Plus 2 Software Verification & Validation Engineer at PlusAI designs and implements quantitative safety and comfort metrics for autonomous vehicle software modules. Builds and maintains simulation test suites and performs root cause analysis of software regressions.

Responsibilities

Performance Metrics Definition: Design, formalize, and implement quantitative safety and comfort metrics for AV algorithm modules (Perception, Prediction, Motion Planning, and Control). Translate high-level operational design domains (ODDs) and potential failure modes into automatable, objective criteria.
Simulation Test Engineering: Build, execute, and maintain complex open-loop and closed-loop simulation test suites to stress-test software releases, evaluate edge cases, and benchmark module-level and system-level performance.
Failure Triage & Root Cause Analysis: Analyze large-scale simulation outputs to distinguish genuine software regressions from simulation artifact anomalies. Localize root causes to specific modules and deliver actionable diagnostic reports to development teams.
Test Framework Automation: Write production-grade Python scripts and extend core testing frameworks to automate test execution, data ingestion, and statistical reporting.
CI/CD Pipeline Integration: Integrate automated regression suites into continuous integration pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) for seamless, multi-stage testing across daily builds.
Data-Driven Quality Standards: Establish reproducible testing practices, enforcing strict artifact hygiene, dependency management, and quantitative validation over visual inspection.
