## About the Role

* 5+ years of applied experience developing complex evaluation, simulation, or test frameworks.

 * Proficient in developing Python for production systems, including unit testing, code review, performance tradeoffs, and reliability best practices.

 * Demonstrated ability to drive technical design and execution across multiple teams and organizations in a remote or distributed environment.

 * Strong communication and collaboration skills.

 * BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge:

 * Experience testing and evaluating robotics systems or autonomous vehicles, including working on simulation frameworks.

 * Experience working on test strategies and validation for safety-critical products.

 * A strong, data-driven curiosity to investigate anomalies and systematically root-cause discrepancies.

 * Familiarity with SQL, time-series data analysis, performance monitoring tools and dashboarding systems (e.g., Looker, Streamlit).

## Description

* Develop and maintain GM's core simulation dashboards and reports, delivering clear, actionable, and interpretable insights on test operations, simulation trust and health trends to engineering teams and leadership.

 * Drive scalable simulation quality assessments, standardized processes, and automation to support seamless integration of automated outputs with human-in-the-loop analysis and evaluation.

 * Collaborate with cross-functional partners across Autonomy, Systems, Safety, and customer teams to define, refine, and drive consensus on simulation validation methodologies and requirements.

 * Uphold high standards for code quality and software architecture through code reviews and technical leadership, mentoring other engineers on software engineering and simulation testing best practices.

 * Leverage AI-assisted development tools and analytics platforms to enhance productivity, improve code quality, and drive innovation in simulation testing., This role can be based remotely but if you live within a 50-mile radius of Sunnyvale or Mountain View you are expected to report to that location three times per week.
