About the Role
We are seeking a detail-oriented QA/Triage Analyst to support an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) program focused on analyzing and triaging vehicle-generated events. In this role, you will review vehicle telemetry, logs, videos, and system data to identify root causes, classify incidents, and provide engineering-ready documentation that supports product quality and continuous improvement.
This position is ideal for candidates with experience in Autonomous Driving (AV), ADAS, Robotics, Vehicle Validation, Software QA, or Technical Operations.

• Review autonomous vehicle event data, including telemetry, logs, videos, screenshots, and sensor outputs.
• Investigate vehicle incidents to determine the underlying root cause.
• Classify events according to defined operational procedures and engineering guidelines.
• Differentiate between software defects, vehicle behavior, driver interventions, environmental factors, and known system limitations.
• Correlate incidents with existing engineering defects or identify potential new issues.
• Document investigation findings with clear supporting evidence for engineering teams.
• Escalate ambiguous or complex events to senior analysts or engineering teams.
• Participate in QA calibration sessions to continuously improve classification accuracy.
• Maintain high standards for quality, consistency, and documentation.
• Collaborate closely with Engineering, Quality Assurance, Fleet Operations, and Program Management teams.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 2–5 years of experience in Software QA, Vehicle Validation, ADAS, Autonomous Vehicles, Robotics, or Technical Operations.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to investigate complex technical issues using multiple data sources.
• Experience reviewing logs, system data, or telemetry.
• Familiarity with bug tracking tools such as Jira.
• Excellent written documentation and communication skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, process-driven environment.

• Experience supporting Autonomous Vehicle or ADAS programs.
• Knowledge of autonomous driving concepts, vehicle systems, and sensor technologies.
• Familiarity with LiDAR, Radar, Cameras, GPS, and vehicle telemetry.
• Experience performing Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
• Experience using log analysis or visualization tools.
• Understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• Exposure to Linux environments and command-line tools.
