About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Controls and Software Integration Engineer – AV Controls Integration to lead the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of the software tooling and automation that powers AV Controls integration and support HIL/SIL validation, and release execution. In this role, you will: Own complex, mission critical software components and pipelines that enable reliable, scalable AV Controls integration and regression testing across the ART. Act as the technical lead for integration tooling (Jenkins, Git, HIL/SIL automation, test management) and serve as a key partner to integration engineers, validation, and AV software teams. Apply strong engineering judgment to ambiguous, cross team problems, using data and metrics to drive decisions, quality, and continuous improvement. Mentor and elevate other engineers in software engineering best practices, automation, and AV integration patterns. This is an individual contributor role with broad technical scope and high impact across AV Controls Integration.

Requirements

• BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or related technical field; or equivalent practical experience.
• +5 years of professional software engineering experience, including substantial work on backend services, build/CI/CD systems, or test automation frameworks in embedded or distributed systems.
• Demonstrated expertise in at least one mainstream programming language (e.g., Python, C++, or Java ) and strong software design skills (modularity, testability, observability).
• Hands on experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) for complex, multi component systems.
• Experience with HIL/SIL environments or large scale test automation (test orchestration, environment management, result collection, triage), DSpace , VSpy , INCA, and other vehicle data analysis tools.
• Proven ability to own and deliver complex technical initiatives end - to - end with minimal guidance, across multiple stakeholders and teams.
• Strong communication skills; ability to translate technical details into clear plans, status, and trade offs for engineering and leadership audiences.

Nice To Haves

• MS in related Engineering field
• Experience in automotive , AV , or other safety critical domains (e.g., aerospace), especially with controls, perception , or motion planning stacks.
• Familiarity with Jira , Jira Xray , and test case / requirement traceability practices.
• Background with Git based workflows , code review practices, and trunk based development or release branching strategies.
• Exposure to ASPICE , CMMI , or similar process/maturity models, and working within structured SDLC and governance environments.

Responsibilities

• Integration Tooling & Platform Ownership Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines and supporting services that build, integrate, and validate AV Controls software across multiple scrums and ARTs.
• Own the HIL/SIL automation framework for AV Controls (job orchestration, scenario execution, results collection, health monitoring), ensuring high reliability and observability.
• Lead integration of test management systems (e.g., Jira Xray) with Jenkins, Git, and CI pipelines so automated and manual test results are traceable, queryable , and visible in dashboards.
• Define and evolve standards for configuration management, branching/tagging, and deployment for AV Controls releases.
• Integration Execution & Release Enablement Partner with integration leaders to translate release scope and entry/exit criteria into executable automation (pipelines, test suites, gating checks).
• Implement guardrails in CI/CD (e.g., required checks, regression gates, quality thresholds) to protect release readiness.
• Develop tools and scripts to streamline bench provisioning, software deployment, data collection, and log analysis for track and HIL/SIL environments.
• Use telemetry and metrics (regression pass rates, test stability, bench utilization , pipeline health) to identify bottlenecks and drive systemic improvements.
• Quality, Reliability & Engineering Excellence Champion test first and automation first practices for AV Controls integration; ensure new features ship with appropriate unit , integration, and HIL/SIL coverage.
• Lead design and code reviews for integration related services, frameworks, and infrastructure; raise the bar for reliability, performance, and maintainability.
• Drive PRTS resolution and root cause analysis for integration and pipeline failures, implementing durable fixes that prevent recurrence.
• Define and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and onboarding materials for integration tooling and workflows.
• Cross Team Technical Leadership Act as the owner for one or more major integration/tooling domains (e.g., HIL orchestration, regression management, deployment tooling), aligning roadmaps with AV Controls and ART priorities.
• Partner with AV Systems, AV Software, AV Testing & Validation, ADAS, and VMEC teams to ensure integration tooling supports cross domain scenarios and co simulation needs.
• Influence architecture and design decisions in AV Controls where integration, safety, and testability are key drivers.
• Represent AV Controls Integration tooling in cross ART forums, sharing status, risks, and proposals for platform level improvements.
• Mentoring & Culture Mentor level 5–6 engineers on software engineering fundamentals, CI/CD, test automation, and AV integration patterns.
• Model GM’s behaviors and winning ways: take ownership, communicate candidly with data, and collaborate across teams.
