• Operate and evaluate vehicles in structured and exploratory test routes, validating embedded feature behavior and performance
• Partner with technicians and garage teams to manage vehicle setup, diagnostics, and resolution of hardware/software issues
• Lead issue triage and debugging efforts using CAN tools (e.g., CANalyzer, Canape, Vehicle Spy), log analysis, and collaboration with engineering owners
• Document, track, and escalation software issues with clear context, reproduction steps, and logs in tools like Jira
• Contribute to the creation and improvement of vehicle-level test processes, test plans, and validation workflows
• Travel as needed to proving grounds (e.g., winter testing), test tracks, and company engineering sites to support vehicle testing and fleet operations
• Afternoon, weekend, or nighttime testing may be required depending on development needs and test schedules
