Job description
Company is helping an on-demand, autonomous ride-hailing company find a Software Development Engineer to help accelerate software releases by ensuring the delivery of safe, reliable, and high-quality autonomous vehicle software.
In this role, you'll build and maintain tooling that automates integration and acceptance testing activities across complex vehicle systems. Your work will play a critical role in validating software quality, identifying regressions, improving test coverage, and supporting functional and safety sign-off processes. You'll collaborate closely with development and validation teams to improve testing efficiency and system reliability across both simulated and on-vehicle environments.
The ideal candidate is technically strong, detail-oriented, and experienced developing automated test frameworks within complex, safety-critical systems.

As a Software Development Engineer in Test, you'll:
  • Develop and maintain tooling, frameworks, and automated scripts supporting integration and acceptance testing activities.
  • Investigate issues introduced by recent code changes and support daily integration and acceptance test sign-off activities.
  • Monitor, analyze, and automate reporting for offline testing environments, including HIL systems, CI test runs, and on-vehicle logs.
  • Develop tools and workflows for vehicle log analysis, failure tracing, root cause investigation, and test data analysis.
  • Identify software regressions, support defect triage activities, and collaborate with development teams on corrective actions and improvements.
  • Contribute to testing methodologies, validation strategies, and automation improvements supporting functional and safety validation efforts.
  • Partner cross-functionally with software, systems, and validation teams to improve release quality and operational reliability.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related field AND a minimum of 5 years in complex testing environments. (Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Aerospace, or related industries).
  • Experience with developing automated scripts for software functional testing.
  • Knowledge of software testing methodologies and experience in developing, executing, and automated test scripts.
  • Expert Python programming experience with a focus on system-level tests and test framework development.
