Torc Robotics is a leader in autonomous driving technology, focused on developing software for automated trucks. The Sr. Systems Triage Engineer will evaluate performance data from various testing environments, provide analysis to development teams, and contribute to the triaging and defect management processes.
Responsibilities:
- Evaluate performance data and test results collected from on road testing, simulation testing and off-road target hardware testing, creating value add analysis and trends as feedback to development teams
- Perform triaging and analysis of issues discovered at the system level including sensor input issues, logic issues, embedded resource issues and training data issues
- Triaging is required across different test environments including hardware-in-loop (HIL), Simulation for behavior and perception and Vehicle level closed-course and public road work
- Perform triage, tracking, and reporting of metrics for test escapes
- Provide system performance metrics based on data collected by our self-driving truck
- Combine environment observations with event logs to determine avenues for investigation
- Report on software quality using concepts such as defect ratios and software heatmap viewpoints
- Track and follow-up on high priority and blocking defects, ensuring continued progress
- Create tooling requirements for efficient triage and root cause analysis, metric reporting and visualization with the goal of quickly extract key learnings and trends related to software maturity
- Establish and maintain defect management process, defect workflow and tracking including definition of bug ticket quality and ability to understand state of defects
- Contribute to a rapid integration and deployment schedule for self-driving software stack with consistent releases to extended testing teams
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, Systems Engineering or related technical field with 6+ years of relevant experience OR Master's degree and 3+ years of relevant experience
- 4+ years of industry experience leading test programs with focus on system triage, defect tracking and impact analysis
- Experience with complex embedded systems including ADAS technologies i.e. autonomous driving software architecture, sensors, networking, compute hardware, control systems
- Experience with software development tools i.e. build systems, containers, source control etc
- Experience with software for real-time or safety-critical systems
- Strong problem-solving / analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to learn in unstructured environments
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with evolving software/hardware infrastructure
- Experience testing autonomous vehicles, ROS based robotics systems or ADAS features
- Experience with machine learning software components
- Configuration management of safety-critical systems, understanding of systems engineering and verification, validation methodologies
- Experience designing and commissioning custom HIL test fixtures
