Senior QA & Release Engineer – Automotive (AAOS)

The project involves creating an Android Application for Offroad Navigation to be deployed on an Automotive IVI system, focusing on Android Automotive OS (AAOS).

• Strong understanding of Android Automotive OS (AAOS) build, integration, and testing frameworks
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and release management for Android-based platforms
• Experience in validation across emulator and physical hardware environments
• Experience testing navigation-centric IVI applications, including offline navigation and connectivity transition scenarios
• Strong analytical and debugging skills
• Experience working in Agile software development environments

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with OEM integration and Google certification processes for automotive software platforms
• Understanding of automotive software development processes and constraints (e.g., ASPICE)
• Experience with connected vehicle and navigation systems

• Define, maintain and execute the overall testing strategy based on an emulator-first approach, with hardware validation as a subsequent step
• Establish and maintain a clear separation between emulator-based and hardware-based testing activities, coordinating hardware-dependent validation with the customer
• Build, maintain, and evolve compliance checks, regression test suites, and automated validation pipelines
• Develop and manage the AAOS build and release pipeline, including application signing, build variants, OEM sideloading artifacts, and release packaging
• Ensure a fast feedback loop with the customer’s engineering team, enabling emulator-validated builds to be quickly verified on target hardware
• Prepare and support certification and release activities, including OEM validation processes, Google Play release preparation, and production readiness verification
• Own the release infrastructure and deployment governance, including environment configurations, feature flag management, rollback procedures, and release traceability

• No travel is expected
• Some overlap in working hours may be required due to 8-hour time difference with customer in Montana, USA
• Core working hours may occasionally extend until 18:00–19:00 CET
