Software Verification & Validation Engineer

PlusAI is a Physical AI company pioneering AI-based virtual driver software for factory-built autonomous trucks. Headquartered in Silicon Valley with operations in the United States and Europe, Plus was named by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies. Partners including TRATON GROUP’s Scania, MAN, and International brands, Hyundai Motor Company, Iveco Group, Bosch, and DSV are working with Plus to accelerate the deployment of next-generation autonomous trucks.

If you’re ready to make a huge impact and drive the future of autonomy, Plus is looking for talented individuals to join its fast-growing teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Performance Metrics Definition: Design, formalize, and implement quantitative safety and comfort metrics for AV algorithm modules (Perception, Prediction, Motion Planning, and Control).
• Translate high-level operational design domains (ODDs) and potential failure modes into automatable, objective criteria.
• Simulation Test Engineering: Build, execute, and maintain complex open-loop and closed-loop simulation test suites to stress-test software releases, evaluate edge cases, and benchmark module-level and system-level performance.
• Failure Triage & Root Cause Analysis: Analyze large-scale simulation outputs to distinguish genuine software regressions from simulation artifact anomalies.
• Localize root causes to specific modules and deliver actionable diagnostic reports to development teams.
• Test Framework Automation: Write production-grade Python scripts and extend core testing frameworks to automate test execution, data ingestion, and statistical reporting.
• CI/CD Pipeline Integration: Integrate automated regression suites into continuous integration pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) for seamless, multi-stage testing across daily builds.
• Data-Driven Quality Standards: Establish reproducible testing practices, enforcing strict artifact hygiene, dependency management, and quantitative validation over visual inspection.
