System Test Engineer - Vehicle

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. Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.

Meet the Team

System V&V is responsible for defining and executing a system-level Verification and Validation strategy that satisfies Torc’s release case requirements. The team develops test specifications, test cases, and leveraging simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HiL), closed-course, and public-road test environments to ensure sufficient coverage. System V&V post processes test data, generates detailed test reports, and produces high‑quality defect documentation to drive issue resolution and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Do

• Develop, derive, and maintain detailed vehicle level test cases for autonomous driving functions with a primary focus on functional safety (ISO 26262) and behavioral safety frameworks (SOTIF).
• Analyze and approve requirements, safety goals, safety concepts, and HARA/FMEA outputs to produce traceable, standards‑aligned test coverage.
• Design and support the execution of structured vehicle level test specifications for perception, planning, and control systems—covering edge cases, corner scenarios, environmental variability, and sensor degradation conditions.
• Design and execute post processing scripts to assess pass/fail status of tests with a focus on automated post processing where applicable.
• Lead closed‑course and on‑road evaluations to verify vehicle performance under diverse operational design domain (ODD) conditions.
• Support safety case closure by supplying objective evidence, test results, traceability matrices, and defect documentation.
• Investigate and document anomalies and system defects.
• Collaborate with system engineers, perception developers, safety engineers, and human factors teams to propose corrective actions.
• Create clear and comprehensive technical reports, dashboards, and presentations for regulatory audits, internal reviews, and safety case submissions.
• Ensure all testing complies with company safety protocols, regulatory expectations, and industry safety engineering standards.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Robotics, or Automotive Engineering; Master’s degree preferred.
• 3+ years of relevant experience in autonomous vehicles, ADAS, robotics, or safety‑critical system testing.
• Strong expertise in deriving test cases from system requirements and safety goals.
