Sr. Systems Integration Engineer, Modeling

Role Summary: This role supports Perception/Raven test integration within Automated Drive, coordinating across the modeling, onboard, and data branches that must come together for Raven testing to succeed.

Responsibilities: Track and manage software changes across the modeling and data branches supporting Raven (perception) testing, in coordination with the engineer tracking the onboard branch. Identify and resolve cross-branch divergence issues (e.g., breaking changes introduced upstream) before they impact test validity. Partner with the perception modeling team to understand the scope and intent of upcoming model changes prior to test execution. Support test execution across various prototype and developmental vehicle perception test suites, incorporating modeling-side context into planning. Work with Perception, Planning, and Systems teams to bring automated driving system components together. Maintain software branches supporting iteration across new model deployments and other downstream systems. Deep-dive into vehicle log data and source code as needed to root-cause system-level issues, in collaboration with domain experts. Take a data-driven approach to analyzing the performance of perception models or software changes affecting feature performance or development.

Qualifications: Direct, hands-on experience with software tracking systems and complex software versioning workflows, including coordinating changes across multiple parallel branches. Extensive CI/CD experience, including release coordination across concurrent development tracks. Experience in at least one of the following: vehicle controls/vehicle dynamics, perception systems, or ML model development and training. Proficiency with Git and software repository management tools, with a track record of managing complex branching structures. B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Ability to work in a fast-paced development environment, proactively collaborating cross-functionally to solve vehicle-level integration problems. Strong understanding of vehicle safety concepts and testing-related safety procedures. Flexibility to travel domestically/internationally to support vehicle-level integration and test activities. Clean driving record, with professional experience driving prototype test vehicles on test tracks.
