Nice to have: * Experience with Jira or similar ticketing systems * Comfortability using Jama or similar requirements management systems * Familiarity with working in a fast paced environment ## Description The Latitude AI Systems Engineering team brings all the components of the autonomy stack together into a unified product. We work very closely with all cross functional teams to define the architecture, requirements, test plans, and test cases of the following features and functions: * A suite of ADAS features at different levels of autonomy (L1, L2 and L3), such as Blind Spot, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Base Park Aid, Lane Keeping & Change Assist, ACC, L2 Hands-On and Hands-Free, L3 Eyes-Free * Onboard (vehicle) and Offboard (cloud) autonomy functions of Mapping, Prediction and Motion Planning * System level analysis and metrics evaluation What you'll do: * Ownership (lead and execute) of the systems engineering of multiple Autonomy Behavior components of autonomy software stack * Write requirements for the performance for a variety of features and the related functions considering nominal operations, vehicle and environmental variations, and operational domain bounding conditions * Lead system level performance analysis and build evaluation pipelines. This would include designing metrics, defining targets, requiring novel research and ownership * Develop innovative metrics and dashboards for driving behavior and/or system performance that support decisions, direct efforts, and provide clarity * Analyze test results to identify performance and functional gaps in the system, working with key stakeholders to develop mitigations for these gaps * Work closely with the Integration and Test team at Latitude to develop and execute the Design Verification Plan for our features to inform product readiness for launch * Periodically get hands-on with the product and see the designs in action and to provide expert feedback/insight to relevant teams ## Related Videos - [Times of (climate) crisis - How and why sustainable software is a must!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/988-times-of-climate-crisis-how-and-why-sustainable-software-is-a-must) - [Shift Left On Accessibility - Geri Reid](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1712-shift-left-on-accessibility-geri-reid) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [The Software Engineer 2030: From Coder To AI Orchestrator? - Patrick Schnell](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1825-the-software-engineer-2030-from-coder-to-ai-orchestrator-patrick-schnell) - [Kettle and Pot or Peas in a Pod?
