What this job asks for AI summary
A mid-to-senior embedded software engineering role focused on testing infrastructure for automotive ADAS hardware. The work centers on designing and building hardware-in-the-loop test harnesses, maintaining CI pipelines, and developing test frameworks that exercise low-level platform components such as boot chains, real-time and high-level operating systems, and embedded networking. The role suits engineers with hands-on C++ and Python experience on Linux-based embedded systems.

Why we read it this way (5)
The role sits at the boundary between QA/test engineering (15-1253) and software development (15-1252): it involves building test frameworks, CI pipelines, and test tooling from scratch, which is substantial software development work. 15-1253 was chosen because the primary stated mission is design verification, hardware-in-the-loop qualification, and test framework development — but 15-1252 is a genuine runner-up.
The degree requirement accepts a Bachelor's + 4 years, a Master's + 2 years, or a PhD with no stated minimum experience — equivalent experience is not explicitly offered as a substitute for the degree, but the multi-path structure effectively makes the degree non-binding as a single hard gate; the degree requirement is set to None accordingly.
The salary range ($179,200–$268,800/year) is stated specifically for California; the posting also lists Pittsburgh and Dearborn as office locations. Actual pay for non-California locations may differ.
Python tooling (linters, formatters, packaging), microcontroller interfaces (CAN, I2C, UART), networking/VLANs, and PCIe are all listed under the 'Nice to have' section and are marked as preferred.
Visa sponsorship is available; candidates must be authorized to work in the US permanently (sponsorship offered).
