  • Drive consensus on those requirements within the software and hardware teams.
  • Develop reusable, high-quality analysis and evaluation tools based on simulation and fleet data.
  • Use these and existing tools to design, debug, and execute tests.
  • Communicate recommendations andย  results of your analysis in technical reports and presentations to peers and leadership

You have:

  • An advanced degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering or other relevant technical field OR 4 years of practical experience involving perception or robotic systems
  • Experience in software engineering for simulation and data evaluation, using Python or other high level language (e.g. SQL, R, C++)
  • Comfortable juggling multiple projects at once and thriving in ambiguity
  • Experience managing projects with multiple contributors and stakeholders
  • Excellent technical communication and writing skills.

We prefer:

  • Experience with Systems Engineering fundamentals, including requirements definition and verification and validation techniques.
  • Experience with perception systems for robotics or autonomy, including work with lidar, camera, and/or radar sensor data
