Triage Engineer (2+ years)

Continuum Resource Network•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

We are helping our client find a Triage Engineer to support the reliability and performance of automotive products by reviewing simulation results, triaging failures, and connecting testing outcomes back to system and safety requirements. In this role, you’ll analyze simulations and test data, make pass/fail determinations against defined criteria, investigate failures, and identify high-level root causes. You’ll work across testing, operations, software development, and systems engineering to reproduce issues when possible and ensure findings are routed to the appropriate functional owners for resolution. The ideal candidate is a mid-level engineer with hands-on experience triaging issues in automotive, autonomous vehicle, robotics, aerospace, or other safety-critical systems. You’re comfortable analyzing simulation and test results, applying defined criteria to evaluate system behavior, and independently troubleshooting failures to identify likely root causes. You can quickly understand complex system behavior and communicate actionable findings to engineering teams.

Requirements

Bachelor's or higher degree in Engineering such as Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Robotics highly preferred; or at least four years of equivalent knowledge
Work experience 2+ years of professional experience working on safety critical and complex systems such as Robotics, Autonomous Vehicles, Automotive, or Aerospace Technologies
Experience with software engineering concepts, including requirements analysis, source control, build processes, design reviews
Experience with Linux and scripting languages (E.g: Bash/Shell, Python)
Experience using issue tracking and configuration management tools (E.g: Atlassian Confluence, Jira, Bitbucket, Git)
Strong troubleshooting, debugging, and analytical and creative problem solving skills

Responsibilities

Review simulation and test results, applying defined criteria to make pass/fail determinations and evaluate expected system behavior.
Triage failures, investigate system behavior, and identify high-level root causes based on test data and systems and safety requirements.
Reproduce drive-data failures in simulation when possible and route findings to the appropriate functional owners and development teams.
Partner closely with software development, testing, and systems teams to establish rapid, iterative feedback loops and drive issues toward resolution.
