Responsibilities
Own feature landing for GATN: Plan and execute integration of new system capabilities on the track (e.g., reduced headways, fail‑operational behaviors, ticket kiosk flows, dispatch behaviors, new ATP functions)
Define and run integration scenarios: Design Tier 2+ integration scenarios that exercise safety functions, throughput behaviors, and operational workflows across vehicles, wayside, and dispatch / OCC
Manage regression and mileage test suites: Own the regression test suite and mileage‑accumulation campaigns that gate releases, including test selection, ordering, and coverage criteria for GATN features
Guardrail and safety‑function health: Review logs, metrics, and track behavior to judge the health of safety functions (e.g., separation assurance, route obstruction, emergency stop behaviors), and recommend parameter or design changes where needed
Drive release readiness: Partner with Systems Engineering, Autonomy, Vehicle SI, and Operations to define entry/exit criteria for on‑track testing, release candidates, and feature “go live” decisions. Run Test Readiness Reviews
Coordinate multi‑vehicle and multi‑site integration: Support integration efforts across project sites (e.g., GDF2 and customer locations), including parity targets, mobile test sites, and project‑specific constraints
Translate requirements into track reality: Take system‑level requirements, CONOPs, and analysis outputs from the Systems Engineering & Architecture team and ensure they are implemented, testable, and validated on the GATN
Triage and root cause issues: Lead technical triage when integration or regression tests fail—coordinate logs, reproduce issues, work with domain owners, and drive to clear, documented resolutions
Improve integration process and tooling: Identify gaps in test infrastructure, logging, metrics, and configuration management that slow down feature landing; propose and help implement improvements
Communicate clearly and often: Provide crisp status on feature readiness, risks, and blockers; document decisions and operational guardrails so that product, operations, and leadership have a clear picture of system state
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field. An advanced engineering degree is a plus
4-10+ years of experience in a relevant industry
1+ years of experience in systems integration and test, system test, or verification and validation for complex hardware/software systems
Ability to collaborate across diverse teams (autonomy, embedded, systems, operations, product) and drive alignment without direct authority
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Experience planning and executing integration or systems-level test campaigns, including scenario design, success criteria and analysis
Strong root-cause skills across software and hardware interfaces
Comfort working hands-on at the test track
A desire to figure out what to build next
Preferred
Master's degree in Systems, Mechanical, Electrical, or Software Engineering
Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, transit systems, or complex hardware/software integrated products
Familiarity with system test environments (HIL, SIL, simulation frameworks)
Experience with systems engineering tools (e.g., Jama, SysML, DOORS)
Proven track record of delivering safety-critical products to market
Exposure to safety and reliability topics (e.g., safety functions, operational envelopes, availability metrics, RAMS) and how they show up in system integration work
