About this role
## What you will do As the **Simulation Test Manager**, you will lead a team of simulation test engineers responsible for the virtual verification and validation (V&V) of Torc’s autonomous truck. You will set the strategic and technical direction for the team, ensuring that simulation-based evidence for both perception and autonomous behavior supports Torc’s safety case and aligns with industry standards including **ISO 21448 (SOTIF)**, **ISO 8800**, and **ISO 26262**. You will also partner with development, integration, and safety teams and be instrumental in growing the robustness and safety of our self-driving technology. **Key responsibilities:** - Lead, mentor, and grow a team of simulation test engineers, setting clear goals, priorities, and development plans. - Define and own the scaled simulation V&V strategy, roadmap, and technical direction for the team in support of Torc’s autonomous truck safety case. - Ensure simulation test methods, processes, and evidence align with **ISO 21448 (SOTIF)**, **ISO 8800**, and **ISO 26262**. - Partner with Product, Systems, and Safety teams to translate requirements, hazardous, and ODD definitions into simulation V&V strategies and release-readiness criteria. - Plan and oversee simulation test campaigns, including resourcing, scheduling, and delivery against program milestones. - Guide the evolution of Torc’s Scenario Library (Abstract, Logical, and Concrete scenarios) to ensure robust ODD coverage and traceability to requirements. - Identify testing gaps and drive requirements for new or improved test tools, simulation environments, and test frameworks; manage relationships with internal tools teams and external vendors to evolve Torc’s simulation and virtual testing toolchains. - Review simulation results and communicate V&V status, risks, and findings to engineering leadership and stakeholders through dashboards and test reports. ## What you’ll need to succeed - Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related field with **6+ years** of experience, or a Master’s degree with **4+ years** of experience. **Required experience/skills:** - Experience leading virtual testing and simulation of perception and autonomous vehicle behavior. - Working knowledge of **ISO 26262**, **ISO 21448 (SOTIF)**, and **ISO 8800**, and how they apply to simulation-based verification and validation. - Experience defining test strategy and overseeing the development of simulation scenarios and test cases with traceability to requirements. - Familiarity with scenario-based testing and the **ASAM OpenSCENARIO** standard (especially Abstract and/or Logical Scenarios). - Technical depth in **Python** and **SQL** for data analysis. - Experience with software and system troubleshooting and problem-solving with focus on system-level analysis, fault isolation, and identification. - Working knowledge of probability, statistics, and linear algebra, including their use in coverage and statistical validation arguments. - Experience managing cross-functional partners, internal tools teams, and external simulation vendors. - Experience reporting progress and test results to leadership and stakeholders. - Familiarity with state-of-the-art approaches of autonomous vehicle validation. ## Bonus Points! - ADAS verification and validation experience. **Nice to have:** - Experience contributing to safety cases or safety assurance arguments, including simulation tool qualification (e.g., **ISO 26262 tool confidence**). - Experience dev
