Our client, a leader in the Autonomous Vehicles Industry, is looking for a skilled Sensor Systems Test Engineer to join their team for a 6+ months engagement. This project involves contributing to the verification and validation (V&V) of cutting-edge sensor systems (lidar, camera, radar) for next-generation vehicle platforms and recurring hardware changes. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

• Contribute to V&V: Contribute to sensor systems (lidar / camera / radar) verification and validation (V&V) activities, for next generation vehicle platforms and recurring hardware changes.
• Optimize V&V Methodologies: Work with systems engineers, software engineers and sensor hardware engineers to create, standardize and optimize V&V methodologies for scalable sensor systems change deployment.
• Design and Execute Test Plans: Design and execute test plans to verify sensing systems requirements and validate system-level performance.
• Data Analysis & Reporting: Bring up test setup and tools, analyze test data and communicate the results in technical reports and exec updates.
• Develop Test Automation Software: Write reusable sensor data analysis and test automation software (Python and/or C++).

• 6+ years of experience in sensor systems development and/or testing.
• Deep expertise in at least one of the sensor modalities (camera, lidar, and radar), hands-on hardware debugging, and testing. This isn’t a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
• Experience analyzing data using Python or other high level languages (e.g. Matlab, C++).
• Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team and experience working in a collaborative environment.
• Experience with systems engineering V&V and test automation, particularly in production environments.
• Familiarity with Git.
