Full Job Description
What You'll Do
  • Lead on-truck bring-up and integration of embedded compute platforms, sensors, networking, and vehicle interfaces, from first power-on through validated, deployable configurations.
  • Own integration of platform, embedded, and autonomy software releases onto target hardware, defining acceptance criteria and making the call on integration readiness.
  • Drive root-cause investigations that span hardware, firmware, OS, middleware, and application software, and see them through to durable fixes.
  • Design and evolve Hardware-in-the-Loop, Software-in-the-Loop, and on-vehicle validation environments so they faithfully represent production trucks and catch issues before the field.
  • Architect automation frameworks, diagnostic tooling, and integration processes that other engineers adopt, and define system-level test strategies for new platform variants.
  • Represent integration in cross-functional design reviews, using lab and field evidence to influence hardware and software architecture decisions and to surface systemic risks.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, and author the bring-up procedures, troubleshooting guides, and reference documentation that become the team's standard.


What You'll Need to Succeed
  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field; Master's preferred.
  • 5+ years of experience integrating hardware and software systems, with demonstrated ownership of complex, multi-disciplinary integration efforts.
  • Hands-on experience bringing up embedded Linux compute platforms, including boot flow, kernel and driver configuration, BSP customization, and system-level debugging.
  • Strong Python and C++ (or comparable) skills, with experience building tools and automation used by other engineers.
  • Experience designing or maintaining Hardware-in-the-Loop, Software-in-the-Loop, or equivalent validation environments, and working with CI/CD and automated test frameworks.
  • Working knowledge of vehicle and robotics communication stacks such as Ethernet, CAN, PTP, DDS, and ROS 2, including deployment on embedded targets.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-domain root-cause investigations using logs, telemetry, bus captures, and lab instrumentation.
  • Strong written and verbal communication, experience mentoring or leading technical work without direct authority, and comfort working in vehicles and lab environments with occasional travel to test sites.


Bonus Points
  • Experience integrating autonomous vehicle, ADAS, or robotics platforms in a production or pre-production setting, especially trucking or heavy-duty vehicles.
  • Familiarity with functional safety or safety-critical development practices (ISO 26262, SOTIF, or equivalent).
  • Experience with automotive Ethernet, SOME/IP, or time-sensitive networking.
  • Experience with NVIDIA DRIVE or similar SoC/GPU platforms, or with Yocto, Buildroot, or custom Linux distributions.
  • Experience with sensor integration and calibration, fleet telemetry, remote diagnostics, or over-the-air update systems.
