Position Overview:We're seeking a hands-on, technically versatile Application Integration Engineer to join our growing team. This is a full-time, on-site role ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of prototyping, deployment, and field testing. You'll own key systems that bridge development and real-world performance.
This role is an elevated pathway for high-performing technical staff with proven aptitude in mechatronics, system configuration, and cross-functional problem solving.
Key Responsibilities:- Own and maintain ATI's vehicle configuration library, ensuring reliable system operation across a wide range of vehicle make/models/trim.
- Validate and improve configuration performance, incorporating version control and scalable update methods.
- Define and advocate for new features in tools and software to support scalability and fleet consistency.
- Document and lead troubleshooting procedures across robotic subsystems.
- Design and fabricate custom tools, fixtures, and hardware to improve safety, repeatability, and efficiency.
- Assist with mechanical prototyping using 3D printing, welding, machining, and COTS part selection.
- Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to resolve system interface and performance issues.
- Lead assembly of robotic systems end-to-end:
- Log engineering change orders (ECOs), document redlines, and suggest DFM/DFA improvements.
- Apply best practices in system build, cable management, harnessing, and enclosure design.
- Assemble and wire control panels, sensor arrays, and motion subassemblies.
- Support the commission and go-live of deployed robot(s) at customer sites.
- Conduct field diagnostics and data collection to drive iterative improvements:
- Identify critical spare parts, consumables, and recurring failure modes.
- Support on-site pilot tests, customer demos, and system deployment.
- Train and mentor technicians on build procedures, equipment operation, and safety standards.
Requirements- 8+ years hands-on experience configuring electro-mechanical systems in a real-world setting.
- Skilled in electrical wiring, mechanical assembly, and root cause troubleshooting.
- Experience using CAD tools (preferably Onshape or SolidWorks) for design and documentation.
- Competence in Linux working environment: familiar with command-line utilities.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally.
- Demonstrated initiative, resourcefulness, and positive mindset.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience in automotive tire change and wheel balancing.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in a STEM discipline (Engineering Technology, IT, Mechatronics, etc.) or equivalent technical experience
- Experience in manufacturing, automation, or hardware startups
- Veteran or prior service experience, especially with mechanical or vehicle systems
- Proficiency in creating test scripts, documenting procedures, and training others
- Familiarity with motion systems, sensors, and robotic subsystems.
