Sr. System Test Engineer - Simulation

About the Company

At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business.

A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. As a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.

Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.

Meet the Team

Join our Systems Test team, where we validate the safety and performance of Torc’s autonomous driving system through simulation, virtual testing, and data-driven validation. Our team works at the intersection of perception, planning, systems engineering, and safety, ensuring that autonomous behavior is thoroughly tested across a wide range of real-world and edge-case scenarios before deployment.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Simulation Test Engineer, you will contribute to the development and execution of scenario-based validation strategies, leveraging simulation to evaluate system performance, identify gaps, and improve overall robustness. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across autonomy, systems, and safety to ensure that simulation insights translate into meaningful improvements in the real-world behavior of our vehicles.

• Contribute to the planning and execution of simulation-based test campaigns for autonomous vehicle V&V efforts
• Collaborate with Product, Systems, and Safety teams to support simulation-driven validation strategies
• Develop, maintain, and expand Torc’s Scenario Library, including Abstract, Logical, and Concrete scenarios to improve ODD coverage
• Identify testing gaps and propose improvements to simulation tools, environments, and test frameworks
• Partner with internal tools teams and external vendors to enhance simulation and virtual testing capabilities
• Perform analysis and triage of simulation results, including development of dashboards and reports to communicate findings to stakeholders

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• Bachelor’s degree with 6+ years of experience, or Master’s degree with 3+ years of experience in Computer Science, Robotics, Systems Engineering, or related field
• Experience with simulation and virtual testing of perception and/or autonomous driving systems
• Experience developing scenarios aligned with OpenSCENARIO standards, including Abstract and/or Logical scenarios
• Experience developing test cases and test procedures for complex systems
