We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Hardware Integration & Validation Engineer to lead the systems-level integration, manufacturing readiness, and quality assurance of our advanced sensor and compute platforms. You will serve as the bridge between hardware design, vehicle engineering, vendors, and operations, ensuring that every sensor kit and vehicle installation meets stringent fit, form, function, and quality requirements. This role focuses on building and sustaining the infrastructure, tooling, processes, and acceptance criteria that enable reliable, repeatable integration at scale. You will define standards, QA workflows, and traceability systems that transform prototype hardware into robust, production-ready systems deployable across diverse vehicle platforms and operating environments. This is a critical position for our Data Collect program: you will ensure integration and manufacturing readiness is engineered from day one, enabling Uber to scale vendor operations, fleet retrofits, and city deployments with confidence.
Job Responsibility:
Own system-level integration readiness for the sensor and compute stack, including mechanical, electrical, and vehicle-interface validation
Define and refine integration and manufacturing requirements (mounting, power, networking, thermal, timing, build tolerances) with hardware design, perception, and vehicle engineering teams
Define the QA and traceability systems that allow contract manufacturers and upfit partners to deliver consistent, high-quality installs at scale
Develop acceptance criteria, build-quality checks, validation procedures, and quality gates for prototype, pilot, and production sensor kits
Plan, build, and maintain integration and QA test infrastructure, including benches, harnesses, fixtures, operator workflows, and validation rigs
Partner with vendors, CMs, and manufacturing teams to support first-article builds, audit build quality, review process performance, and drive corrective actions
Establish traceability requirements for parts, builds, calibration data, and installation workflows to ensure scalable, auditable operations
Author detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for integration, installation, QA, and first-power-on workflows to ensure repeatability and safety
Collaborate closely with vehicle teams to ensure seamless installation on new platforms, including wiring, power distribution, CAN/fiber routing, and compute mounting requirements
Analyze hardware failures, collect field feedback, and drive reliability improvements across mechanical, electrical, and thermal domains
Perform structured root-cause analysis on integration or manufacturing issues, documenting findings and driving cross-functional resolution
Support development of tools, fixtures, automation, and inspection methods to improve build consistency, integration throughput, and quality
Mentor technicians and cross-functional partners on integration best practices, QA workflows, safety procedures, and validation methodologies
Requirements:
5+ years of hands-on experience in hardware integration, manufacturing engineering, systems validation, or related roles (automotive, robotics, aerospace, industrial)
Strong understanding of mechanical/electrical integration fundamentals, including power systems, harnessing, grounding, thermal considerations, and communication interfaces
Proven experience developing or executing integration SOPs, build-quality checks, validation frameworks, or QA procedures for complex systems
Proficiency with mechanical and electrical diagnostic tools (multimeters, oscilloscopes, CAN analyzers, alignment or measurement systems)
Experience interpreting schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, and sensor/compute specifications
Solid foundation in Linux and scripting (bash, Python, or similar) for validation, automation, or data/logging workflows
Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with hardware design, manufacturing, test, and operations teams
Excellent documentation and organization skills with a focus on repeatability and traceable, auditable processes
Nice to have:
Experience integrating multi-sensor perception systems (cameras, LiDAR, radar, IMU) or compute platforms in automotive or robotic systems
Familiarity with fleet or production system bring-up (first article builds, pilot runs, or manufacturing engineering)
Background in hardware reliability testing, environmental validation, or durability engineering
Working knowledge of vehicle systems, including 12V/48V power, CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and thermal constraints
Experience working with external vendors, contract manufacturers, or integration partners
Ability to architect fixtures, jigs, and validation tools for repeatable integration workflows
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems Engineering, or equivalent experience
