The Senior Systems Engineer joins the team to define requirements and metrics for validating perception software to ensure safe and comfortable autonomous vehicle operations. This role involves owning the analysis and characterization of perception systems to influence software development and launch decisions. The engineer will prototype and develop simulation-based and road-based testing strategies to support continuous software release cycles. Key responsibilities include mentoring team members, facilitating cross-team collaboration, and managing long-term roadmaps for requirements verification. The position requires proficiency in SQL, Python, and C++ for large data sets, along with skills in systems analysis, statistical analysis, and evaluating machine-learned systems. Candidates must understand vehicle dynamics, physics-based requirements, and detection metrics like precision, recall, and footprint overlap to solve complex perception and state estimator problems.
