• Be comfortable to whip up quick scripts to automate tasks, such as generating metrics, establishing traceability, etc, when necessary.
• You will be developing and maintaining tools that support cross-functional teams in their efforts towards developing software that adheres to a High Assurance Process.
• Autonomous vehicles have some of the largest, most complex software ever shipped in a safety-critical environment; solving that problem is one of the most exciting technical challenges of our lifetime.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, mathematics, computer science, or a related field
• 5+ years of industry experience working with large codebases and full-stack systems
• Strong proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue.js, Angular)
• Solid experience with databases (SQL/NoSQL), Linux systems programming, and scripting (Python, shell)
• Familiarity with software build systems, version control (e.g., Git), and testing methodologies

Bonus Qualifications

• Robotics, Automotive or Aerospace software experience
• Familiarity with Static and Dynamic Analysis Tools - such as Coverity, Valgrind/Helgrind, CCM, etc
• Experience with safety-critical systems
