Cloud architecture experience across AWS, Azure, or GCP.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

Master's degree in software engineering or equivalent experience
15+ years of experience in software development .
Experience in automotive, aerospace, defense, industrial, or another embedded, real-time, regulated, or safety-critical environment.
Knowledge of functional safety, ISO 26262, cybersecurity engineering, ASPICE, MISRA, AUTOSAR, or related engineering practices.
Experience with vehicle-level integration and validation, including SIL, CoSIM, vECU, HIL, benches, physical systems, or other virtual and hardware-based environments.
A record of creating enterprise standards, platform strategies, technical communities, developer self-service, reliability objectives, or measurable productivity improvements.
Advanced degree in a related technical field.
