You will drive engineering vehicles in designated areas to collect data, working approximately five to eight hours per day. You will start and stop recording devices as needed and perform basic checks and troubleshooting of equipment and software. You will analyze and report on the quality of data collected during each shift, provide feedback, and propose process improvements to optimize data collection. You will prepare detailed daily driving reports documenting observations and issues, and check vehicle safety and operational readiness before each shift. You will survey assigned areas and design routes that include scenarios suitable for validating advanced driver assistance technology. You will learn and become proficient in the latest driver assistance software and related vehicle features. You will conduct on-road tests based on test specifications and provide support for scenarios as requested. You will also assist with other vehicle engineering tests as needed.
