• Excellent communication skills to convey test outcomes and work cross-functionally.
• Ability to work autonomously in high-pressure environments and with regulatory bodies.

Preferred Qualifications (Bonus Points)

• Direct experience in AV (Autonomous Vehicle) development or validation.
• Familiarity with safety standards like ISO-26262, ISO-21448, or MIL-STD.
• Knowledge of sensors such as RADAR, LIDAR, Cameras, GNSS.
• Experience with test automation, simulation tools, and system-in-the-loop testing.

What We Offer

• Structured onboarding with mentorship and training
• Opportunity to shape the future of mobility through hands-on engineering
• Competitive compensation and career development paths
• A culture of cross-functional collaboration and mission-driven innovation
• Opportunities for international project involvement
