• Strong written and verbal communication to collaborate across teams.

Responsibilities

• Triage electrical and hardware issues across compute, controls, networking, and sensor systems.
• Analyze fleet logs and hardware behavior to distinguish faults from software/config issues.
• Lead root cause investigations with structured troubleshooting plans for complex failures.
• Reproduce field issues in lab environments with test methods and fixtures.
• Use diagnostic tools to evaluate system performance and validate fixes.
• Collaborate with fleet support to track issues and implement containment actions.
• Coordinate with hardware design, systems, software, and validation teams on corrective actions.
• Validate proposed fixes at component, subsystem, and vehicle levels.
• Document investigation findings, test results, root causes, and recommended actions.
• Develop scripts and tools to automate testing and log analysis.
• Identify recurring failure patterns and propose improvements for reliability.
