• Perform firmware development in C for security features or modules adjacent to security features such as connectivity, memory and firmware updates.
• Own firmware changes end-to-end and coach more junior developers in high quality code development.
• Write unit tests and perform integration and system-level testing in both real and simulated vehicles, to demonstrate that new features meet design requirements.
• Write SQL queries and Python scripts on data from Google BigQuery to determine device health and effectiveness of new functionality. 
• Conduct comprehensive testing and code reviews to ensure that industry coding standards are followed.
• Debug firmware issues and identify areas for code improvements.
• Keep up-to-date documentation for all areas of responsibility.

What you’ll bring to this role:
