Sr. Virtual Test Engineer - Simulation

What you’ll do: 

• The Virtual Test Engineer supports testing of our autonomous trucks in a virtual testing environment, using a combination of data replay from real-world test data and simulation of real-world test and driving scenarios. In this role, you would be responsible for supporting our software, systems, test, and release teams in the execution of virtual testing of Torc’s software components and integrated autonomous driving systems.  As a subject matter expert in the use of virtual testing you would provide expertise and assistance in the generation of use cases and test scenarios to support testing of virtual driver software and would provide additional support in the use of simulation-based and date replay-based tools and test environments. As an implementer, you would develop simulation-based test scenarios, oversee execution of test plans and associated scenarios in the simulation and replay-based test environments, perform post-test activities including test event log analysis, and help to identify requirements for new or modified virtual testing tools, test infrastructure, and simulations of real-world components including vehicle sensors and their related environment.  

What you’ll need to succeed: 

• Bachelor's Degree degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics Engineering, Systems Engineering, or engineering equivalent with 6 years of experience OR a Master's Degree with 3+ years of experience OR a PhD + 1 year of experience. 
• Understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
• Understanding of how Simulation based testing can be applied, and the appropriate use of recompute simulation
• Experience developing Test Scenarios, writing Test Cases, Test Procedures and Test Cases
• Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation and testing methodologies  
• Ability to lead virtual testing events within specific areas of system, tracing and troubleshooting the entire software stack 
• Ability to mentor lower-level engineers 
• Experience reporting out to product and quality management on testing progress. 

Bonus Points! 

• Programming experience in C++ and using Python (scripting)
• ROS (Robot Operating System)  
• Software and system troubleshooting and problem-solving with specific focus on system-level analysis, fault isolation and identification
• Working knowledge of Test-Driven Development Methodology and test framework architectures
• Kanban, Scrum or Scaled Agile development
