Accountabilities:: Define system architectures, requirements, and interfaces across Remote Operation, Fleet Orchestration, Mapping, and related autonomous vehicle systems. Design and continuously improve the interfaces and processes connecting the autonomy stack, remote operators, and customers. Establish, evaluate, and validate system performance targets using data pipelines, simulation environments, and verification and validation campaigns. Act as a key systems engineering partner across software, AI, autonomy, simulation, validation, and remote operations teams, helping identify system needs and improve capabilities such as perception, prediction, and planning. Model, document, and communicate complex system interactions while creating clear documentation for operational and customer experience workflows. Develop and maintain rigorous approaches to system performance evaluation, data quality, testing, and readiness. Evaluate emerging technologies, tools, and methodologies that can improve autonomous vehicle systems engineering and accelerate development. Contribute to the advancement and safety of autonomous vehicle technology by delivering accurate insights, performance metrics, and recommendations to development teams. Requirements 5+ years of systems engineering experience and a Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical discipline; a Master's degree is a plus. Strong proficiency in Python, together with a solid understanding of modern software development principles, production practices, Git, and standard version control workflows. Hands-on experience designing complex system interfaces, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and system-level architectures. Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, particularly in complex system performance evaluation, data analysis, and metrics development. Experience with high-availability infrastructure, customer experience or HMI systems, or mapping and routing technologies for autonomous vehicle fleets. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts, findings, and results to engineers, product managers, and leadership. Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced, agile, CI/CD environment. Strong attention to detail and a commitment to data quality, accuracy, rigorous testing, and reliable system performance. Preferred experience includes working with autonomous vehicle sensor data such as LiDAR, cameras, or radar, as well as planning, localization, simulation, regression testing, or V&V strategies. Familiarity with AV data pipelines and visualization tools such as Databricks or Looker, statistical analysis, machine learning techniques, Human-Machine Interfaces, and user experience studies is advantageous. Knowledge of autonomous vehicle safety standards, including UL 4600, ISO 26262, ISO 21448, or ISO/PAS 8800, is a plus.
