Systems Engineer - Behavior Verification
Core
Define scenario and test set content for autonomous vehicle software releases, establish validity checks, and act as the gatekeeper for what enters the release pipeline to prove driver behavior is safe.
Role type
Senior IC systems engineer (behavior verification)
Builds
Evidence and test sets that determine whether autonomy software is promoted to production
Domain
Autonomous vehicles / Physical AI
Deliverable
production ML models
Required skills
Applied statistics, Python proficiency, test case design from requirements, safety-critical system verification, cross-functional collaboration, documentation and prioritization of test strategies
Preferred skills
Trucking or heavy-vehicle exposure, machine learning model evaluation, regulatory frameworks (NHTSA, ISO 26262, SOTIF), tooling for driving-log coverage extraction
Technologies
Python
Responsibilities
Design and document scenario and test sets establishing on-road behavior performance; define and run scenario validity checks; maintain quality feedback of artifacts (scenarios, taggers, graders, taxonomy); turn behavior requirements into testable criteria; investigate behavior deficiencies and return test escapes; distinguish genuine behavior failures from simulation artifacts; align verification phases and cadence with the organization
