As a senior member of the Development Testing Operations team, you'll help shape testing practices, mentor teammates, and improve how we validate autonomous systems in real-world environments.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end testing programs, defining scope, priorities, success criteria, and execution across multiple complex engineering initiatives.
Define and continuously evolve testing methodologies, operational standards, and quality frameworks that improve consistency, scalability, and engineering confidence.
Lead cross-functional initiatives with engineering, product, TPM, safety, and operations teams to influence product readiness, launch decisions, and long-term strategy.
Drive complex investigations by leading root cause analysis across hardware, software, and operational systems, ensuring timely resolution while influencing long-term product improvements.

Establish metrics, analyze operational performance, and translate data into strategic recommendations that improve product quality, testing effectiveness, and overall fleet performance.
Mentor and develop operators while raising the technical bar across the Engineering Testing organization through coaching, knowledge sharing, and operational leadership.
Serve as a trusted technical and operational advisor, providing guidance during high-priority testing efforts, critical investigations, and cross-functional decision making.

Requirements

Experience defining operational standards, testing methodologies, or scalable processes that improve organizational performance.
Strong experience partnering with engineering, product, and program management teams to influence technical direction and product outcomes.
