Job Description

We’re looking for a Vehicle Integration Technician with high work standards, attention to detail, and strong hands-on skills to integrate components on our autonomous driving platform.

This opportunity allows a technically proficient individual to help build a market-defining product that combines autonomous vehicle technology with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model.

This role will work directly with all current members of the Hardware team.

What You'll Do

  • Assemble cable harnesses, fabricate mounts, integrate off-the-shelf (OTS) components, and perform tests on integrated systems.

  • Work with schematics, diagrams, and written or verbal descriptions to complete assembly, fabrication, and integration tasks.

  • Maintain and improve the reliability of current vehicle autonomy systems, including all electrical and mechanical aspects of our autonomous sensing and actuation platform, as well as the base vehicle itself.

  • Collaborate with the Autonomy Engineering team to support all aspects of ground vehicle autonomy, including the calibration and integration of perception, planning, navigation, and control systems.

  • Assist with workshop management by ensuring appropriate consumables are stocked, tools are operational, and the workspace is well maintained.

  • Up to 50% travel may be required.

Qualifications

  • Multiple years of experience integrating both mechanical and electrical systems.

  • Familiarity with manufacturing, testing, or diagnostic equipment, including drill presses, miter saws, and digital voltmeters.

  • Experience with power electronics, including servicing industrial batteries of varied chemistries and implementing DC-DC and DC-AC converters.

  • Prior experience in developing and supporting all aspects of autonomy for a production ground vehicle subsystem or research prototype (end-to-end, full lifecycle development preferred).

  • Proficiency with business tools such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides (Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint).
