Senior Systems Integration and Test Engineer, Platform Introduction

About the Position

We are seeking a Senior Systems Integration and Test Engineer to lead the introduction of new vehicle platforms into our fleet. In this role, you will be responsible for the integration sequence, validation criteria, and the documented correlation between bench results and vehicle behavior. You will transform initial builds into repeatable procedures, ensuring the next set of vehicles are integrated smoothly. This role involves working with multiple vehicle platforms and requires regular time in the garage and around vehicles.

Responsibilities

• Platform Introduction: Own the first integration and bring-up for new platform variants, sensor generation, compute generation, and power or network architecture changes.
• First Article to Repeatable: Develop commissioning procedures covering firmware, calibration, sign-offs, and autonomy software integration.
• Validation Criteria: Define and run the vehicle-level checks a new platform must pass before release.
• Bench to Vehicle Correlation: Document the relationship between bench results and vehicle behavior for each platform.
• Calibration, Timing, and Data Integrity: Ensure multimodal calibration, time synchronization, and the integrity of the sensor to compute path on new platforms.
• System Debugging: Lead debugging on failures that cross mechanical, electrical, firmware, network, and autonomy boundaries.
• Documentation and Standards: Write integration guides, troubleshooting trees, and go or no-go criteria, and enforce conventions for labeling, documentation, and configuration control.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• 6+ years in systems integration, diagnostics, or hardware and software interface engineering on vehicles.
• L4 program or production ADAS experience.
• Proven track record of diagnosing failures that spanned hardware and software.
• Ability to correlate hardware symptoms and video evidence with telemetry and bus data.
• Sensor-level troubleshooting depth on cameras, lidar, radar, GNSS, and IMU.
• Strong working knowledge of vehicle networks and diagnostics, including CAN, CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet, and DTCs.
• Proficiency in Python and command line log analysis.
• Experience with automated triage or anomaly detection over fleet data.
• Experience with monitoring and observability platforms and log management at fleet scale.
• Working experience with cloud storage and databases for telemetry.
• Experience with a data collection or logging fleet, particularly diagnosing data path problems at volume.
• Ability to work onsite five days a week in San Francisco, with periodic travel to test sites.

We Offer

• Competitive base salary range: $182,000 - $238,000 per year.
• Comprehensive benefits package including Medical, Dental, Vision, Disability, and Life Insurance.
• Flexible Spending Account / Health Savings Account Options.
• 401(k) plan.
• Equity awards.
• Sick Time, Unlimited Flexible Time Off, and Paid Holidays.
