About the Role

We are hiring a mid-level Engineering Technician to add hands-on build capacity to the Vehicle Integration team. This person will build and retrofit development vehicles, install compute and sensor hardware, make prototype harnesses, and perform first-pass bring-up and debug. The role requires someone who can take loose direction, plan work, ask good questions, and document their builds without step-by-step instructions. The ideal candidate is fully hands-on, owns individual builds from start to sign-off within about 3 months, and is growing toward a Senior role.

Responsibilities

Build, retrofit, and prepare development vehicles from a bare platform through installation, functional checks, and sign-off, often from incomplete or evolving instructions.
Install and integrate custom compute units, sensors, low-voltage power, and vehicle interfaces, following direction on routing, mounting, grounding, and serviceability.
Build prototype wire harnesses from drawings, and check terminations, pinouts, and continuity before installation.
Run hardware and software bring-up on new builds: flash firmware, set up compute, and check that sensors and data are working.
Diagnose and troubleshoot problems across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software using logs, CAN tools, and test equipment, escalating with clear findings when needed.
Keep accurate as-built records and redlines, and help write and improve work instructions and checklists.
Get vehicles ready for testing and scheduled service, support field operations when needed, and provide engineers feedback on problems and serviceability improvements.
Help keep the SF shop safe, clean, and organized, where development and production parts are assembled.

Requirements

3+ years of hands-on experience in vehicle integration, automotive or EV service, electromechanical assembly, prototype build, or fabrication.
Comfort working on first-of-its-kind builds with little or no documentation, and the drive to figure things out from first principles.
Experience building and repairing wire harnesses, including crimping, soldering, connector work, and continuity testing.
Ability to read wiring diagrams, schematics, mechanical drawings, and BOMs, and to flag when something doesn’t match reality.
Working knowledge of low-voltage power distribution, fusing, grounding, and CAN bus.
Methodical troubleshooting across hardware and software, plus comfort with Linux, the command line, and reading logs during bring-up.
Skill with hand and automotive tools, multimeters, and soldering irons.
Clear written and verbal communication.
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.
Support occasional field testing and after-hours work.
