Simulation Scenario Engineer
The Simulation Operations team builds and maintains the simulation scenarios used for regression testing our system. The team leverages our simulation tools to rigorously test our autonomy system. This testing adds one more layer of confidence that our system is safe before it is released for public road driving. The Simulation Scenario Engineer role is a great opportunity to enter the Autonomous Car industry. If you are motivated and willing to learn this is a great opportunity for you.
