The position responsibilities include a strong quality focus through unit testing of the developed code, and significant interaction with downstream integration points including: Software in the Loop (SIL), Hardware in the Loop (HIL), Simulation, Substitute machine testing and actual machine testing.

Advanced data analysis and systems analysis efforts and skills are needed to help troubleshoot complex issues from test or customer sites, and to examine information from test sites to improve overall systems performance.

Good communication is expected for technical status updates, subsystem reviews, and when working closely with other system developers, support teams and testing staff in multiple geographic locations and organizations.

Keeping up with industry trends and new technology breakthroughs is essential and requires continuous learning through self/internet study, as well as interaction with other autonomous engineers through conferences and papers.
