The role requires test leadership, aviation or developmental testing experience, ordnance handling, an active Top Secret clearance, and up to 25% travel.

Designs and executes verification plans, test cases, and procedures for autonomous vehicle systems. The role includes vehicle-in-the-loop, in-vehicle, public-road, and test-track testing; analyzing results; troubleshooting issues with engineering teams; and supporting release recommendations. The engineer will collaborate cross-functionally to validate automotive software and hardware systems and contribute to production readiness.

Lead the development, implementation, auditing, and improvement of global safety programs and incident-response processes. Translate regulatory, engineering, legal, and operational requirements into safety standards, playbooks, and decision structures. Analyze safety trends, manage escalations, lead tabletop drills, oversee internal reporting, deliver training, and collaborate with operations, engineering, customers, and global partners to strengthen safety compliance and risk management.

Senior individual contributor to define and deliver enterprise IAM strategy: design resilient IDP architecture, enforce Zero Trust and least-privilege, automate identity lifecycle, implement RBAC/PAM/secrets management, enable SSO and authentication protocols, govern access for human and machine identities including AI agents, and partner cross-functionally to meet security and audit requirements.

Leads day-to-day HD mapping operations for autonomous vehicle systems, managing specialist workloads, production schedules, map quality standards, issue triage, and release validation. Coordinates with engineering, simulation, field operations, and safety teams to resolve map issues and improve coverage. The role includes mentoring technical contributors, maintaining triage processes, analyzing field and sensor data, and using mapping and data tools to support high-throughput production workflows.

Leads and grows a firmware engineering team building foundational embedded systems for an automotive Vehicle OS. Responsibilities include architecture, development, code reviews, debugging, hardware integration, platform bring-up, sensors integration, RTOS and Linux kernel development, hardware abstraction layers, and cross-functional delivery of safety-critical vehicle software.

Own day-to-day execution for customer Vehicle OS programs, including Jira backlog health, defect and blocker management, release scope tracking, requirements traceability, milestone readiness, and recurring reporting. Coordinate with customer and engineering teams, maintain Confluence documentation, support integration and testing activities, and close follow-ups across distributed teams. The role also emphasizes automating reporting and analysis while developing toward full technical program ownership.

Build and deploy autonomy software for unmanned aerial vehicles, integrating embedded Linux systems with autopilots, datalinks, sensors, navigation systems, and ground control stations. Perform hardware-software integration, SIL/HIL testing, system bring-up, troubleshooting, field flight testing, and customer demonstrations. Collaborate with autonomy engineers, defense customers, and UAS vendors to deliver dependable vehicle intelligence capabilities.

Own revenue accounting infrastructure for complex, multi-year software contracts. Responsibilities include ASC 606 technical accounting, revenue recognition policies, deal desk leadership, contract review, Salesforce and NetSuite order processing, SSP determination, month-end close, forecasting, reconciliations, disclosures, SOX controls, audit readiness, and cross-functional process improvement.

Build and own an onboard live-map estimator for autonomous vehicles, fusing HD map priors with live perception in real time. Develop map change detection, trust semantics, evaluation and regression pipelines, and degraded-mode behavior. Ship modern C++ estimation software on embedded compute while defining interfaces with planner and consumer teams. Extend the system into fleet-based map freshness and correction pipelines.
