What is a QA Engineer at Torc Robotics?
A QA Engineer at Torc Robotics plays a critical role in the development and deployment of safe, self-driving vehicle technology. Working at the intersection of advanced robotics software and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, you are responsible for validating the software and systems that control Class 8 autonomous trucks. Your work directly impacts the safety of public roads, the reliability of autonomous freight transport, and the strategic goals of Torc Robotics as a key subsidiary of Daimler Truck.
Unlike traditional software quality assurance, QA at Torc Robotics is highly multi-dimensional. It spans virtual simulation environments, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) test benches, and physical vehicle testing on closed tracks and public highways. You will collaborate closely with software developers, systems engineers, and safety experts to design, automate, and execute testing strategies for the autonomous vehicle stack—including perception, localization, path planning, and vehicle control.
This role is intellectually challenging and carries immense responsibility. You are not just looking for minor software bugs; you are identifying complex edge cases and system-level failures where software interacts with physical hardware and unpredictable real-world environments. For engineers passionate about robotics, real-time safety-critical systems, and physical-digital integration, this position offers the chance to work on some of the most advanced engineering challenges of our time.
