What you’ll do:

• Test software for autonomous systems – define nominal operational performance and metrics, analyze algorithms and find operational limits, design mission and operational scenarios to test platform performance  
• Work with functional teams to ensure interfaces are implemented and meeting specifications 
• Contribute to the documentation of the systems 
• Create integration tests within our testing frameworks  
• Integrate autonomy software on hardware and simulated platforms. Use simulation and hardware-in-the-loop setups to determine system performance 
• Identify data anomalies and design analyzers to automate the detection of these anomalies for regression identification 
• Review data from robot flights, identify performance weaknesses, and work with developers to design algorithm changes to improve performance 

Projects that you might work on:

• Anomaly discovery and automated reporting: Create automated tools to find anomalies in data, from test logs to signals. Identify instances of known patterns. Summarize robot performance / data quality using statistical measures and report with visual plots. Write toolboxes in python; write data queries in SQL; work with other teams to extend existing web-based infrastructure for reporting 
• Automate software-history bisection with hardware in the loop: Design an analyzer with binary output to determine performance criterion pass/fail. Run as part of a bisection-search over a history of software commits, automatically executing software in simulation and/or on hardware components to determine the introduction of specific behavior 
• Investigate approaches for evaluating large amounts of data from simulation, evaluating code performance andregression checking, as well as enabling evaluation of simulation-to-real-world performance   
• Create an integration test plan for the addition of new sensors to a platform 
• Facilitate the use of our software stack on a new prototype platform 
• Leverage your knowledge of our software and platforms to work on an R&D effort proving out future capabilities 

Required qualifications:

• Experience or desire to work in test design, requirement verification and validation 
• Software experience with Python and/or C++ 
• Typically requires a minimum of 10 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 8 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD with 5 years experience; or equivalent experience in robotics or related field (machine learning, data analysis) 
• You have a demonstrated record of working hard, being a trustworthy teammate, holding yourself and others to high standards, and being kind to others
