- Experience: 5+ years executing vehicle-level closed-course testing on proving grounds for AVs, ADAS, or automotive OEMs
- Practical Skills:
- Direct experience operating soft-target robotic platforms
- Proficiency in automotive data acquisition tools (CANoe, CANape, Dewesoft, Wireshark)
- Strong Python scripting capabilities for log parsing and test metrics generation
