Evaluation, Validation & Simulation Engineer
42dot, Sunnyvale
The role
We're building a new autonomous driving organization to deliver production-ready L4 autonomy across trucks, buses, passenger vehicles, and robotaxis. Our approach is ML-first, centered around end-to-end learning, foundation models, vision-language-action (VLA) models, and world models. As one of the founding members of the autonomy organization, you'll help build the systems that determine whether our autonomy stack is actually improving, where it is failing, and what should be built next.
You will work on autonomy evaluation, validation, simulation, KPI development, scenario analysis, and performance measurement. Your work will directly influence engineering priorities and product decisions across the organization. This is a hands-on engineering role involving software development, data analysis, simulation, and autonomy performance evaluation.
What you will do
- Develop autonomy KPIs and performance metrics.
- Build evaluation and validation tools for autonomous driving systems.
- Analyze driving performance and identify failure modes.
