Design, build, and execute simulations and automated tests to validate autonomous vehicle software. Collaborate with Data Science and Systems Engineering to create gating protocols, generate complex simulation scenarios using Python and SQL, triage failures, and improve test automation, tooling, and coverage. Document work in JIRA and train users on test creation and analysis.
Description
DUTIES : Develop and execute software tests to identify software problems for driverless technology company. Duties may include: Build simulations for testing AV (Autonomous vehicle) software stack to discover issues and act as gating for software releases. Collaborate with cross functional teams including Data Science (DS) and Systems Engineering (SE) for designing gating/non-gating protocols to track existing issues and detect progression/regression in AV software in every release and PR merges. Design and build solutions for generating complex simulation scenarios programmatically using Python and SQL to stress test the AV software. Create test plans for new features and capabilities to validate AV software performance. Build new tools and solutions for increasing the productivity of the Systems Testing team to improve quality of company- wide testing deliverables. Build solutions using existing simulation tools for automating the process of test creation based on the events observed on the road for specific problem areas to increase the test coverage and reduce the time to test creation. Collaborate with DS and SE teams to identify and devise the metrics required for measuring the performance of AV. Triage and analyze the test failures encountered and apply the fixes for ensuring the testing quality standards are met. Understand the requirements of testing from customers and provide the testing solutions. Create simulation artifacts that allow testing the AV stack accurately. Document and track the deliverables in JIRA for efficient cross collaboration and leadership visibility. Report issues/bug in the simulation tools to improve the overall testing quality. Work with the tooling team and provide required customer feedback and requirements to build a good quality tool for increased productivity. Train users on test creation, execution, and analysis. Review all tests used to verify a feature. 100% telecommuting available.
REQUIREMENTS : Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field and 3 years of experience as a Systems Test Engineer, Software Engineer, Software Test Engineer, or a related occupation. Experience with: Developing Automated Pipelines for Test Creation, Maintenance, and Reporting using object-oriented programming; SQL and BigQuery; Developing Robot Operating System (ROS) using Python programming; Mathematical Modeling; Data Science/Machine learning and applications; Building Test Automation Framework; and Systems Testing.
Compensation:
• The expected base compensation for this role is $189,791.26 to $234,100.00 Annually.
• Actual base compensation within the identified range will vary based on factors relevant to the position.
• Bonus Potential: An incentive pay program offers payouts based on company performance, job level, and individual performance.
