Senior Systems Engineer - Autonomy Behavior

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Own end-to-end validation for one or more autonomous driving behaviors, from initial behavior scoping and requirements definition to product launch.
• Combine simulation, road data, closed-course testing, and expert review to evaluate behavior across large scenario sets, diverse conditions, software versions, and fleet configurations.
• Define, deploy, and refine metrics, test strategies and acceptance criteria for autonomous behavior for simulation and road.
• Partner with teams across and outside the autonomy organization to assess, author, and present behavior readiness for release and launch decisions.

Job requirements

• Master’s degree in systems engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, robotics, or a related field.
• 5 or more years of professional experience in systems engineering, autonomous vehicles, robotics, simulation, or safety-critical validation.
• Proven experience evaluating autonomous vehicles in support of a commercial fleet launch.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering fundamentals, including system decomposition, use-case definition, requirements authoring, interface definition, verification planning, and traceability.
• Professional experience designing or executing simulation-based evaluations at scale, not just isolated scenario demonstrations.
• Strong Python experience for data analysis, test automation, simulation workflows, and engineering tools and exposure to agentic workflows.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of working effectively across teams.
• Demonstrated ability to manage stakeholders, resolve ambiguity, set expectations, and drive work to completion without waiting for a perfect process.
