Job description

Join our Vehicle System Integration team as a Senior/Staff System Integration and Test Engineer. You will ensure seamless integration and robust performance across the Body Control, Braking, Steering, Thermal, & Power Distribution domains.

We don’t just validate; our team's mission is to push the boundaries of system integration testing earlier in the development cycle. We drive an iterative, end-to-end integration process to stay ahead of the curve.

Your expertise in automotive development and hands-on testing is critical. You will play a key role in delivering a world-class Robotaxi service. Together, we turn complex electrical architectures into a safe and reliable reality for our riders.

In this role, you will:

  • Develop and evolve integration test plans across system bench and vehicle assets to ensure robust system functionality as the platform matures
  • Partner with Systems, Hardware and Firmware Engineering teams to identify integration risks early through testing and build robust mitigation strategies to keep the program on track.
  • Lead forums to resolve complex system issues and report on robustness, risks and mitigation plans during program reviews.
  • Mentor the integration and test team in applying data-driven testing and integration methodologies across all vehicle systems.
  • Lead the development and commissioning of system test benches, using rapid prototype tool (e.g., dSpace micro-autobox) to supplement target ECU to overcome challenges with timing and maturity of components

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline
  • At least 10 years of experience in Vehicle System Development and Integration, with a deep experience in one of the following domains: Body Control, Braking, Steering, Thermal, or Power Distribution

  • Extensive hands-on experience conducting bench and vehicle-level testing, including instrumentation and advanced data analysis to ensure function robustness
  • Expertise developing integration test plans based on SFMEA Analysis and well-versed in technical problem solving methodologies like Six Sigma, 8D, Shainin Red X etc. 
  • Bonus Qualifications:

  • Experience with Automotive Calibration Development at Vehicle Level
  • Experience with Controls Development using xIL and Rapid Controls Prototyping 
  • Experience with development and integration of vehicle program from prototype to launch
  • Experience with ISO 21448 (SOTIF) or ISO26262 (Automotive functional safety)
  •
