Job summary

Waabi is seeking an experienced safety or systems engineer to lead the development of critical safety framework methods for our driverless autonomy readiness decisions. You will work with a sophisticated simulator, real-world data, and cutting-edge generative AI to create evidence for safe operation and drive across-team collaboration.

You will develop sample-efficient safety datasets, manage feedback from on-road monitoring, and refine test coverage by comparing core safety frameworks.

Qualifications

• Undergrad required; Masters or PhD within an engineering discipline preferred.
• 7+ years of automotive, robotics or closely related industry experience.
• Experience with using simulation and real-world testing to make readiness decisions.
• Excellent scripting and data analysis skills (Python, SQL), and a solid foundation in statistics.
• Experience with building a strong safety case for autonomous vehicles.
• Ability to communicate complex concepts or data in a simple-yet-accurate manner.
• Collaborative team player who works effectively across functional boundaries, driving evidence-backed decisions.
• Passionate about autonomy, solving hard problems, and creating innovative solutions.

Responsibilities

• Inform driverless release testing by developing sample-efficient, high-signal safety datasets across simulation and closed-course track testing.
• Establish and manage a robust feedback loop from on-road monitoring and safety relevant events to continuously expand and refine test coverage.
• Validate and optimize safety evaluation pipelines by conducting comparative analyses on core safety frameworks and benchmark criteria to continuously evolve our safety frameworks.
• Own the creation of clear and structured safety artifacts, ensuring all readiness decisions are transparent and fully traceable to validation evidence.
• Mentor peers by fostering a culture of technical excellence and driving clear, constructive collaboration between teams.
