About the Role
We are hiring a Director of Vehicle Integration to lead the group responsible for developing and testing our vehicle platforms. This group owns the hardware-in-the-loop and bench capability for validating autonomy software, and the processes for vehicle bring-up and commissioning. They also serve as the engineering backstop for field issues. The role emphasizes modularity and a player-coach approach, leading senior engineers and technicians while actively participating in the work.
Responsibilities
- Own off-vehicle validation, including hardware-in-the-loop and bench capabilities that validate software releases against real vehicle interfaces.
- Build modular systems for validation, allowing reuse of components across different vehicle configurations.
- Own the integration architecture for the development fleet, covering electrical systems, harnesses, component placement, power, and drive-by-wire interfaces.
- Manage fault handling and degraded-mode behavior for vehicle integration.
- Own on-vehicle bring-up and commissioning processes, including build instructions, drawings, calibration procedures, and production scripts.
- Ensure commissioning is a critical gate in the vehicle build process.
- Manage cross-functional interfaces with robotics, vehicle operations, hardware engineering, manufacturing, and OEM/supplier partners.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
- 10+ years of relevant experience, including 5+ years leading engineers.
- Demonstrated ownership of vehicle integration from architecture through fleet deployment.
- Personal accountability for system installation, validation, and road support.
- Hands-on experience with vehicle networks (CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet).
- Hands-on experience with drive-by-wire and actuation integration.
- Hands-on experience with electrical and harness architecture.
- Hands-on experience with embedded compute and sensor integration.
- Hands-on experience with hardware-in-the-loop and bench validation.
- Experience converting bespoke, per-vehicle bring-up engineering into a repeatable process.
- Experience on an L3 or L4 automated driving program, or a production ADAS program at L2+.
- Ability to work onsite five days a week in San Francisco.
- Ability to travel to test and deployment sites.
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.
- Ability to work at roof level and under vehicles.
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
