At Serve Robotics, we’re reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses.
The Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.
We are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end-to-end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.
The Senior Systems Verification & Validation Engineer is responsible for demonstrating and ensuring robots are safe, robust, performant, and satisfy market/customer needs. This position owns the verification & validation of requirements for autonomous last-mile delivery robots, both building out the high-level test campaigns through to defining the individual test cases and execution. This role partners cross-functionally to define and orchestrate the test and evaluation of complex systems by breaking high-level product goals and system requirements down into actionable strategies and methods for evaluation.
Responsibilities
Lead verification & validation test campaigns that ensure all requirements are satisfied and the delivery of a safe and responsible autonomous product
Work cross-functionally to develop novel strategies and methods to verify and validate both the hardware and software of an autonomous sidewalk delivery robot, drawing on analysis, simulation, HIL testing, and vehicle testing
Execute the technical and logistical planning of vehicle tests including cross-functional coordination with other teams, such as hardware, firmware, and autonomy
Maintain traceability between requirements, test cases, and results
Work cross-functionally to develop detailed simulations and structured test plans and procedures
Troubleshoot and debug issues in the field, and trace failures to correct subsystems
Perform test data analysis and report test results. Define and develop automated data extraction tools to streamline analysis and reporting
Qualifications
