Waabi Systems Engineer - Behavior Verification at Waabi responsible for designing and maintaining scenario and test sets to verify autonomous vehicle behavior. Act as gatekeeper for release pipeline ensuring safety and quality of autonomy software.
Responsibilities
Design and document the scenario and test sets that establish on-road behavior performance, from minimum to comprehensive.
Own what enters the release pipeline: define and run the scenario validity checks, and approve or refuse test sets before they are used to judge a release.
Maintain continuous quality feedback of the artifacts test sets depend on — scenarios, taggers, graders and the taxonomy behind them.
Turn behavior requirements into testable criteria, working with Behavior Requirements on targets and acceptance criteria that someone will sign.
Investigate behavior deficiencies: find further instances, establish what exposure we have to them, and return them to the pipeline as test escapes.
Distinguish genuine behavior failures from simulation artifacts, and raise simulation fidelity gaps with the corresponding teams.
Work across the organization — motion planning, simulation, evaluation, operations, safety methodology and platform — and hold the interfaces between them.
Align verification phases and cadence with the organization: what runs on a daily release, and what a significant step in exposure requires.
