Senior Vehicle Systems Engineer

What you'll do

• Validate physical sensor placement on test and donor vehicles to confirm field of view and identify interferences.
• Execute on-vehicle data collection in parking lots, on closed courses, and on public roads.
• Identify and mitigate physical and mechanical integration issues like occlusion and keep-out zone violations.
• Lead and support sensor-specific testing for optical and radar systems.
• Debug and evaluate communication, timing, diagnostics, and software-related issues on development and production systems.
• Collaborate with embedded, sensor, and perception teams to root cause hardware and software problems.
• Document all findings and test results in a comprehensive and complete manner.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience in sensor integration, embedded software testing, sensor validation, or hardware test engineering.
• Hands-on experience testing sensors (camera, lidar, radar, or acoustic) onto vehicles or complex hardware platforms.
• Working knowledge of camera, lidars, radars, and concepts like field-of-view, keep-out zones, and mounting tolerances.
• Ability to plan and execute on-vehicle data collection across parking lots, closed courses, and public roads.
• Strong computer skills and understanding of networking and automotive communication buses.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills.
• Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, asylee, or refugee) and subject to export control restrictions.
• Experience working on L4 autonomous vehicle programs (preferred).
• Experience working in the automotive sector (preferred).
• Familiarity with autonomous vehicle sensor suites and AV-specific integration constraints (preferred).
• Experience standing up test infrastructure or tooling from scratch (preferred).
• Ability to program and develop tooling, dashboards, or data analytics (preferred).
