## About the role

We are seeking a System Test Engineer who can develop rigorous, repeatable tests for integrated autonomous transit behavior and production acceptance. This role is ideal for someone who can translate product goals, safety needs, operational concepts, and system requirements into concrete test scenarios, executable procedures, measurable pass/fail criteria, and clear technical conclusions. You will help build the bridge between engineering intent and demonstrated system evidence.

## What they're looking for

- Can turn ambiguity into clarity: drive vague, high-level needs into concrete scenarios, test steps, pass/fail criteria, and release evidence
- Has strong follow-through: closes the last 5% by cleaning up evidence, resolving ambiguity, documenting decisions, and leaving work in a reusable state
- Thinks in systems: understands how software, hardware, controls, sensors, networks, operators, and procedures combine into real-world behavior
- 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 at the test track, around vehicles, in logs, in Python, and in issue-tracking and requirements tools
- Enjoys building practical tools and improving processes when that makes the test program more effective
