About the role
This role owns the safety-relevant scenarios we validate against. You will define what makes a scenario safety-relevant, build the catalog, and own the argument that it is sufficient.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years in safety validation, verification, or test engineering for automated vehicles, ADAS, or another safety-critical domain, hands-on rather than test management alone
- You have built or substantially shaped a scenario catalog scoped to a defined operating domain, and defended its sufficiency to someone who pushed back
- ASAM OpenSCENARIO and OpenDRIVE, hands-on, ISO 21448 (SOTIF) and ISO 34502, and an informed view of where simulation evidence is credible and where it is not
- Strong Python and direct work with large volumes of vehicle log data, plus tooling other engineers ran for their own work rather than only your own
- Fluency with claim, argument and evidence as distinct things. You can say what a result actually supports, and you do not present evidence as though it were the claim
More about this role
Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.
Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that.
Atoms builds Physical AI— real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive.
This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale.
We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life.
