Job summary

Waabi is seeking a rigorous and decisive systems engineer to build the evidence behind on‑road behavior verification for autonomous vehicles. You will design scenarios and test sets, define release-pipeline checks, and ensure test sets reflect real‑world behavior while staying within safety requirements.

You will collaborate with motion planning, simulation, evaluation, operations and safety teams, turning requirements into measurable acceptance criteria and identifying any test escapes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant engineering or related field (e.g., Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Advanced Controls, Aerospace).
• Experience verifying safety-critical systems in autonomous vehicles.
• Designed test cases from requirements and assessed test coverage.
• Applied statistics: sample size, confidence, and interpretation.
• Proficiency in Python and navigating large codebases.
• Familiarity with autonomous vehicle requirements, behaviors and design methodologies.
• Strong ability to structure and prioritize a large number of test sets and test strategies.
• Ability to work cross-functionally in a diplomatic way across teams.
• Drive for commitment and accountability.

Responsibilities

• Design and document the scenario and test sets that establish on-road behavior performance from minimum to comprehensive.
• Own what enters the release pipeline: define and run the scenario validity checks, and approve or refuse test sets before they are used to judge a release.
• Maintain continuous quality feedback of the artifacts test sets depend on - scenarios, taggers, graders and the taxonomy behind them.
• Turn behavior requirements into testable criteria, working with Behavior Requirements on targets and acceptance criteria that someone will sign.
• Investigate behavior deficiencies: find further instances, establish exposure, and return them to the pipeline as test escapes.
• Distinguish genuine behavior failures from simulation artifacts, and raise simulation fidelity gaps with the corresponding teams.
• Work across the organization - motion planning, simulation, evaluation, operations, safety methodology and platform - and hold interfaces between them.
• Align verification phases and cadence with the organization: what runs on a daily release, and what a significant step in exposure requires.
