• Own defects through to resolution and keep the customer informed of their status throughout
• Support milestone deliveries on site through smoke testing, release validation and test execution
• Lead technical working sessions with the customer's domain engineers across software, hardware and validation
• Document bench configurations, flashing procedures and integration steps so that setup knowledge is preserved and transferable

• Familiarity with embedded operating systems such as Linux, QNX or Android Automotive
• Experience with CI/CD and release processes on large software projects
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to summarize complex technical findings clearly for engineers and program stakeholders
• The ability to work on their own on site and to make sound technical judgments
• Willingness to be based at a customer site and to travel as the engagement requires
• BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field

Nice to have:

• Experience with automotive technologies including AUTOSAR, SOME/IP, UDS diagnostics and LIN
