About the role

We are looking for an Autonomous Vehicle Test Engineer to lead Verification & Validation (V&V) efforts for autonomous ground vehicles. Among your responsibilities will be creating and executing test plans of autonomy modules for perception, prediction, motion planning, localization, and controls. Your V&V work will cover both in-simulation testing using Applied Intuition's software and on-vehicle testing using hardware owned by Applied Intuition or our customers. Your work will be critical to enable our development of a production-ready autonomy software for off-road ground vehicles.

In addition to your testing contributions, by working in our dynamic and customer-focused team culture, you will contribute to and learn from best practices in the nascent autonomy industry. We move fast and focus on excellence for our products and for our business. If you are hands-on and looking for a place to have a multiplying effect on making autonomous systems a reality, Applied Intuition Intuition is the place for you! 

At Applied Intuition, you will:

  • Create V&V plans based on product requirements to thoroughly test autonomy software in simulation and on-vehicle
  • Create and maintain simulation test scenarios using Applied Intuition's tools
  • Create and maintain system tests as part of routine system assessments and continuous integration
  • Work with engineers to determine how to test different parts of the autonomy stack and report back test failures
  • Organize and execute field testing to test autonomy software on-vehicle in various environments

We're looking for someone who has:

  • Passion for bringing a complex system of software and hardware components to a production-ready state
  • A collaborative mindset and deep interest in understanding the functionality of autonomy software
  • 2+ years of experience creating and executing test plans for software and hardware systems

Nice to have:

  • Previous experience in V&V at an autonomous vehicle company
  • Previous experience testing large vehicles in defense, mining, construction, or agriculture
