Staff Engineer, Team Lead - Core Infrastructure

Role overview Lead the creation of a team responsible for testing and supporting core software used across vehicles, test environments, and release systems. Set the technical direction for platform quality and operational response, while remaining close to test results, incidents, and the engineers doing the work.

Responsibilities - Own platform test suites, combining integration tests from partner teams into coordinated runs. - Plan and oversee stress, fault-injection, regression, and release qualification campaigns across hardware, software, simulation, and vehicle environments. - Establish on-call coverage, incident triage, and support processes for onboard software and related deployment and data services. - Hire, coach, and retain engineers; set priorities and support career growth while developing team leads. - Coordinate with engineering and operations teams on test outcomes, platform support, and issue resolution.

Requirements - At least 10 years of software engineering experience, including engineering team leadership, in systems tied to physical hardware or the infrastructure that operates it. - Experience owning system-level testing or production support for software relied on by other teams. - Working knowledge of areas such as embedded software, Linux, middleware, or test and release infrastructure. - Experience supporting software in production fleets or field environments, including on-call, bring-up, and product releases. - Track record of building and developing teams, with an inclusive approach to leadership. - Degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or equivalent practical knowledge and experience.

Nice to have - Automotive functional safety experience, including using test results to verify requirements. - Experience establishing fleet or platform incident response, on-call rotations, and runbooks. - Hands-on work with hardware-in-the-loop, software-in-the-loop, or simulation testing. - Background in autonomous vehicles or robotics.
