About this role

Leads technical integration of vehicle systems, safety evidence and approvals for an L4 autonomous-driving service. The development-side lead works across controls, onboard systems, safety verification, operations, legal and external partners, using real-vehicle behavior to guide decisions. Defines interfaces spanning steering, acceleration, braking, perception, localization and planning, considering sensor, computing, actuator and timing limits. Guides fault detection, redundancy, fallback and safe-stop design; reviews logs and tests; coordinates simulation, HIL and road validation; and turns operating conditions and regulatory feedback into approval plans, engineering changes and operational actions. Applicants need to have led real-vehicle development or validation in autonomous driving, ADAS or vehicle control; understand control theory, vehicle dynamics and interfaces across perception, planning, onboard computing, communications and actuators; and have led L4 approval or related vehicle or safety-critical certification reviews. They must resolve review disagreements using evidence and alternatives, link safety requirements to design and test evidence, and align specialist teams and partners.
