United States, California, Palo Alto 

397668105

As a Software Engineer for the Autopilot Simulation team, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining the Autopilot validation process on the path to full self-driving. You will work very closely with the team to drive validation of new and existing features and be responsible for creating test scenarios. You will also be building scenario creation and scenario reporting tools that streamline this process. Additionally, you will help the Simulation team provide high reliability and scalability through testing and automation.

• Develop software and tools to engineer and author high-value Simulation Scenarios
• Perform functional, stress, integration, and performance tests on multiple levels within the system including vehicle software simulation, hardware-in-the-loop automation
• Develop tooling and automation to improve the efficiency of validating the simulator
• Identify effective test strategies for new and existing features and craft test plans accordingly
• Analyze issues detected during our tests or reported by others and work closely with Simulation/Autopilot Developers to fix issues and validate software changes
• Find software bugs through manual testing, automated scripting, and report investigation

• 3+ years Software Development experience, preferably in video game gameplay systems or closed-loop evaluation systems
• 2+ years of HIL, SIL, or closed-loop evaluation experience
• Strong Python and C++ Skills
• Experience troubleshooting on both software and hardware level
• Experience solving difficult QA problems (scalability, reliability, reporting, parallelization)
• Experience in designing automation frameworks and developing test automation software
• Excellent communication skills and very detail oriented
• Degree in Computer Science, Physics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or proof of exceptional skills in related fields, with practical software engineering experience
