Job description

Do you want to work closer to the vehicle and understand how our Cruise features actually behave on the road? Are you motivated by solving complex problems together with others, where your work directly impacts product quality and delivery? Would you like a role where you combine testing, system understanding, and coordination across teams?

Insights from the team

Team Altitude works with complete feature testing for Cruise within ADAS, ensuring that features behave as expected in real vehicles. The team combines hands‑on vehicle testing with system understanding to validate functionality in real‑world scenarios.

The team consists of a mix of roles, where some focus on simulation while others focus on vehicle testing. This role belongs to the vehicle testing group, working closely with both development teams and other ARTs.

Collaboration is a key part of how the team operates. You work closely together, often from the office, solving problems that span multiple systems and teams. The culture is open, supportive, and focused on finding solutions rather than assigning ownership.

You will interact with stakeholders across the organization, including product leads and partners, ensuring that insights from testing are understood and translated into action.

Your mission and day-to-day tasks

In this role, you connect system design with real‑world behavior. You make sure that Cruise performs as expected, technically correct, stable, and comfortable for the driver.

You work hands‑on with vehicles while also taking a coordinating role across teams. You help identify issues, clarify ownership, and drive alignment on how problems are solved.

The role is broad and gives you the opportunity to define what matters most. You focus on high‑level product behavior, while still diving deep into logs and data when needed. Your work is critical for ensuring that features reach production with the right quality.

Typical day-to-day work includes:

• Plan and execute vehicle testing on public roads and test tracks

• Verify feature behavior, comfort, and requirement fulfillment in real scenarios

• Select vehicle baselines and coordinate software under test across teams

• Lead cross‑ART discussions to align on issues, ownership, and next steps

• Analyze logs and system behavior to identify root causes

• Write and prioritize fault reports and support first‑level analysis

• Collaborate with product leads and development teams to drive resolution

• Contribute to test methods, KPIs, and verification strategies

Qualifications & experience

You enjoy working close to the product, where you can see the direct impact of your work. You are curious and take initiative, and you are comfortable navigating complex systems with many stakeholders.

You have a strong analytical mindset but keep the bigger picture in mind, understanding how different parts come together in the final product experience. You communicate clearly and collaborate naturally with others to move work forward.

You are motivated by roles where you can take ownership, define problems, and contribute to solutions that matter for the overall delivery.

Essential experience

• Background in automotive systems, electronics, or software integration

• Hands‑on experience with vehicle testing and diagnostics

• Experience analyzing logs and system behavior

• Strong communication and collaboration skills

• Driver’s license (required)

Nice to have

• Experience working with requirements and verification methods

• Experience defining test strategies, KPIs, or evaluation metrics

• Programming or data analysis experience (e.g. Python)

• T2 certification (can be obtained on the job)

What’s in it for you

• Take the next step within Zenseact and work closer to the vehicle and product behavior

• Gain broader exposure to Cruise by combining testing, system understanding, and coordination

• Strengthen your network and collaborate across multiple ARTs and stakeholders

• Develop a deeper understanding of how requirements translate into real‑world performance

• Grow in a team that values trust, flexibility, and individual strengths
