Job Level
About the role
- Lead the design and maintenance of large-scale event-driven software/hardware -in-the-loop (SIL/HIL) testing frameworks, utilizing advanced software patterns to improve modularity and reduce code duplication.
- Architect and manage end-to-end continuous integration (CI) pipelines to automate the execution of regression suites.
- Lead root cause analysis for complex system-level failures, developing log mining scripts and visualization dashboards (e.g., Grafana, SQL-based notebooks) to triage failures and track performance metrics.
- Perform gap analyses between high-level safety requirements and technical test implementations, including the development of intricate timing and prioritization patterns.Lead end-to-end validation and clearance process for safety-critical monitors, such as for collision detection systems.
Requirements
- Good technical communication skills, with the ability to summarize complex test failures and provide clear impact assessments for our tests, tools, and pipelines.
- Demonstrated experience delivering complex projects in Python, including the use of AI-based coding, such as for infrastructure development, tooling and automated test writing.
- Deep understanding of HIL and SIL methodologies, including real-time fault injection
- Ownership from design, to implementation and maintenance of automated testing pipelines (e.g., using Bamboo, Jenkins, or similar) and developing custom automation plugins.
- Practical knowledge of Linux internals and networking protocols used in high-throughput real-time systems.
