The HIL Service and Reliability team maintains Cruise’s large-scale and highly available Hardware in the Loop (HIL) test platforms. AV engineers at Cruise use this platform as a primary means for testing and developing features, validating hardware, firmware and software changes, and facilitating continuous integration. We own the platform and build automation tools to remotely resolve issues and prevent issue recurrence.
We are looking for a Senior Hardware SRE engineer to design scalable, accessible, and stable test systems and frameworks that enable development, integration, and validation of performance at Cruise. In this position, you will design and develop core infrastructure components for our large-scale HIL test platforms that empower cruise to scale faster with stability, cost, and security in mind. You will work directly with stakeholders from various cross functional teams and manage complex challenges which are unique to Cruise. You will need an aptitude to learn your immediate responsibilities as well as their alignment with broader team and company goals.
