About the role
- Vehicle Infrastructure (VI) is the critical layer bridging our autonomy stack and the physical machines it powers.
- As a Senior Vehicle Infrastructure Engineer, you are the architect of reliability and scale, owning the OS, provisioning, and release paths that ensure our autonomous fleet operates predictably in the field. This role goes far beyond maintenance; you will design the platform that prevents failures by design, collaborating with our DevOps team to orchestrate CI/CD pipelines, while taking full ownership of their operational impact and quality, evolving our OTA update strategies, and building the automation that makes our vehicle state reproducible, resilient, and ready for global deployment.
- This position requires a multi-talented engineer who thrives where software intersects with the physical world. You won’t just maintain the status quo; you will architect our autonomous platform’s reliability. This requires a systems-first mindset that navigates seamlessly across engineering boundaries—debugging bare-metal firmware and raw sensor streams in the vehicle bay, optimizing the underlying OS and container runtime, and architecting the infrastructure...
