomy system design trade-offs that affect safety and performance
• Lead and support structured testing campaigns like simulation, track, on-road, and hardware-in-the-loop to validate that our safety claims hold
• Pioneer new methods when existing ones aren't enough to hit our safety targets
• Drive safety thinking cross-functionally — this team doesn't sit in a corner; it shapes how everyone builds
