Design and build HIL benches, breakout hardware, and instrumentation that integrate compute, sensors, and actuators so software and autonomy teams can develop and regress against a safe, representative platform; define and execute vehicle-level validation, release checking, and regression criteria. Own triage and root-cause analysis across sensing, compute, networking, harnesses, connectors, and power, converting findings into design changes, containment actions, and documented corrective actions that measurably raise fleet reliability and uptime.
