About the role

You will define performance budgets and test strategies, ensure traceability, and work closely with Data Analytics, Test, and System Integration teams to verify datasets and scenarios. Ideal candidates have a strong software background (Python, SQL, C++) and 8+ years in safety-critical environments, with ISO/SOTIF/ISO26262 experience. This role is based in Santa Clara, CA.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
