Lead Verification Engineer (m/f/d)

Responsibilities

• Strategic Test Leadership: Drive and advance our testing methodologies for complex autonomy projects, ensuring we stay at the forefront of industry standards.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Systems Engineering, Development and Product teams to deeply understand program scope, system architecture and operational design domains (ODD).
• Test Strategy Development: Derive and implement tailored test strategies for each project, addressing the unique challenges of a modern autonomy stack based on multi-modal perception and machine learning.
• Test Execution: When needed, support data collection and test execution. This can include vehicle operation, structured test setup configuration, triggering data recordings and documenting results and issues.
• Compliance & Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify gaps in existing test strategies. Ensure validation and verification (V&V) activities meet internal project expectations and stringent legal/regulatory requirements.
• Executive Reporting: Evaluate and compile comprehensive test reports. You will provide the structured evidence required by leadership to make informed product release decisions.

Requirements

• Autonomy Expertise: A solid understanding of modern autonomy stacks, with specific knowledge of multi-modal perception pipelines and integrated Machine Learning components.
• Machine Learning: A good grasp of Machine Learning approaches and their impact on system behavior and verifiability.
• Systems Validation: Solid understanding of the pros, cons, and applications of SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), and component-level testing.
• Testing Paradigms: Proven experience in structured testing methodologies and large-scale re-simulation.
• Simulation Frameworks: Basic familiarity with simulation frameworks, including an understanding of their technical limitations and "sim-to-real" fidelity gaps.
• Collaborative Problem Solving: Ability to interface effectively with systems, software, and hardware engineers to design valid test strategies and efficiently evaluate test output data.
