• Own certificate and key management, including internal PKI, mTLS between cloud and vehicle, and the secrets lifecycle and rotation.
• Own and evolve the C++ build, dependency-resolution, and packaging toolchain (Conan/CMake-based) used across every autonomy repository, including dependency solving, version constraints, and cross-context consistency.
• Design and maintain container image pipelines for development, simulation, and on-vehicle runtime images — including GPU toolchain upgrades (CUDA/TensorRT), multi-stage runtime builds, and cross-compilation to aarch64…
