  • Implement automated build, test, packaging, artifact, deployment, and release workflows for extensions and platform components.
  • Partner with rendering, digital twin, robotics, scenario framework, infrastructure, and QA teams to deliver integrated simulation capabilities.
  • Improve platform reliability, scalability, performance, security, observability, and maintainability.
  • Troubleshoot complex issues across USD composition, assets, extensions, networking, GPU environments, and platform services.
  • Document architecture, deployment patterns, development standards, interfaces, and support procedures.
