Validation Engineer

Sensor System Validation Engineer

Hybrid role - 3 days Onsite and 2 days Remote Onsite in Foster City, CA | at least 3 days in office

Contribute to sensor systems (lidar / camera / radar) verification and validation (V&V) activities, for next generation vehicle platforms. Work with systems engineers, software engineers and sensor hardware engineers to create, and iterate V&V methodologies for next generation sensor architecture. Design and execute test plans in simulation environments to verify sensing systems requirements and validate system-level performance. Translate bounding scenario requirements into actionable data mining plans, and execute the plans to create validation datasets.

Integrate and orchestrate software pipelines to convert sensor data into system-level KPIs. Write reusable sensor systems analysis and test automation software (Python and/or C++).

A Ph.D. degree in relevant fields OR a master degree in engineering with 3+ years work experience in sensor / perception systems development and/or testing. Familiarity with at least one of the sensor modalities: camera, lidar and radar. Experience with Data Mining (SQL, PySpark, Scala, or similar). Experience analyzing data using Python or other high level languages (e.g. Matlab, C++). Experience working and communicating in a collaborative environment.

Familiarity with perception, autonomous vehicles or robotics. Experience with systems engineering V&V. Experience with sensor simulation, synthesis and/or fault injection. Experience in test automation, particularly in production environments. Experience with workflow orchestration.
