Senior V&V Engineer – Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) & Simulation

The role

You will leverage the Gatik Arena simulation platform and SIL pipelines to stress-test autonomy software against synthetic scenarios and log-replays. You will design automated testing pipelines and construct verification suites to quantify software readiness.

What you will do

• Design and scale automated SIL testing pipelines integrated into cloud-based CI/CD workflows.
• Generate complex, high-fidelity synthetic scenarios using OpenSCENARIO and ASAM.
• Build automated workflows to transform fleet logs into parametric simulation suites.
• Validate stack performance across perception, planning, controls, and map execution.
• Collaborate with simulator platform teams to validate simulator realism and sensor physics models.
• Develop automated verification dashboards tracking pass/fail rates and coverage metrics.

Required qualifications

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or Data Science.
• 5+ years in software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing, virtual simulation validation, or automated software QA for AVs or complex robotics.
• Exceptional proficiency in C++ and Python.
• Deep experience with Linux environments, Docker containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud compute clusters (AWS/GCP).
• Strong working knowledge of simulation tools.
• Experience with continuous integration pipelines.

Nice to have

• Experience validating middle-mile or commercial vehicle autonomous planning and control algorithms.
• Background in dynamic scene generation, procedural generation, or synthetic data validation.
• Proficiency in statistical safety verification and coverage-based testing methodologies.
