Insights from the team
Team Altitude works with complete feature testing for Cruise within ADAS, ensuring that features behave as expected in real vehicles. The team combines hands-on vehicle testing with system understanding to validate functionality in real-world scenarios.
The team consists of a mix of roles, where some focus on simulation while others focus on vehicle testing. This role belongs to the vehicle testing group, working closely with both development teams and other ARTs.
Collaboration is a key part of how the team operates. You work closely together, often from the office, solving problems that span multiple systems and teams. The culture is open, supportive, and focused on finding solutions rather than assigning ownership.
You will interact with stakeholders across the organization, including product leads and partners, ensuring that insights from testing are understood and translated into action.
Your mission and day-to-day tasks
In this role, you connect system design with real-world behavior. You make sure that Cruise performs as expected, technically correct, stable, and comfortable for the driver.
You work hands-on with vehicles while also taking a coordinating role across teams. You help identify issues, clarify ownership, and drive alignment on how problems are solved.
The role is broad and gives you the opportunity to define what matters most. You focus on high-level product behavior, while still diving deep into logs and data when needed. Your work is critical for ensuring that features reach production with the right quality.
Typical day-to-day work includes:
Plan and execute vehicle testing on public roads and test tracks
Verify feature behavior, comfort, and requirement fulfillment in real scenarios
Select vehicle baselines and coordinate software under test across teams
Lead cross-ART discussions to align on issues, ownership, and next steps
Analyze logs and system behavior to identify root causes
Write and prioritize fault reports and support first-level analysis
Collaborate with product leads and development teams to drive resolution
Contribute to test methods, KPIs, and verification strategies
Qualifications & experience
You enjoy working close to the product, where you can see the direct impact of your work. You are curious and take initiative, and you are comfortable navigating complex systems with many stakeholders.
You have a strong analytical mindset but keep the bigger picture in mind, understanding how different parts come together in the final product experience. You communicate clearly and collaborate naturally with others to move work forward.
You are motivated by roles where you can take ownership, define problems, and contribute to solutions that matter for the overall delivery.
