- Oversee and execute manual and automated test cases as necessary in closed course and live operational environments to evaluate system performance, behaviors, and critical safety functionality
- Operate and monitor AVs in various driving modes, ensuring safety and compliance during testing and data collection
- Collect and analyze diagnostics, sensor streams (LiDAR, radar, camera, GPS, etc.), incident data, etc. to verify system performance and identify issues
- Work cross-functionally with autonomy, HW, S&S teams to report issues, identify root causes of failures, validate fixes, and close test feedback loops
- Build and maintain scripts and tools for test automation, report generation, and regression tracking to support continuous system validation
- Participate in recurring triage and contribute to release-readiness and root cause analysis efforts
- Mentor engineers in test-driven development
