Autonomy Systems & Release Engineer; AV Engineering

Requirements

• Demonstrated leadership and ownership in technically complex, cross‑functional environments
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence teams across engineering, product, and validation organisations
• Strong understanding of robotics, autonomous systems, and/or machine learning based products
• Systems‑thinking mindset with the proven ability to investigate complex system level issues and evaluate feature impact beyond isolated component performance
• Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to make decisions under ambiguity and incomplete data
• Ability to design and assess evaluation strategies that provide meaningful, high-signal insights into system behaviour
• Hands‑on technical mindset with the ability to work directly with product behaviour, data, and debugging workflows
• Experience using data‑driven approaches to support technical decision‑making and prioritisation
• (Desirable) Experience translating product goals and requirements into clear engineering deliverables and measurable outcomes
• (Desirable) Experience with release management, integration workflows, or large‑scale software deployment pipelines
• (Desirable) Familiarity with simulation, offline evaluation, and correlation of off‑road testing to real‑world performance
• (Desirable) Familiarity with modern ML development and evaluation workflows
• (Desirable) Experience prototyping tools, analyses, or lightweight evaluation frameworks to accelerate iteration speed
• (Desirable) Experience identifying process inefficiencies and driving automation or tooling improvements

• This is not your average Release Engineering role
• You will be working hands on with the development teams to help deliver fast and traceable iterations on the product before forwarding releases for formal validation
• Your broad knowledge of robotics and ML will aid you in identifying issues and guiding measurement techniques to get impactful insights across the stack
• You will be the core decision maker before the formal validation and as such you must have strong leadership and communication skills with the ability to take product requirements and break them down into engineering deliverables
• As the key decision maker, you will lead a release group to ensure that the driving model baseline is delivered in a stable and predictable manner
• You will constantly evolve the internal release process to meet product needs
• You will work with feature teams to ensure they have a strong evaluation strategy that considers full aspects of the current system
• You will identify areas where efficiencies can be made in the process and design solutions to continuously reduce the iteration cycle time
• You will work closely with the product teams to ensure iterations are moving closer to the goal and ensure that metric development addresses these gaps
• You will be expected to have hands‑on experience with the product with the goal to turn your knowledge and experience of robotic systems into data driven decisions
