Own system-level simulation testing and virtual verification of autonomous driving software. Plan test campaigns, develop scenarios and test procedures, maintain scenario libraries, identify testing gaps, improve simulation toolchains, analyze results, and communicate dashboards and reports to stakeholders. Support development and integration teams through troubleshooting, fault isolation, and system-level analysis while helping improve autonomous vehicle safety and robustness.
What you will do
As a Simulation Test Engineer, you will own system-level simulation testing of our autonomous driving software. You will focus on the virtual verification and validation of both perception and autonomous. You will also provide support to Torc’s development and integration teams and be instrumental in growing the robustness and safety of our self-driving technology.
- Identify, plan, and execute simulation test campaigns for autonomous vehicle V&V efforts.
- Interface with Product, Systems, and Safety teams to develop V&V simulation strategies.
- Maintain and improve Torc's Scenario Library, containing Abstract, Logical, and Concrete scenarios to ensure robust ODD coverage.
- Acknowledge testing gaps and derive requirements for new or improved test tools, simulation environments, and test frameworks.
- Coordinate with internal tools teams and external vendors to evolve Torc's simulation and virtual testing toolchains.
- Perform in-depth analysis and triage of simulation results, including development of dashboards and test reports to communicate results clearly to stakeholders.
