Lead Dimensional Engineer - Autonomous Vehicle Sensors

Company: Comrise

Location: Foster City, CA (100% On-site)

Pay Rate: $105.67 / hour (Full-Time / W2 Contract through August 2026)

Are you a master of sub-millimeter precision ready to leave your mark on the future of transportation?

Comrise is partnering with a pioneering leader in autonomous ride-hailing to find a high-impact Lead Dimensional Engineer
. This isn't just an engineering job - it is a mission-critical leadership seat where you will serve as the ultimate dimensional authority across multiple next-generation autonomous vehicle (AV) platforms.

If you thrive on solving massive architectural challenges at the intersection of advanced sensor hardware (LiDAR, Radar, Cameras), vehicle architecture, and high-volume manufacturing,
this is the project your resume has been waiting for.

• Top-Tier Pay: Premium rate of $105.67/hr on a full-time contract running through August 17, 2026.
• Massive Scope & Authority: Concurrently lead and own the dimensional strategy across parallel vehicle programs - your decisions directly impact vehicle safety and software calibration.
• Cutting-Edge Tech Stack: Work hands-on with state-of-the-art sensor suites, 3
  
  DEXPERIENCE (3DX), CATIA V6, and advanced 3D variation modeling.
• High Visibility: Bridge the gap between executive leadership, hardware design, supplier quality, and manufacturing operations.
• Multi-Program Leadership: Own sensor integration dimensional strategy across parallel vehicle architectures, establishing functional requirements from individual parts to full vehicle builds.
• Datum & Sensor Calibration Strategy: Develop rock-solid datum schemes, sensor mounting locator strategies, and tolerance allocations that ensure perfect sensor-to-body and sensor-to-sensor co-calibration.
• Metrology & Fixture Authority: Design and enforce comprehensive measurement strategies; review and give final approval for internal and supplier metrology fixture concepts.
• Cross-Functional Design Influence: Deliver real-time architectural feedback to hardware and design teams to optimize body layouts and bracket designs for seamless assembly.
• Supplier Excellence: Partner with Supplier Quality (SQ) on PPAP activities, vendor capabilities, and engineering escalations to keep program deadlines strictly on target.

• Experience: 8-10 years dedicated to dimensional management, variation simulation, or metrology in Automotive, Aerospace, or Autonomous Robotics
  .
• AV Sensor Expertise: Deep understanding of the unique alignment, structural, and dimensional demands of LiDAR, Radar, and Camera suites.
• DVA & GD&T Mastery: Hands-on expert in 1D & 3D Dimensional Variation Analysis (DVA) stack-ups and advanced ASME Y14.5 GD&T principles.
• CAD & Software Tools: Fluent in CATIA V6 and 3
  
  DEXPERIENCE (3DX) for model interrogation, reference geometry, and functional datum mapping.
• Statistical Rigor: Solid foundation in Statistical Process Control (SPC), variation simulation, $C_p / C_{pk}$, and Gauge R&R studies.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Fixture Design Engineering (or related technical field).
• Workplace: On-site in Foster City, CA
  .
• Hours: Full-time (30+ hours/week guarantee).
• Interview Process: Fast-tracked! 30-minute Manager Zoom -> 1.5-hour Panel Interview (includes an on-site component).
