About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Vehicle Integration Engineer to own vehicle bring-up and sensor calibration across our autonomous platforms. In this role, you will take a vehicle from mechanically complete to first autonomous engagement, owning the sequence, calibration method, and acceptance criteria. You will build the calibration and test infrastructure to make bring-up a repeatable process for the production team.

Responsibilities

Own the vehicle bring-up sequence end to end: power-on, firmware and software load, device enumeration, systems validation, first autonomous engagement validation, and sign-off for fleet release.
Own intrinsic and extrinsic calibration across the full sensor suite (lidar, radar, camera, IMU, GNSS).
Build and maintain the physical calibration environment, define calibration standards, verification methods, and early detection of calibration drift.
Author, execute, and analyze test plans and procedures for fleet validation, reporting results for actionable insights.
Resolve ambiguous failures across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software boundaries, providing engineers with reproduction steps and evidence.
Specify, build, and maintain test hardware, tooling, benches, and harness breakouts.
Provide feedback to hardware design based on integration and calibration challenges.
Partner with engineering technicians as customers for build and bring-up execution.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
3+ years integrating, validating, and debugging electrical and electromechanical systems on prototype and production vehicles in autonomous vehicles, EVs, or at an automotive OEM or supplier.
Proven track record of technical ownership.
Deep hands-on expertise in vehicle E/E architecture: low-voltage power distribution and redundancy, wire harness and connector systems (low and high voltage), and associated failure modes.
Fluency with automotive networks and diagnostics (CAN, CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet, DTCs) and supporting tooling (Vector CANalyzer, Vehicle Spy, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
Experience integrating and debugging vehicle actuation interfaces (steering, braking, propulsion) or comparable motor-control and powertrain systems, including redundant, degraded, and fail-operational behavior.
Experience integrating compute into vehicles: carrier boards, high-speed differential signaling, power sequencing, and thermal management.
Proven ability to navigate highly ambiguous environments and self-direct technical problem-solving.
Ability to clearly communicate technical trade-offs to cross-functional partners.
Ability to work onsite five days a week in San Francisco.
Ability to travel to test and deployment sites.
Possession of a valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
