How to Apply for Verification and Validation Test Engineer

at Glydways

🏢 About Glydways

Glydways is pioneering net-negative greenhouse gas autonomous transportation systems, making them unique in developing affordable, efficient, and eco-friendly mobility solutions that actively reduce environmental impact. Working here means contributing to cutting-edge technology that addresses climate change through innovative transportation, offering the chance to be part of a mission-driven company transforming urban mobility with autonomous systems.

About This Role

As a Verification and Validation Test Engineer at Glydways, you'll ensure all testing aligns with safety-critical requirements for autonomous transportation systems, creating and executing V&V test cases from subsystem to vehicle level. This role is impactful because you'll directly contribute to the safety certification of net-negative GHG autonomous vehicles, implementing multiple testing tiers including SIL, HIL, and integrated systems testing to validate complex robotics and autonomy systems.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves developing V&V test cases in Jama Connect based on safety-critical requirements, then executing SIL or HIL tests on autonomous system components. You might analyze test results, document artifacts for compliance, and collaborate with engineering teams to refine testing strategies that support Glydways' net-negative GHG transportation goals.
