At Applied Intuition, you will:

Create V&V plans based on product requirements to thoroughly test autonomy software in simulation and on-vehicle
Create and maintain simulation test scenarios using Applied Intuition's tools
Create and maintain system tests as part of routine system assessments and continuous integration
Work with engineers to determine how to test different parts of the autonomy stack and report back test failures
Organize and execute field testing to test autonomy software on-vehicle in various environments

We're looking for someone who has:

Passion for bringing a complex system of software and hardware components to a production-ready state
A collaborative mindset and deep interest in understanding the functionality of autonomy software
2+ years of experience creating and executing test plans for software and hardware systems
