## About the role

We are seeking a Staff Systems Integration Engineer to build and own the hardware-in-the-loop system benches that validate our autonomy stack off-vehicle. In this role, you will own the full system bench end to end, from initial architecture and physical build, through commissioning and automation, to daily use by our software and autonomy teams.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience with vehicle networks (CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet), including restbus simulation, network database authoring (DBC, LDF), and bus analysis tooling
- Experience developing real-time plant, actuator, sensor, and power models and deploying them to real-time target hardware, whether model-based or hand-written
- Proficiency in Python and a systems language (C, C++, or equivalent), with demonstrated experience building test automation frameworks and integrating them into continuous integration pipelines
- Working experience with a robotics middleware and its logging and replay tooling, such as ROS (node development, rosbag, visualization) or an equivalent
- Working knowledge of sensor and compute interfaces, including camera serialization (GMSL, FPD-Link), lidar and radar interfaces, and precision time synchronization (PTP/gPTP)
- Experience with fault injection and off-nominal testing, including forced faults, dropped frames, degraded sensor conditions, and loss-of-communication scenarios
