Job Title: Embedded Triage Engineer
Job Description
The Embedded Triage Engineer will evaluate performance data and test results from on-road and simulation testing. This role involves traditional embedded system triaging and investigating simulation data through counterfactual analysis. The engineer will perform forensic analysis of robotic disengagements and collaborate cross-functionally to transform and enhance system triage and forensic processes. Strong experience in large-scale, safety-critical systems or software development is essential.
Responsibilities
- Perform triage, tracking, and metric reporting for system anomalies and test escapes.
- Utilize 3D visualization tools to analyze sensor data and identify root causes of complex software/hardware issues.
- Report on software quality using defect ratios and software heatmap viewpoints.
- Analyze autonomous vehicle behaviors from public roads and closed-course testing.
- Utilize simulation tools to identify edge-case scenarios and enhance Reinforcement Learning & Training models.
- Conduct counterfactual simulations of selected events, providing critical analysis to mitigate unsafe system behaviors.
- Collaborate on tooling requirements for efficient triage and data visualization, aiming to extract insights regarding software maturity.
- Maintain and optimize the defect management process and ensure high-quality bug ticketing.
- Contribute to a rapid integration and deployment schedule, supporting consistent software stack releases.
- Track and follow-up on high priority and blocking defects, ensuring continued progress.
Essential Skills
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, Systems Engineering or a related technical field.
- 3-5+ years of industry experience leading test programs focusing on system triage, defect tracking, and impact analysis.
- Experience with complex embedded systems including ADAS technologies, autonomous driving software, and sensors.
