- Deploy, configure, and validate software releases on vehicles.
- Build diagnostic tools, scripts, and automation to improve fleet reliability and engineering efficiency.
- Work closely with fleet operations and other engineering teams to support vehicle testing and continuously improve our software stack.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and proficiency in at least one programming language.
- Experience with Linux systems, command-line tools, and software debugging.
- Ability to systematically investigate complex technical problems and identify root causes.
- Comfortable working across software and hardware interfaces.
