• Leverage real-world field data, logs, and testing results to enhance simulation accuracy and relevance.

• Develop closed-loop simulation workflows for autonomy and mission software.

• Assist with SIL, HIL, replay, regression testing, and automated scenario assessments.

• Integrate simulation environments with autonomy stacks, mission software, command-and-control systems, sensor models, and data pipelines.

• Establish automated testing capabilities to detect regressions and confirm system behavior prior to field deployment.

• Collaborate with engineering teams to replicate field failures and intricate operational scenarios in simulation.

• Create tools for scenario generation, simulation orchestration, automated testing, visualization, debugging, and results analysis.

• Enhance the repeatability and scalability of simulation-based testing.

• Support automated and large-scale execution of simulations.

• Develop interfaces and workflows to foster engineering adoption.

• Maintain documentation, examples, and best practices for internal simulation tools.

• Collaborate with Autonomy, Software, Perception, Product, Field Operations, and Program teams.

• Convert engineering, testing, and operational requirements into simulation capabilities.

• Integrate field-testing and deployed-system feedback into simulations.

• Assist in reducing field-test cycles, expediting development, and enhancing system reliability.
