You will work across Behavior, Software, Simulation, Safety, Legal, Product, and Operations to build a validation system that supports sound safety and launch decisions and earns the trust of the engineers and leaders who depend on it. What You'll Do Set the long-term technical strategy and systems engineering approach for autonomy behavior validation across capabilities, programs, and releases. This includes behavior decomposition, metrics, acceptance criteria, coverage, confidence, and traceability. Define what "ready" means for autonomous
