Senior System Software Engineer, AV Platform - Test Platform Infrastructure, Tools and Simulation

• Drive the expansion of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) infrastructure to support the robust deployment and lifecycle management of next-generation autonomous systems at scale. • Build and evolve agentic AI tools and frameworks to accelerate development, improve efficiency, and enable the scaling of new platforms. • Lead highly cross-functional design for the HIL system — spanning HW architecture, embedded software, and application-layer tooling to deliver scalable workflows across organizational boundaries.

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience). • 5+ years of demonstrated success in designing and implementing system software and tools. • Expertise in low-level debugging and system-level optimization within complex embedded hardware-software ecosystems. • Proven ability to drive technical alignment across organizational boundaries, synthesizing system-wide requirements from multiple stakeholders. • Strong communicator who can operate effectively across global, fast-paced teams. • A results-driven mindset to solving ambiguous technical challenges.

• Hands-on experience designing and deploying HIL/SIL systems for embedded automotive or robotics platforms. • Demonstrated track record of building agentic AI tools that accelerate software development. • Experience scaling CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes) in cloud-native or hybrid environments for mission-critical system software. • In-depth domain expertise in automotive networking protocols (Ethernet, CAN/CAN-FD, LIN) and real-time communication middleware.
