Lead system-level requirements definition, architecture design, integration strategy, and validation in one of the platform areas — autonomy sensors, AV compute, motion control, pose/localization, or end-to-end latency
Characterize and quantify system performance for that area: define nominal targets, minimum performance, and acceptance criteria across all ODDs, and defend those numbers with data rather than convention
Recommend operating constraints for current and future ODDs on different vehicle platforms — for example trajectory constraints for a given virtual driver, or sensor performance envelopes
Define and quantify test coverage for your area, including the realism and relevance of proposed tests across simulation, SIL/HIL, closed course, and on-road
Partner with software teams to define interfaces, performance metrics, failure modes, and validation strategies; validate platform modules against ground truth where applicable
Collaborate with hardware and EE teams and external vendors on component selection, characterization, and integration; review and recommend changes to supplier requirements and test plans
Support V&V by reviewing and suggesting additional tests and implementing test cases in SIL/HIL environments
Analyze and interpret test data from simulation, HIL/SIL, and on-road testing to confirm requirements are met, and perform root cause analysis for complex cross-functional issues found during integration and testing, driving them to resolution
