What you’ll do
- Bring up new autonomous vehicle platforms in the garage, from first bench setup to a working fleet: flashing ECUs, integrating hardware and software.
- Debug hard system-level problems across lidar, radar, cameras, compute, vehicle networks, harnesses and power.
- Write the scripts, SOPs and build instructions that let technicians and manufacturing repeat each bring-up, then make every build faster.
- Build bench setups to test changes safely and decide how to roll them out to the fleet.
- Travel to test, customer and deployment sites.
What you’ll bring
- 2+ years in vehicle or systems integration at an L4 AV, advanced automotive or EV company running lidar, radar and cameras on its own fleet.
- Hands-on debugging of perception sensors on vehicles in a running fleet, not only on a bench or in simulation.
- Experience bringing up a vehicle platform from first build to a repeatable process.
- Hands-on with CAN, CAN FD and Automotive Ethernet, plus tools like CANalyzer/CANoe, Vehicle Spy and oscilloscopes.
- You want to be in the garage most days.
Nice to have
- Python or MATLAB on Linux to automate bring-up steps.
- Formula SAE or race car electronics experience.
- A degree in EE, ME, robotics or mechatronics.
