Senior V&V Engineer – Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) & Simulation

Location: Santa Clara, CA; onsite 5 days a week

Salary: $160,000–$260,000 per year

Company

hirify.global develops Level 4 autonomous transportation technology for short-haul, B2B middle-mile logistics, integrating software and hardware for commercial autonomous trucks.

What you will do

• Design and scale automated software-in-the-loop testing pipelines within cloud-based CI/CD workflows.
• Create high-fidelity synthetic scenarios covering urban and suburban middle-mile routes, edge cases, adverse weather, and severe traffic interactions.
• Build log-replay and permutation-testing workflows that turn fleet disengagements and other events into parametric simulation suites.
• Verify perception, planning, controls, and map execution against safety metrics and behavioral assertions.
• Assess simulator realism, sensor physics models, and vehicle dynamics fidelity against real-world data.
• Develop Grafana, SQL, and Python dashboards tracking pass/fail rates, safety violations, and coverage across daily simulation runs.

Requirements

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, Data Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in SIL testing, virtual simulation validation, or automated software QA for autonomous vehicles or complex robotics.
• Exceptional proficiency in C++ and Python.
• Strong experience with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud compute clusters such as AWS or GCP.
• Strong working knowledge of simulation tools and continuous integration pipelines.

Nice to have

• Experience validating autonomous planning and control algorithms for middle-mile or commercial vehicles.
• Experience with dynamic scene generation, procedural generation, or synthetic data validation.
• Proficiency in statistical safety verification and coverage-based testing methodologies.

Culture & Benefits

• Work on autonomous transportation technology supporting safer and more efficient freight movement.
• Collaborative, respectful, agile, and inclusive working environment.
• Opportunity to contribute to a resilient and more sustainable supply chain.
• Focus on professional growth and equal opportunities for team members.
