Glydways is reimagining public transit through a groundbreaking network of carbon-neutral, autonomous vehicles on dedicated roadways. The company's mission is to revolutionize transit with high capacity, exceptional user experience, affordability, and minimal environmental impact.
The Test Engineering team is responsible for proving that Glydways' integrated autonomous transit system is safe, reliable, and ready for real-world operation. This role focuses on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and the test environments that allow the company to exercise real controllers, software, networks, interfaces, and failure modes before deployment to vehicles, test tracks, or customer sites.
As a System Test Engineer, you will build, operate, and improve HIL test capabilities for this complex autonomous transit system. You will work at the boundary between test engineering, embedded systems, controls, software, hardware interfaces, automation, and data analysis. Key responsibilities include:
• Develop and execute HIL test plans, procedures, and automated test cases for integrated autonomous transit behavior
• Build, configure, maintain, and improve HIL benches, test harnesses, simulated interfaces, real hardware interfaces, network setups, timing synchronization, data acquisition, and test data management
• Translate requirements, operational scenarios, safety needs, and regression concerns into repeatable HIL tests with clear pass/fail criteria
• Expand automated regression coverage so system behavior can be tested earlier and more frequently
• Execute and troubleshoot tests involving embedded controllers, vehicle subsystems, autonomy interfaces, communications, diagnostics, fault handling, and degraded-mode behavior
• Analyze logs, telemetry, traces, dashboards, and bench observations to determine test outcomes and support root-cause analysis
• Track HIL test failures from discovery through closure, including issue classification, impact assessment, and verification of fixes
• Improve test automation, simulators, tooling, dashboards, data pipelines, and reporting workflows
• Support readiness reviews by preparing evidence on test environment readiness, configuration status, and open issue disposition
• Collaborate closely with embedded software, autonomy, vehicle engineering, systems engineering, safety, quality, operations, and deployment teams
• Build lightweight tools, scripts, widgets, dashboards, or utilities when existing tools are insufficient
The role includes hands-on work with test benches, controllers, networks, lab equipment, vehicles, and Glydways test facilities. Some travel or on-site presence should be expected for integration campaigns, test environment bring-up, and major release demonstrations. The posting indicates openness to candidates across a range of experience levels, from strong mid-level engineers through staff-level technical leaders, with scope and title calibrated based on experience.
**Requirements:**
Required:
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field
• 4+ years of experience in system test, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, embedded systems test, systems integration, product validation, autonomous systems, robotics, transportation, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, industrial automation, or other complex hardware/software systems
• Experience developing or executing integration-level or system-level tests, including scenario design, test procedures, acceptance criteria, execution, analysis, and reporting
• Experience working with complex electromechanical or cyber-physical systems that combine software, controls, sensors, networks, hardware, safety constraints, and operational procedures
• Ability to analyze logs, telemetry, traces, test data, and system behavior using tools such as Python, dashboards, log viewers, notebooks, or equivalent analysis environments
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams and communicate technical risk, test outcomes, and blockers clearly
Preferred:
• Hands-on experience building, maintaining, or extending HIL benches, test harnesses, simulators, automated regression frameworks, or continuous integration-driven test execution
• Experience with embedded systems, controller testing, vehicle networks, diagnostics, fault injection, real-time systems, or hardware/software integration
• Ability to read, modify, or write C/C++ for embedded systems, test harnesses, or low-level debugging
• Experience with Python-based test automation, data analysis, dashboards, report generation, or practical engineering tools
• Experience with autonomous vehicles, automated transit systems, railway systems, robotics, aerospace, automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or other safety-critical mobility platforms
• Experience with requirements, issue-tracking, or lifecycle tools such as Jama, DOORS, Polarion, Systems Modeling Language, Jira, GitHub, or equivalent tools
• Working knowledge of safety, quality, or transportation standards such as EN 50126, EN 50129, EN 50716, ISO 26262, ASCE 21, National Fire Protection Association 130, or related standards
