Responsibilities
- Create a framework to conclusively demonstrate each new trajectory meets the safety criteria
- Conduct vehicle dynamics analysis and simulation to assess interactions and ensure consistency between trajectory planning and trajectory execution
- Develop requirements for the trajectory management and validation algorithms
- Develop validation methods, tools, and solutions based on real world data and simulation
Qualifications
- B.S. degree in Mechanical, Controls, Robotics, or Systems Engineering
- 4+ years experience with vehicle dynamics and motion planning, and/or vehicle closed loop control system
- Proficiency with tools for manipulating and processing large datasets
- Familiarity with failure analysis, FMEA, fault tree analysis, etc.
- Collaborative team player with strong written and in-person communication skills
Bonus Qualifications
- M.S. or higher degree in Mechanical, Controls, Robotics, or Systems Engineering
- Analytical skills and experience with scripting or programming language such as Python or C++
- Experience with safety-critical systems
- Familiarity with automotive ADAS systems
- Familiarity with simulated vehicle dynamics, response, and/or path planning
