Who we are Glydways is reimagining what public transit can be. We believe that mobility is the gateway to opportunity—connecting people to housing education employment commerce and care. By making transportation more accessible affordable and sustainable we empower communities to thrive and unlock economic and social prosperity. Our mission is to revolutionize transit with a solution that delivers high capacity exceptional user experiences unmatched affordability and minimal environmental impact. The Glydways system is a groundbreaking network of carbon-neutral interconnected transit pathways powered by standardized autonomous vehicles on dedicated roadways. Operating 24/7 with on-demand access it offers personalized and efficient mobility—without the burden of heavy upfront infrastructure costs or ongoing taxpayer subsidies. With Glydways we’re building more than a transportation system we’re creating a future where everyone everywhere has the freedom to move. Meet the team The XIL Platform team is the vital bridge between our software and the real-world environment. We are part of the Software Foundations & Architecture organization and our core mission is to build the Middleware Testing Simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) infrastructure for Glydways. We don't just write test scripts we build the overarching frameworks that allow those tests to run seamlessly across software simulation and physical hardware. We ensure that the software powering our autonomous transit systems is safe performant and reliable before a vehicle ever hits the track. Roles & Responsibilities As part of this role you’ll be responsible for Design and architect unified testing frameworks that enable seamless portability of test cases across Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and simulation environments. Build configure and maintain physical HIL benches and associated hardware interfaces (e.g. CAN adapters) to simulate real-world vehicle environments. Integrate automated HIL testing directly into the Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines ensuring code stability and preventing regressions prior to merging. Collaborate closely with software engineering teams to understand their needs identify and implement improvements in our Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Infrastructure and Continuous Integration (CI) systems. Monitor and report on runtime performance system health and reliability metrics across all HIL testing platforms. Knowledge Skills and Abilities Deep understanding of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and simulation testing strategies particularly for safety-critical systems. Proficiency in scripting and test automation languages (e.g. Python C++ and Bash) to build robust scalable testing frameworks. Strong knowledge of CI/CD best practices and principles. Direct experience with Buildkite is a plus. Hands-on ability to troubleshoot physical test benches including reading electrical schematics and using lab tools like oscilloscopes multimeters and PCAN adapters. Experience using infrastructure-as-code and environment management tools (specifically Nix or similar tools like Docker/Ansible) to ensure reproducible test environments.
