Machine Learning Engineer in Simulation within Autonomous Systems

Do you want to be a part of solving one of the most  interesting test challenges and shape the sustainable transport system of the future? Then join us at autonomous transport systems at Scania!

At the Autonomous Systems department we develop complete autonomous transport solutions, which incorporates both self-driving vehicles, and a connected infrastructure with a control tower. The development is conducted in close cooperation with partners, and incorporates everything from research to the industrialization of products.

Our offer
We offer an interesting and challenging job, with plenty of scope for new ideas. Scania’s culture is characterised by openness, diversity and respect for the individual. Our people are our most important resource, so we invest in training for all our employees. We will give you the opportunity to develop your skills so you can grow with us.

Our Team
The team Autonomous Function Simulation Test is responsible for independent testing at higher test levels, to ensure safety and function of the autonomous transport solutions. We are currently spending significant effort on a Scenario Based Approach strategy, to ensure that the system is safe in an environment where it is impossible to control other road users, or predict everything that could happen. We are a growing team, consisting of six experienced test engineers that work closely together on everything from defining test strategies to performing tests in simulated environments.

About the position
How to validate autonomous driving system for safety, performance, robustness and functionality is one of the most challenging issue in autonomous driving industry. The traditional distance based approach cannot provide comprehensive assurance evidence. We believe Scenario Based Approach as a promising direction in our work. If we can build up a scenario database with millions of scenarios, select the most critical scenarios for specific validation targets and execute them on the virtual cloud platform in parallel, the simulation testing can provide strong evidence for system assurance. You will be a part of this journey with us.

You will work in a dynamic environment, with a focus on tests in simulation environments. The foundation of this role is to participate the daily work of simulation tool chain. Your focus will be to work on Scenario Based Approach for autonomous driving validation, especially on the data driven methods. You will use data science, machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning methods to extract scenarios from data, generate scenarios on maps, search edge cases, cluster scenario groups, data validation and perception performance validation, etc. This work has just started, but we see the huge potential!

The work may also include test analysis, development of new test cases for our Software In the Loop (SIL) environment, following the trend in cutting edge research and implementing advanced metrics for validation. Further, you will work cross-functionally with the development of our test strategies, processes and work methods.

Are you the one we are looking for?
We think you have a Master degree or PhD degree in a technical field such as  Electrical/Aerospace/Computer Engineering, Computer/Data Science, Computer vision, Robotics, Control, Math, Physics, or similar related field.

We hope that you who have at least 3 years of AI/Machine learning related experience, knowledge of Python programming and data driven testing.

It is beneficial if you have knowledge of close loop/open loop simulation, software in the loop (SIL) testing, software verification and validation of safety critical systems.

You should enjoy working independently as well as in a tight team.

For this position you should be fluent in English written as well as oral.
