Position: Senior Engineering Technician – Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)

Senior Engineering Technician – Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)

Our autonomous vehicle development team is moving fast, and we are looking for a precision-focused Engineering Technician to join the Software Hardware-in-the-Loop (SW HIL) team.

In this role, you won't just be maintaining systems—you will be building the actual custom infrastructure and simulation environments used to validate next-generation autonomous software. If you love building custom computers, routing flawless wire harnesses, and keeping complex server racks running seamlessly under tight R&D timelines, we want to talk to you.

What You’ll Do Daily
  • Custom Systems Integration:
    Assemble custom, high-performance computing hardware utilizing off-the-shelf components. Integrate complex vehicle systems and networking hardware directly into server racks.
  • HIL Simulation Support:
    Fabricate, modify, and track multiple generations of custom test platforms to enable continuous, predictable software simulation environments.
  • Electrical & Harnessing Work:
    Build, pin, and route custom cable harnesses directly from complex technical schematics, wire diagrams, and engineering drawings.
  • Diagnostics & Triaging:
    Partner directly with the engineering teams to root-cause, troubleshoot, and repair technical anomalies across test equipment using DMMs and oscilloscopes.
  • Operational Flow:
    Document modifications, manage inventory hardware changes, and track system incidents utilizing internal ticketing infrastructure. Coordinate with cross-functional logistics teams for component rollouts and decommissioning.
  • Physical Execution:
    Handle low-ground wiring infrastructure (crawling/bending required) and safely maneuver computing assets weighing up to 50 lbs with assistance.
What Makes You the Ideal Match
  • Proven Track Record: 3+ years of professional hands-on experience in a dedicated engineering lab, automotive R&D shop, or technical manufacturing environment.
  • Technical Hardware Mastery:
    Demonstrable experience building, modifying, and troubleshooting custom computer builds, networking systems, and server setups.
  • Precision Diagnostic

    Skills:

    Fluent with fundamental shop tools, digital multimeters (DMM), oscilloscopes, and specialized wire-harnessing tools.
  • Strong Documentation Habits:
    Highly organized with clear, actionable tracking skills.
  • Standout Technical Skillsets (Bonus):
    Familiarity with Linux environments, executing basic scripts, or hands-on experience with Jira, Confluence, and Google Workspace. A B.S. in an Engineering discipline is highly valued.
Our Onboarding & Interview Process

To keep our pipeline moving efficiently, we utilize a transparent, swift two-step interview process. Please ensure you are available for the required onsite component before applying:

  • Technical Sync (30 Mins):
    An initial screening and technical alignment call via Zoom with the HIL Team Hiring Manager.
  • Onsite Panel & Practical (1.5 Hours): A comprehensive panel interview conducted fully onsite at our Foster City facility to assess technical aptitude, diagnostic reasoning, and team fit.
  • Employment Eligibility & Export Control Compliance

    Strict Federal Compliance Requirements:
    Due to the proprietary nature of our autonomous driving systems and compliance with U.S. Export Control Regulations (including ITAR/EAR), this position requires access to highly sensitive technical data and hardware.

    • U.S. Person Status

      Required:

      All candidates must legally qualify as a "U.S. Person" under federal definition (U.S. Citizen, Lawful Permanent Resident / Green Card Holder, or protected individual under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)).
    • No Sponsorship:
      We are strictly unable to offer corporate visa sponsorship, visa transfers, or student work authorization extensions (such as H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, or CPT) for this contract assignment. Unrestricted, independent right to work in the U.S. must be established prior to onboarding.
