What you will do

• Lead integration testing across the autonomy stack, coordinate software deliveries, and own the end-to-end integration process.
• Maintain a stable integration branch by managing merge requests, resolving conflicts, and enforcing branch hygiene across a large codebase.
• Design and maintain automated test pipelines and CI/CD infrastructure for continuous integration of autonomy software.
• Run simulation-based testing campaigns and plan on-vehicle tests across real-world scenarios and operating conditions.
• Track autonomy-system performance metrics and KPIs, produce system-health reports, and investigate integration failures and regressions.
• Partner with perception, planning, and controls teams on subsystem interfaces, integration risks, delivery timing, targeted features, and bug fixes.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a mathematically or engineering-focused field such as physics, aerospace engineering, or mechanical engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3–5 years of industry experience working on real-world autonomous vehicle or robotic systems.
• Experience with system-level integration testing, including simulation and hardware-in-the-loop or on-vehicle validation.
• Strong programming skills in C/C++ and Python.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated test frameworks.
• Familiarity with git-based workflows, including branch management, merge request review, and conflict resolution in large codebases.
• Expertise in software development in a Linux environment.
• Systems-level understanding of autonomous vehicle or robotic software architecture, including perception, planning, and controls interactions.
• Ability to design meaningful simulation test scenarios, analyze quantitative performance data, make testing decisions with incomplete information, communicate findings clearly, and manage cross-team dependencies.

Nice to have

• Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with AV or robotics simulation platforms such as Simian, CARLA, Gazebo, or similar.
• Familiarity with behavior planning, prediction, perception, or controls sufficient to diagnose cross-subsystem integration issues.
• Experience developing performance dashboards, data visualizations, or automated reporting tools.
• Background in ADAS development or safety-critical software validation.
