Vehicle Integration Engineer (Mechatronics)

We’re looking for a talented mechatronics and robotics engineer with a sharp eye for functional reliability to own all mechanical and electrical aspects of our autonomous vehicle demonstrator platform.In this role, you will be responsible for building vehicle sensing and actuation hardware capabilities in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment. Not afraid of scrappiness in this versatile role, your job scope will involve owning all parts of the development lifecycle from desktop engineering design and simulation to hands-on automotive integration and root-cause analysis. You will own and lead the safety-critical design, implementation, and reliability engineering of our ground vehicle hardware platform to automate cargo and baggage movement at some of the busiest airports around the world.The opportunity offers a technical, hands-on engineer the chance to help develop a market-defining enterprise product that combines autonomous vehicle technology with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model.This role will work directly with our co-founders.

What You’ll DoMaintain 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 itselfDefine, lead, and own the hands-on creation of new vehicle platform integrations to expand the compatibility of our autonomy systems with a broad range of airport vehicles, interacting with suppliers and vendors as appropriateDesign, test, and track the safety-critical functionality of our autonomous vehicle through simulations and real-world test runs, including executing a multi-stage pilot project in contexts that include baggage halls, vehicle corridors and the airport apronWork with the autonomy engineering team at large to support all aspects of ground vehicle autonomy, including calibration and integration of perception, planning, navigation, and control systemsUnderstand and keep up to date with automotive and robotics safety standards Up to 50% travel may be required
