Senior System Integration Engineer

Brahma Consulting Group; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Brahma Consulting Group is hiring a Senior Systems Integration Engineer (Hardware-in-the-Loop) in San Francisco. You will design and own HIL benches that validate the autonomy stack off-vehicle, ensuring changes are proven on reliable production-grade benches.

You will work hands-on with lidar, radar, and cameras, build end-to-end benches, and drive CI/CD, tool automation, and documentation to enable multiple teams to self-serve.

Qualifications

• 4–6 years as a systems integration, HIL or test systems engineer at an autonomous vehicle or robotics company.
• Hands‑on experience building and debugging HIL / test benches.
• Direct experience with lidar, radar and camera sensors.
• Vehicle networks: CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet, restbus simulation, DBC/LDF.
• Python and C/C++; ROS / rosbag; CI/CD.
• Electrical engineering background preferred.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and commission HIL test racks from architecture to bench.
• Own benches end-to-end and maintain CI/CD stability.
• Simulate vehicle systems and replay sensor data for repeatable bench tests.
• Lead root-cause debugging of system‑level failures across sensors and compute and implement design fixes.
• Continuously improve bench tooling and automation and write clear documentation for self‑serve teams.

Job description

We're hiring a Senior Systems Integration Engineer (Hardware-in-the-Loop) for a fast-growing autonomous vehicle and Physical AI company in San Francisco that deploys real autonomous systems in live production environments.

In this role you'll build and own the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test benches that validate the autonomy stack off-vehicle, so every software change is proven on a reliable, production-grade bench before it reaches the fleet. This is a hands‑on, lab‑first role for an engineer who has built and debugged test benches for AV or robotics systems and has worked directly with lidar, radar and cameras.

What you'll do

• Design, build and commission HIL test racks bringing together compute, vehicle interfaces, harnesses, wiring and sensors, from first architecture to a finished, documented bench
• Own the benches end to end and keep them stable inside CI/CD; bench uptime is your key metric
• Simulate vehicle systems not on the bench (CAN, CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet traffic, power and drive‑by‑wire states) and replay recorded sensor data so on‑road events become repeatable bench tests
• Lead root‑cause debugging of system‑level failures across lidar, radar, cameras, sensor timing, harnessing and compute, and turn findings into design fixes
• Continuously improve bench tooling and automation, and write clear documentation so autonomy, embedded and vehicle teams can self‑serve

What we’re looking for

• 4–6 years as a systems integration, HIL or test systems engineer at an autonomous vehicle or robotics company
• Hands‑on experience building and debugging HIL / test benches
• Direct experience with lidar, radar and camera sensors
• Vehicle networks: CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet, restbus simulation, DBC/LDF
• Python and C/C++; ROS / rosbag; CI/CD
• Electrical engineering background preferred

Nice to have

• Wire harness design, schematic capture, fault injection
