Release ownership and release execution end-to-end across:
Major autonomy releases
Incremental/performance releases
Hotfix/safety patches
Manage branching strategy, versioning, and release cut processes
Drive release readiness and go/no-go decisions
Partner cross-functionally with Autonomy, Infra, Validation, and Fleet Ops
Act as a system owner for release readiness
Investigate and resolve complex issues arising from:
Software/hardware interactions
Distributed systems behavior
On-vehicle vs simulation discrepancies
Develop deep understanding of:
Sensor stack, middleware, autonomy stack
Compute platforms, networking, configurations
Be the go-to for:
“Why does this fail in the real world?”
“What changed between releases?”
Enforce stage-gated release framework:
Feature Complete → Code Freeze → Validation → Release Candidate
Integrate validation signals:
Simulation corpus results
Regression testing
Vehicle testing (HIL / on-road)
Ensure safety-critical issues are identified, tracked, and gated
Take initiative to find and permanently solve challenging system level issues caused by the interplay between different software and hardware components.
Collaborate and lead system-wide improvements when working with other teams without having direct ownership or management responsibility.
Assess and develop approaches that scale and improve performance in a variety of ways (e.g. CPU performance, memory usage, disk usage, network usage).
