Scenario Engineer, Mining Autonomy

Applied Intuition Applied Intuition · Robotics · Sunnyvale, CA · Software Quality Operations

This role focuses on creating and managing simulation test scenarios for autonomous vehicles in the mining industry. It involves designing scenarios, defining performance requirements, creating visualizations, and collaborating with product and customer teams. While it deals with autonomous systems, the core function is scenario engineering and simulation, not direct AI/ML model development.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design scenarios across Mining Autonomy domains
  2. Define and implement safety and comfort performance requirements for scenarios
  3. Create data visualizations and reports for understanding AV performance and coverage
  4. Work closely with our product teams while using and providing feedback on core simulation functionality and usability
  5. Support customer teams in defining and building scenario libraries relevant for their specific operational design domain
