- Lead the Sensor Change Playbook workflow, defining the validation process for our next-generation, low-cost vehicle platforms.
- Partner with PCP V&V to define the Autonomy Technical Specification (ATS) by identifying "bounding" (worst-case) scenarios, particularly those related to winter driving (e.g., heavy snow, ice, sensor occlusion).
- Work with PCP model owners to architect low-cost stacks that reduce reliance on expensive sensors and accommodate reduced compute (e.g., migrating from 8 GPUs to 1 Thor).
- Drive the Clearance MoC (Method of Compliance) process for hardware changes, balancing cost, compute constraints, performance and safety.
- Deep expertise in the PCP Stack, multi-modality fusion, and optimizing architectures for severely constrained compute budgets.
- Experience in V&V (Validation & Verification) for safety-critical systems, specifically expanding into complex Operational Design Domains (ODDs) like winter weather.
- Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders (SDMA, AHE, PCP) to align on cost vs. performance trade-offs.
- The ability or experience of managing or curating datasets for sensor validation or model training
Bonus Qualifications- Experience with Autonomy Technical Specifications (ATS) and defining winter/adverse weather bounding scenarios.
- Experience working with VLM’s.
