• Understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and Agile team environments.
• Strong problem-solving mindset, eagerness to learn, and ability to collaborate effectively with teammates.
• Strong expertise in version control systems (Git, GitHub, Gerrit), CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions), and scripting languages (Python, Bash).
• Strong oral and written communication skills.
• Ability to manage time, meet deadlines, and work independently.
• Legal authorization to work in Canada and ability to travel to the US.
• Valid Canadian driver’s license.

Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience in automotive software development or embedded systems.
• Strong interpersonal skills for effective collaboration in a geographically dispersed team.
• Familiarity with test frameworks such as Robot, Unittest, Selenium, PyTest, CppUTest and similar tools.
• Exposure to BDD frameworks such as Behave, Cucumber, and similar tools, with an understanding of the BDD mindset.
• Proficiency in reading and debugging C/C++ source code.
• Basic knowledge of controls theory and the software development process.
