Software Development Engineer In Test

Company is helping an on-demand, autonomous ride-hailing company find a Software Development Engineer to help accelerate software releases by ensuring the delivery of safe, reliable, and high-quality autonomous vehicle software. In this role, you’ll build and maintain tooling that automates integration and acceptance testing activities across complex vehicle systems. Your work will play a critical role in validating software quality, identifying regressions, improving test coverage, and supporting functional and safety sign-off processes. You’ll collaborate closely with development and validation teams to improve testing efficiency and system reliability across both simulated and on-vehicle environments. The ideal candidate is technically strong, detail-oriented, and experienced developing automated test frameworks within complex, safety-critical systems.

As a Software Development Engineer in Test, you'll:

• Develop and maintain tooling, frameworks, and automated scripts supporting integration and acceptance testing activities.
• Investigate issues introduced by recent code changes and support daily integration and acceptance test sign-off activities.
• Monitor, analyze, and automate reporting for offline testing environments, including HIL systems, CI test runs, and on-vehicle logs.
• Develop tools and workflows for vehicle log analysis, failure tracing, root cause investigation, and test data analysis.
• Identify software regressions, support defect triage activities, and collaborate with development teams on corrective actions and improvements.
• Contribute to testing methodologies, validation strategies, and automation improvements supporting functional and safety validation efforts.
• Partner cross-functionally with software, systems, and validation teams to improve release quality and operational reliability.

Ideal candidate profile:

Qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related field AND a minimum of 5 years in complex testing environments.
