Description

The Motion Planning team is scaling our Pick Up/Drop Off (PUDO) and Depot Site enablement capabilities and expanding to new operational domains. In this contract role, you'll work alongside our Motion Planning engineers to accelerate our development, testing, and validation workflows. You'll own the creation of simulation scenarios, manage vehicle testing, and serve as the first line of triage for test results. This is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to autonomous vehicle development while building your robotics expertise on the job. We're looking for someone who is organized, technically curious, and excited to learn. You'll gain hands-on exposure to our simulation infrastructure, on-vehicle testing processes, and the real-world challenges of deploying autonomous vehicles. If you're passionate about self-driving technology and want to make a tangible impact, we'd love to hear from you. Responsibilities: You will create and specify simulation scenes for PUDO and Depot site scenarios, translating operational requirements into testable configurations. You will develop and maintain vehicle test plans, supporting on and off site ensuring comprehensive coverage of new site enablement features. You will manage test scheduling and coordination, working with vehicle operations to maximize testing efficiency. You will perform first-pass triage of simulation and vehicle test results, identifying issues and categorizing them for engineering review and solution development. You will document test findings and identify opportunities to streamline processes and create reports that help autonomy engineers quickly understand test outcomes.
