The Systems Readiness and Performance team is the crucial bridge between software development and real-world deployment. We are responsible for driving system design, for verifying and validating the autonomy stack, and for defining, measuring, and validating system performance targets. We work closely with stakeholders in autonomy, infrastructure, and operations to build the definitive safety case for the commercial launch of our fully driverless IONIQ 5 robotaxis in Las Vegas later this year.
We are looking for a passionate, self starting engineering leader to lead the AV Behavior Understanding and Evaluation team within the SRP organization. This team defines the standards for safe, comfortable, and assertive autonomous driving. We bridge the gap between systems engineering and real-world performance by decomposing the Operational Design Domain (ODD) into actionable competencies. The team owns the behavior definition, actionable driving policies backed by tests, and acceptance criteria derived from standards and human benchmarks. The team works closely with the autonomy teams on both target setting and validation.
We are seeking a hands-on Principal Engineer Team Lead to drive the design, evaluation, and scaling of these systems through data-driven design backed by structured and large scale assessment in simulation and on the road. You will lead a high-performing team to transform complex data into measurable progress toward a safer, smarter transportation future.
We encourage a hybrid schedule with in-office time at one of our locations in Boston, Pittsburgh, or Las Vegas to support collaboration, or this role can be fully remote.

Motional is a driverless technology company making autonomous vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality. We’re driven by something more.
Our journey is always people first.
We aren't just developing driverless cars; we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move.
Higher purpose, greater impact.
We’re creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads. We believe in building a great place to work through a progressive, global culture that is diverse, inclusive, and ensures people feel valued at every level of the organization. Diversity helps us to see the world differently; it’s not only good for our business, it’s the right thing to do.
Scale up, not starting up.
Our team is behind some of the industry's largest leaps forward, including the first fully-autonomous cross-country drive in the U.S, the launch of the world's first robotaxi pilot, and operation of the world's longest-standing public robotaxi fleet. We’re driven to scale; we’re moving towards commercialization of our technology, and we need team members who are ready to embrace change and challenges.
