  • Identify, document, and triage defects in collaboration with engineering and map operations teams
  • Create release notes and communicate testing outcomes to cross-functional stakeholders
  • Partner with engineering, product, and map operations teams to review and prioritize feature enhancements and bug fixes

 

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years of Software QA experience testing UI-based applications
  • 2+ years of experience in mapping, geospatial systems, or related domain
  • Experience working in HD Maps, ADAS mapping, autonomous vehicles, robotics, or automotive systems strongly preferred
  • Strong proficiency in Python
  • Hands-on experience building or maintaining web UI test automation frameworks
  • Solid understanding of SDLC and Agile methodologies
  • Experience working in fast-paced release environments (weekly or frequent releases)
  • Familiarity with geospatial data concepts (lane-level mapping, topology, map attributes, coordinate systems)
  • Experience with geospatial data formats (GeoJSON, Shapefiles, OpenDRIVE, etc.) is a plus
  • GIS background is a plus
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally
  • Self-starter who can operate with minimal supervision

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
