- Ensuring sufficient protection in the infrastructure through CI/CD, unit testing, and other measures is paramount.
- Experience with unit testing initiatives and the ability to identify and address issues in this area is highly valued.
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins and Bazel is beneficial for this role.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Experience with scaling the use of autonomous vehicles simulation frameworks.
- Experience with or knowledge of AI/ML systems, or a background in working with AI-native systems.
- Experience in large-scale simulation for hardware or software validation of any robotics solution.
