Autonomy Release Engineer II
Job description
You will ensure not only that software is releasable, but that it is safe, well-understood, and performs reliably in real-world conditions. As an Autonomous Release Engineer, you will contribute to solving challenging and complex problems facing vehicle autonomy — building the tools, instrumentation, and processes that make releases faster, safer, and more confident.
Autonomous Release Engineers are responsible for the integrated functioning of the autonomy system. Release Engineers interact with sensor hardware, middleware, autonomy software stack, networking, health monitoring, compute platforms, and electronic systems.
This is a hands-on, systems-oriented role requiring strong technical…
Job responsibilities
- Release ownership and execution across major autonomy releases, incremental/performance releases, and hotfix/safety patches
- Manage branching strategy, versioning, and release cut processes
- Drive release readiness and go/no-go decisions in partnership with cross-functional teams
- Design, build, and maintain internal tooling to support:
- Release readiness dashboards and automated health checks
- Simulation corpus integration and regression tracking
- Release metrics collection, reporting, and visualization
- Automated validation signal aggregation across sim, HIL, and on-road testing
Job requirements
- Strong analytical and systems-thinking skills — comfortable reasoning about complex, multi-component systems
- Proficient in Python for scripting, automation, and tool development
- Familiarity with data pipelines, metrics collection, and visualization tools (e.g. Plotly Dash, Tableau, AWS QuickSight, or similar)
- Ability to read and interpret logs, telemetry, and system health signals to identify root cause
- Comfort working across hardware and software boundaries
- Strong written and verbal communication — able to translate technical findings into clear release decisions
- Ability to work cross-functionally without direct authority
- Eagerness to continuously learn new systems, tools, and workflows
