Senior Systems Integration & Test Engineer

Cyngn, Inc. Mountain View, California, United States

Based in Mountain View, CA, Cyngn is a publicly-traded autonomous technology company. We deploy self-driving industrial vehicles
- specifically autonomous tuggers - to factories, warehouses, and other facilities throughout North America. To build this emergent technology, we are looking for innovative, motivated, and experienced leaders to join us and move this field forward. If you like to build, tinker, and create with a team of trusted and passionate colleagues, then Cyngn is the place for you.

We are small and big.

With under 100 employees, Cyngn operates with the energy of a startup. On the other hand, we’re publicly traded. This means our employees not only work in close-knit teams with mentorship from company leaders—they also get access to the liquidity of our publicly‑traded equity.

We build today and deploy tomorrow.

Our autonomous vehicles aren’t just test concepts—they’re deployed to real clients right now. That means your work will have a tangible, visible impact.

We aren’t robots. We just develop them.

We’re a welcoming, diverse team of sharp thinkers and kind humans. Collaboration and trust drive our creative environment. At Cyngn, everyone’s perspective matters—and that’s what powers our innovation.

• We are moving from one autonomous vehicle program to a family of them, and every one of those vehicles has to be proven safe, reliable and manufacturable before a customer drives it. Today our systems engineer writes the requirements and verification plans; nobody yet owns turning those into instrumented campaigns, reliability programs, regulatory evidence and acceptance tests, and then carrying that process to a contract manufacturer.
  
  That is this job. You will be the first dedicated test owner on the team, you will set up how we test, and you will grow the function as the product line grows.

• Turn vehicle requirements and V&V plans into test strategy, procedures and instrumented campaigns across EVT, DVT and PVT: drive and steer performance, brake and grade, duty cycle and thermal, environmental, ingress, vibration and HALT.
• Stand up the reliability program for a new vehicle: duty-cycle profiles, accelerated-life and HALT planning, failure tracking and corrective action, and the evidence that lets a program lock a design.
• Instrument prototype vehicles — CAN and sensor logging, data acquisition, power and thermal measurement — and turn the data into clear pass/fail and root‑cause reports.

• Derive safety test cases from the hazard analysis and verify every safety function on the vehicle: emergency‑stop chains, safety‑rated laser scanner fields and speed zones, deadman and pendant link‑loss behavior, fault injection and recovery.
• Lead the regulatory test program for powered industrial trucks and their automation: UL 583 / UL 3100, ANSI/ITSDF B56.5, ISO 3691-4, ISO 13849 / IEC 61508 evidence with our functional‑safety advisor, and EMC / electrical‑safety pre‑compliance with external labs.
• Be the technical owner in front of test labs and certifiers: plan the submissions, prepare the units and the documentation, and close findings.

• Design and build the fixtures and rigs the team runs every day: end‑of‑line functional tester, safety‑function tester, harness continuity / hipot fixture, bench and hardware‑in‑the‑loop regression with firmware, test‑track procedures.
• Automate what repeats — logging, analysis, regression, reporting — so that testing gets faster every phase (Python, CAN tooling,…
