About the job

With the latest advances in AI, verification and feedback loops are becoming the clock speed of software development. We are looking for someone who wants to build AI speed infrastructure for Tegra: a ridiculously fast build, test, and validation system for the future, aimed at supporting developers and swarms of agents where turn times will be measured in seconds. We are looking for someone passionate about building the build, test, and validation platform for our Tegra driver developers: someone who can design workflows, build the CI control plane, and dramatically improve development speed and signal quality across large, safety-critical C/C++ codebases. The right person will treat build graphs, test selection, cacheability, hermeticity, hardware scheduling, policy, and developer experience as first-class product surfaces, turning them into workflows teams actually want to use and integrating AI agents into the control plane to enable self-healing and further optimizations.

Responsibilities

Build AI-native, self-healing CI workflows for large Tegra C/C++ codebases

Design fast build, test, and validation paths that keep developers and agents in tight loops

Integrate reasoning agents that can triage failures, recommend fixes, and safely automate routine recovery

Improve incremental builds, caching, remote execution, and test selection

Integrate simulation, emulation, and device-backed testing into trustworthy CI

Build machine-readable outputs, policies, and recovery paths that agents can safely use at scale

Package workflows and platform capabilities so other teams can reuse them

Drive adoption with metrics, docs, and hands-on enablement

Qualifications

Minimum

BS/MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience

8+ years of relevant industry experience

Strong systems / build architecture for C/C++ codebases

Real daily use of AI coding tools and agent workflows

Deep experience with build systems, CI orchestration, and test strategy

Python / scripting for workflow automation, tooling, and agents

Ability to reason about safety-critical or high-assurance validation flows

Preferred

Built or scaled CI/build systems for large mono-repos or embedded platforms

Improved feedback loops with measurable gains in build/test latency or signal quality

Built speed infrastructure for AI coding agents, autonomous validation, or high-throughput CI users

Worked on hardware/device-lab testing, remote execution, or change-based test selection

Shipped internal AI-assisted developer workflows used by other engineers
