Motional is seeking a talented Triage Engineer to join the Triage team under the Test Engineering, Automation and Tools group to deliver capabilities in support of maintaining a high level of system quality and vehicle behavior for our autonomous driving technology. Ideal candidates for this position must have experience with system and sub-system level analysis, verification and validation methodologies, and cross team collaboration across software, testing and project management groups.

The Motional Pittsburgh office is located in the new Hazelwood Green development at 4734 Second Avenue, a culmination of the city’s goal of restoring an economic driver to the neighborhood in a thoughtful, inclusive, and sustainable way. With views along the Monongahela river, the Pittsburgh office is in the heart of this new state of the art development.

What You'll Be Doing

• Perform detailed Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Fault Tree Assessment (FTA), Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) on several different test modalities such as -- public roads, closed course, simulation and Hardware-in-Loop (HIL).
• Closely partner with the software development teams to maintain a rapport for rapid and iterative feedback loop.
• Synthesize the test output data analysis in relation to the Systems and Safety requirements for the expected AV behavior.
• Drive the issue identification, analysis / introspection, mitigation and reporting lifecycle with the software development teams.
• Understand the Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Functional Safety (FuSa) and SOTIF requirements to generate, document and report the software issues for effective risk management.
• Develop stakeholder documentation such as software release reports, process training, knowledge base for common issues and out brief content to the Triage external stakeholders.
• Optimize and implement Triage processes, collaborate with data platforms, test automation, infrastructure and tooling teams for functional user requirements.
