Responsibilities

Own and grow software-in-the-loop environments, including product variants, scenarios, simulated sensor and video pipelines, and runtime optimization.
Build functional hardware-in-the-loop coverage for motion control, trajectory execution, camera and sensor bring-up, firmware updates, network failover, power loss, and unexpected reboots.
Own CI integration, including scheduling, dependency chaining, artifact and log capture, result reporting, and flaky-test triage.
Expand the test platform for new compute generations, payloads, and product variants.
Develop diagnostic tooling with log capture, serial console capture, and test artifacts so failures can be investigated from CI output.
Partner with hardware and manufacturing engineers to build and expand physical HITL benches, fixtures, switching, power control, and instrumentation.
Enable firmware, platform, and business line teams to add tests to the framework and support them as users.

Requirements

4+ years of professional software engineering experience, including meaningful experience building test infrastructure, CI systems, or simulation for systems involving real hardware.
Proficiency in Python for test authoring and automation, plus working ability in Rust or C++ for reading and debugging services under test.
Demonstrated experience automating tests against physical hardware, including device provisioning, remote power and reset control, serial consoles, network booting, or instrumented benches.
Strong CI/CD engineering experience with expensive stages, hardware resource contention, and scheduled execution.
Experience with declarative configuration and reproducible builds; Nix or NixOS is preferred, with Bazel, Buildroot, Yocto, Terraform, Ansible, or Pulumi as adjacent alternatives.
Solid Linux systems fundamentals, including systemd, networking, filesystems, and boot processes.
Ability to evaluate test cost and fix or remove flaky tests.
US person status and eligibility to obtain and maintain a US security clearance are required.
Experience with robotics or vehicle simulation using Unreal, Unity, Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or custom simulators is preferred.
Familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson provisioning and flashing workflows is preferred.
Experience with virtualization and VM-based integration testing, including GPU passthrough, is preferred.
Background in hardware test engineering, HIL rigs, or manufacturing test systems is preferred.
Familiarity with CAN, serial protocols, or bus-level diagnostic tooling is preferred.
