Senior V&V Engineer for AD
Zenseact proudly creates software in order to make safe and intelligent mobility real. With our software we aim for zero accidents faster.
Insights from the team
Team HADES (Highly Autonomous Driving: Exposure & Scenarios), a truly agile team, actively contributes to Zenseact’s mission by developing data-driven, scenario-based methods for verification and validation of our autonomous driving software
So, how do we know which scenarios the vehicle will be exposed to within its operational design domain, and how do we ensure that the software can handle statistically relevant scenarios? Solving these challenges is one of the keys to achieving safe autonomous driving. Therefore, the team exploits data-driven methods to create representative models of real-world traffic so we can explore the operational design domain and thereby verify the autonomous driving software.
Your mission and day-to-day tasks
You will work with big data, closed-loop simulations, test case generation, and statistical modeling to develop data driven, and scenario-based frameworks for verification and validation of autonomous driving. You will also work closely with feature developers, data science experts, safety experts and other stakeholders.
Your work could include:
- Evaluating the AD software using scenario-based approach in simulation environments.
- Developing methods to (automatically) generate critical synthetic test cases from the scenario database.
- Supporting the team (development organisation) with your knowledge in scenario-based verification.
- Exploring the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence for scenario-based verification.
Together with the team, you will achieve something that has never been done before. You will get the opportunity to work on complex tasks and expand your knowledge every single day.
What's in it for you:
- Influence the product direction and work in a dynamic industry with a life-saving mission.
- Shape your role based on your competencies and interests.
- Work in a global environment with people from diverse backgrounds.
- Enjoy a flexible work approach and a good work/life balance.
Qualifications & experience
Essential experience
- High academic background, at least a MSc in a relevant engineering discipline.
- Understanding the challenges with deployment of safe autonomous vehicles
- Relevant programming experience within Python
- Industrial experience and domain knowledge within verification and validation of ADAS/AD software more specifically: scenario-based verification, experience with numerous verification methods, critical thinking and ability to reason around problems and solutions for AD V&V
Nice to have
- Data analysis skills (e.g. SQL, data visualisation)
- CI/CD pipeline, e. g. Git, Artifactory, Jenkins and Bazel.
- Statistics (e.g. reliability analysis/risk estimation)
Who are you then?
Team spirit is really important at Zenseact. We would love to see that you enjoy collaborating with your team members, other teams, and stakeholders. You should have great communication skills and a solution-driven mindset. You will thrive at work with us when you love being creatively combined with an ability to bring tasks to completion. We also expect you to strive for continuous improvement, embrace an open feedback culture and dare to fail.
More about Zenseact
Our software makes a difference.
Using AI-based technology to create the ultimate driver support, we’re fighting to end car accidents and make roads safe for everyone. Every year, around 1,4 million people die in traffic while approximately 50 million people get injured. Many get disabled as a result of their injury. We can do better.
One purpose, one product.
We’re a software company dedicated to revolutionizing car safety. By designing the complete software stack for autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems, we’re fighting to end car accidents and make roads safe for everyone. Zenseact was founded by Volvo Cars, and the teams are based in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Shanghai, China. When we aim for zero accidents faster, we strive to speed up the transition to safe automation. This is essentially achieved by making cars updatable – like a computer or a phone. With regular software updates, a vehicle can be made safer long after its production. By accelerating improvement loops, shortening development cycles, and deploying high-capacity software quickly, we can make cars safer, and faster.
Culture with people at heart
To achieve our mission of saving lives and ending traffic accidents we must go where nobody has before. It requires us to venture into the unknown, pioneering new technology and pushing the frontier of autonomous driving. While there’s no denying our determination and expertise, we must stand united to succeed. By fostering a culture of support and enablement – a place of psychological safety where all of us can thrive – everything else will follow. We call this a people-at-heart culture. This culture means caring. It means the company cares about me, and we care about one another. It means sharing, so we give each other energy and have fun together. Our culture is also about belonging. It’s important to feel at home and that we can be ourselves at work. Finally, a people-at-heart culture means well-being. So, we enjoy the flexibility needed to be and do our best – at work and in life.
Zenseact works proactively to create a culture of diversity and inclusion, where individual differences are appreciated and respected. To drive innovation we see diversity as an asset, which means we value and respect differences in gender, race, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation or age, etc.
Interviews are held continuously, so we highly recommend that you submit your application at your earliest convenience.
