System Test Engineer

Contractor On Autonomous System Test Engineering Team

As a contractor on the Autonomous System Test Engineering team, you will support the data validation, reporting, and issue-tracking pipelines that enable our autonomous driving systems. You will play a key role in ensuring data integrity and accelerating workflows across our testing and validation environments. Specifically, this role focuses on the end-to-end testing, validation, and delivery pipeline for Client Mapping Updates. You will bridge the gap between map data collection, software testing, and systems deployment by owning the weekly Client Mapping validation process, maintaining system readiness datasets, and leading cross-functional triage efforts to ensure our autonomous vehicles always operate on highly accurate, up-to-date mapping infrastructure. The ideal candidate is a technically savvy, detail-oriented engineer or analyst who can seamlessly leverage Python scripting and modern AI productivity tools to streamline complex workflows and maintain data integrity at scale.

In this role, you will:

• Lead issue triage & coordination: Organize, facilitate, and drive weekly cross-functional engineering triage meetings. Track anomalies, implementation bugs, and data discrepancies within Client Mapping Updates from identification through to resolution.
• Execute the weekly validation process: Own and execute the end-to-end weekly data validation pipeline, verifying that Client Mapping Updates meet strict safety, quality, and system performance criteria before being deployed to the vehicle platform.
• Manage system readiness datasets: Manage, audit, and update critical internal datasets used to evaluate software and Client Mapping deployment readiness, ensuring downstream engineering teams have accurate, high-fidelity data.
• Develop client mapping status & quality reporting: Monitor, analyze, and generate comprehensive progress and health reports tracking the coverage, metrics, and deployment status of Client Mapping Updates.
• Track project & performance metrics: Compile and distribute regular performance metrics and project status updates to ensure mapping milestones align seamlessly with broader autonomy software release timelines.

Qualifications:

• Experience: 1–3+ years of experience in system test engineering support, project coordination, data operations, or a similar analytical framework (experience in Autonomous Vehicles, GIS, Robotics, or HD Mapping is highly preferred).
• Technical skills: Proficiency with Python for data manipulation, log analysis, basic scripting, or the automation of data-tracking tasks.
• AI & productivity tools: Hands-on experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot) to accelerate scripting, debugging, and data processing.
• Process & tooling: Strong track record of managing repeatable workflows with high attention to detail. Experience with issue reporting and documentation infrastructure (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Excel/Google Sheets, or SQL).
• Communication: Excellent communication and organizational skills. Comfortable leading technical agendas, tracking down updates from engineering teams, and distilling complex tracking data into actionable reports.
• Education: B.S. or equivalent practical experience in a technical, analytical, or operational STEM field.
