    • Fault detection, fault handling, and system-level robustness
  • Collaborate closely with software engineers, electrical engineers, product designers, product managers, and UI/UX teams to drive CONOPS, activity diagrams, feature design, development, and validation.

  • Support end-to-end feature validation, contributing to the definition and execution of test cases and test plans across:
    • Bench and HIL testing
    • Vehicle-level bring-up

What You Will Bring
