Mission Summary:
The Capability Performance Team owns the Systems Engineering Behavioral Competencies/AV Capabilities for the Motional ADS. The team sets up behavioral expectations for the Motional ADS and uses a Multimodal Testing (simulation, resimulation, closed course, public road) approach to evaluate the AV performance against expectations. Ultimately, the team is responsible for documenting AV Performance for software releases and creating readiness reports.
As the team grows to support more and more behavioral competencies, we are looking for an Engineer to help build a strategy to analyze and visualize large scale testing data generated by the team in meaningful ways. This person will build important relationships with internal and cross-functional teams throughout the organization to maintain a cohesive understanding of AV performance, as applicable to the behavioral competencies.
What you'll be doing:
- Support standardization of metrics used in performance evaluation for AV Capabilities to ensure consistency
- Effectively utilize existing metrics and propose the need for new metrics to evaluate AV performance in large scale simulation testing
- Propose and implement ideas to analyze simulation, resimulation and closed course testing results for stakeholders in Systems, Autonomy, Safety, etc.
- Help Capability Performance Team deliver strategic insights and recommendations on projects regarding scenario-based simulation testing
- Build meaningful visualizations and templates for the team
- Focus on automating simulation results analysis processes and gaps, and removing manual processes, where applicable
- Support the development, execution, and analyses of scenario simulation test cases for features validation
- Communicate test results to development teams and management; facilitate resolution of technical issues
What we're looking for:
- Bachelor's degree and 2 years of experience in Data Science, Statistics or Computer Science OR equivalent experience in data science in relevant industry
- Fluency in SQL or similar languages
- Fluency in data visualization techniques
- Python coding experience
- Excellent interpersonal skills to build strong, cross functional relationships
- Strong communication skills; effective in communicating complex concepts and driving resolutions
- Self-starter who is motivated to set and achieve goals and takes initiative to drive ambiguous tasks/projects to completion
Bonus points:
- Masters degree in Data Science or Computer Science
- Experience in Autonomous Vehicles or other robotics industries
- Experience using simulation tools
- Experience in evaluating Autonomous Driving Behavior
