About the role
We are seeking a System Test Engineer who can build, operate, and improve Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test capabilities for a complex autonomous transit system.
What they're looking for
- Has strong HIL instincts: knows how to combine real hardware, simulated interfaces, automation, instrumentation, and data capture into a trustworthy test environment
- Can turn ambiguity into clarity: drive vague, high-level needs into concrete bench tests, automated checks, pass/fail criteria, and release evidence
- Thinks in interfaces and failure modes: understands how software, controllers, networks, sensors, actuators, timing, configuration, and operating assumptions interact
- Has strong follow-through: closes the last 5% by cleaning up evidence, resolving ambiguity, documenting decisions, and leaving work in a reusable state
- Communicates clearly and proactively: chooses the right medium and level of detail for the audience, creates durable artifacts when needed, and helps cross-functional teams align around complex technical problems
- Is hands-on and data-driven: comfortable in the lab, with hardware, in logs, in Python and C++, and in issue-tracking and requirements tools
