• Strong engineering fundamentals with the ability to diagnose both hardware and embedded software
• Experience with common communication protocols (CAN, LIN, SPI, Ethernet)
• Software development skills in C++, Python, and/or JavaScript; able to review, debug, and contribute to production codebases
• Experience working with driver assistance and autonomous driving systems; experience with camera-based perception systems a plus
• Data analysis skills (SQL, data visualization, basic statistics)

• A collaborative but independent working style, comfortable digging into problems autonomously
• Demonstrated experience coordinating successful projects across hardware/software engineering, field service, and customer support teams
• Prior experience in Formula SAE or experience working on personal cars is a plus

• Review and triage field cases: analyze vehicle logs and diagnostic data to root-cause issues across hardware and software
• Own the diagnostic strategy for autonomous driving features: define what needs to be detected, design the diagnostic approach, and implement it in production code
• Optimize repair procedures and guide future product designs to improve serviceability
• Analyze fleet metrics to identify trends, edge cases, and areas for improvement
• Support vehicle-level testing and validation of fixes and new features
• Present insights and recommendations to leadership and cross-functional teams
• Establish and support a strong feedback loop from Customer Support and Service teams to the development teams focused on autonomous driving
