Lead Dimensional Engineer-Autonomous Vehicle Sensors; Multi-Platform

Lead Dimensional Engineer

Comrise is looking for a powerhouse Lead Dimensional Engineer to own dimensional management and sensor integration across multiple cutting-edge autonomous vehicle platforms. This is a high-visibility, mission-critical role where you will bridge the gap between advanced sensor hardware, vehicle architecture, and high-precision manufacturing. If you are a master of dimensional variation who wants to directly shape the deployment of safe, next-generation autonomous fleets, this is the ultimate opportunity for your career!

• Elite Compensation: $105.67 USD Per Hour (Strict W2 Contract)
• Cutting-Edge Tech:
  Drive sub-millimeter precision for next-gen LiDAR, Radar, and Camera suites on multi-platform architectures.
• Ultimate Authority:
  Concurrently own dimensional strategy across parallel vehicle programs--making high-impact architectural decisions.
• Prime Bay Area
  
  Location:
  
  Work fully in-person at a state-of-the-art facility in Foster City, CA.

• Multi-Program Architectural Leadership:
  Serve as the primary dimensional authority for sensor integration across parallel vehicle platforms, managing massive architectural workloads concurrently.
• Datum and Tolerance Strategy:
  Define vehicle build requirements, establish robust datum schemes, sensor mounting locator strategies, and tolerance allocations to guarantee rock-solid sensor-to-body and sensor-to-sensor co-calibration stability.
• Metrology and Fixture Innovation:
  Define comprehensive measurement strategies from single components to full vehicle assembly; review and formally approve internal and supplier metrology fixture concepts.
• Cross-Functional Design Feedback:
  Provide active architectural loop feedback regarding layout changes needed to ensure vehicle body structures and sensor brackets are reliably manufacturable and assemblable.
• Supplier Capability and PPAP:
  Partner directly with Supplier Quality (SQ) teams to evaluate supplier capability, establish dimensional acceptance criteria, and resolve engineering escalations to protect program milestones.

• Industry
  
  Experience:
  
  8 to 10 years of dedicated experience in dimensional management, variation simulation, or metrology within the automotive, aerospace, or autonomous robotics sectors.
• AV Sensor Mastery:
  Deep technical understanding of the unique dimensional, structural, and alignment requirements for AV sensor suites (LiDAR, Radar, Cameras).
• Advanced Variation and GD and T:
  Expertise in performing both 1D and 3D Dimensional Variation Analysis (DVA) stack-ups, alongside advanced-level proficiency in ASME Y14.5 GD and T principles.
• CAD and 3DX Proficiency:
  Hands-on experience using CATIA V6 and 3
  
  DEXPERIENCE (3DX) to visualize, manipulate, and interrogate 3D models, create reference geometry, and map critical functional datums.
• Statistical Rigor:
  Strong background in Variation Simulation Analysis tools, Statistical Process Control (SPC), Gauge R and R studies, and process capability metrics (Cp, Cpk).
• Education:
  
  Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Fixture Design Engineering, or a closely related field.

• Employment Type:
  
  Full-time Contract (30+ hours/week)
• Target Assignment End Date:
  August 17, 2026
• Work Environment: 100% Onsite in Foster City, CA
• Interview Process: 30-minute Manager Zoom screening followed by a 1.5-hour panel interview (includes a required on-site component).
