Familiarity with test management and collaboration tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Slack).
Foundational understanding of automotive networks and protocols (CAN, Ethernet, LIN).
Basic understanding of vehicle/autonomy data and integration testing; ability to learn new tools and methods quickly.
Exposure to software integration and logging tools (Vector, Intrepid, INCA, dSpace) is preferred; willingness to upskill is expected.
Ability to assist in debugging software stacks and to partner with developers on issue resolution.
Knowledge of hardware/software interfaces and the autonomy software stack for assigned systems (introductory to intermediate level).
Familiarity with software release tools and environments (e.g., Jenkins, Artifactory, SPR, Linux).
Experience contributing to development from early build through launch (coursework, internships, or prior roles).
