Develop tooling and automation to improve the efficiency of validating the simulator
Identify effective test strategies for new and existing features and craft test plans accordingly
Analyze issues detected during our tests or reported by others and work closely with Simulation/Autopilot Developers to fix issues and validate software changes
Find software bugs through manual testing, automated scripting, and report investigation
What You'll Bring
Degree in Computer Science, Physics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or proof of exceptional skills in related fields, with practical software engineering experience
3+ years Software Development experience, preferably in video game gameplay systems or closed-loop evaluation systems
2+ years of HIL, SIL, or closed-loop evaluation experience
Strong Python and C++ skills
Experience troubleshooting on both software and hardware level
