Job summary

Atoms is seeking a Senior Systems Integration and Test Engineer to own how new vehicle platforms enter our fleet. You’ll bring new platform variants from first article to fleet release, defining validation criteria and creating procedures so future builds are routine.

You will work across platforms with varying hardware, compute, and software, spending time in the garage and around vehicles to ensure robust integration and testing processes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• 6+ years in systems integration, diagnostics, or hardware/software interface engineering on vehicles.
• L4 program or production ADAS experience.
• Proven track record diagnosing failures spanning hardware and software with root-cause examples.
• Ability to correlate hardware symptoms and video evidence with telemetry and bus data into a timeline.
• Sensor-level troubleshooting depth on cameras, lidar, radar, GNSS and IMU, including timing failure modes.
• Strong knowledge of vehicle networks and diagnostics: CAN, CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet, and DTCs.
• Python and command line log analysis for building production tools.
• Automated triage or anomaly detection on fleet data.
• Experience with monitoring/observability platforms and fleet-scale log management.
• Experience with cloud storage and databases for telemetry: object storage, SQL, time series or NoSQL stores.
• Experience with data collection/logging fleets, diagnosing data path problems at volume.
• Ability to work onsite five days a week in San Francisco, with periodic travel to test sites.

Responsibilities

• Platform introduction: own first integration and bring-up for new platform variants, sensor generations, and power/ network architecture changes.
• First article to repeatable: turn one-off builds into commissioning procedures for firmware, calibration, sign-offs, and autonomy software integration.
• Validation criteria: define and run vehicle-level checks for new platforms before release.
• Bench to vehicle correlation: document the relationship between bench results and vehicle behavior for each platform.
• Calibration, timing, and data integrity: multimodal calibration, time synchronization, and data integrity.
• System debugging: lead cross-domain debugging until root cause is established.
• Documentation and standards: write integration guides and go/no-go criteria for teams and suppliers.
