About the Role
The role will involve the application of scenario-based testing approaches for ADAS and Automated Driving Systems, including scenario generation, defining and analysing the operational design domain (ODD), using scenario definition languages, and applying ontological concepts in testing. In addition, the role will involve developing testing plans and measuring coverage across functional and safety requirements by applying systems engineering techniques. The role is part of a wider team which includes experts in scenario concepts, data scientists, simulation-based testing, and safety analysis, and this role will involve close cooperation with this wider team.
Successful candidates will be exposed to a variety of academic and industrial partners through a number of our research projects like Horizon Europe funded SUNRISE, SYNERGIES, EVENTS, i4Driving etc., and UKRI / Innovate UK / CCAV funded, UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, DriveSafeAI.
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
About You
The successful candidate will need to have strong knowledge and experience in the application of systems engineering concepts and automated vehicle operation. You will need a good understanding of concepts like ontology, coverage metrics, operational design domain, and test scenarios for developing tests to verify and validate systems requirements. You will also need to demonstrate an understanding of standards like SAE J3016, ISO 21434, and other relevant safety standards in automated driving.
About the Department
The Safe Autonomy Research Group at WMG is undertaking a programme of research and engineering across the safety of automated transport (land, air, and marine). From fundamental research to applied research, the development of policy, standards, and regulation, and direct commercial research. Our programme of work is having a material impact on the creation and application of novel safety assurance methods across emerging technologies, influencing international standards, policy, and industrial methods.
