• Work with schematics, diagrams, and written or verbal descriptions to complete assembly, fabrication, and integration tasks.
• Maintain and improve the reliability of current vehicle autonomy systems, including all electrical and mechanical aspects of our autonomous sensing and actuation platform, as well as the base vehicle itself.
• Collaborate with the Autonomy Engineering team to support all aspects of ground vehicle autonomy, including the calibration and integration of perception, planning, navigation, and control systems.
• Assist with workshop management by ensuring appropriate consumables are stocked, tools are operational, and the workspace is well maintained.
• Up to 50% travel may be required.

YOU HAVE

• Multiple years of experience integrating both mechanical and electrical systems.
• Familiarity with manufacturing, testing, or diagnostic equipment, including drill presses, miter saws, and digital voltmeters.
• Experience with power electronics, including servicing industrial batteries of varied chemistries and implementing DC-DC and DC-AC converters.
• Prior experience in developing and supporting all aspects of autonomy for a production ground vehicle subsystem or research prototype (end-to-end, full lifecycle development preferred).
• Proficiency with business tools such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides (Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint).
