  • Collaborate cross-functionally with application, infrastructure, and safety teams to gather requirements and ensure alignment with high-assurance development practices.
  • Maintain and troubleshoot internal tools, while also writing quick automation scripts (e.g., for metrics, traceability) to streamline workflows.
  • Embrace an experimental, fail-fast mindset while tackling the unique challenges of building complex, safety-critical software for autonomous vehicles.
