About us:
Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.
 
Role Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Verification and Validation (V&V) Engineer to join our team, focusing on the rigorous testing and quality assurance of our cutting-edge LiDAR products. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer with strong programming skills, a passion for data analysis, and experience in building robust test solutions for complex systems.
  • Design, develop, and deploy V&V hardware and software test solutions, systems, and automated test fixtures necessary for comprehensive Lidar sensor characterisation and validation.
  • Contribute significantly to the implementation and maintenance of the test software architecture using industry best practices.
  • Utilize strong Python skills to develop scripts and programs for test automation, data acquisition from sensors, and post-processing of results.
  • Design and develop scenes containing objects placed at several range locations to characterize Lidar systems is a controlled environment.
  • Execute detailed test plans, protocols, and test cases (functional, performance, reliability, environmental, etc.) on Lidar systems.
  • Manage, process, and analyze large datasets generated from testing activities to identify performance trends, system anomalies, and root causes of failures.
  • Generate accurate and timely V&V reports, including detailed test results, summaries, and documentation required for compliance and internal review.
