About The Position

Atoms is seeking a Senior Systems Integration and Test Engineer to own the process of introducing new vehicle platforms into their fleet. This role involves taking a new platform variant, sensor, or compute generation from its initial build to fleet release. The engineer will be responsible for the integration sequence, defining validation criteria, and documenting the correlation between bench test results and actual vehicle behavior. The goal is to transform initial builds into standardized procedures, checks, and test coverage for future vehicles. The position requires working across multiple vehicle platforms with diverse hardware, compute, and software, and involves regular time spent in the garage and working directly with vehicles.

Requirements

Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
6+ years in systems integration, diagnostics, or hardware and software interface engineering on vehicles.
L4 program or production ADAS experience.
A track record of diagnosing failures that spanned hardware and software, with specific examples of establishing root cause.
Ability to correlate hardware symptoms and video evidence with telemetry and bus data into a concrete timeline.
Sensor-level troubleshooting depth on cameras, lidar, radar, GNSS and IMU, including timing failure modes.
Strong working knowledge of vehicle networks and diagnostics, including CAN, CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet, and DTCs, and understanding how failures present at each layer.
Python and command line log analysis skills sufficient for building production tools.
Experience building automated triage or anomaly detection systems using fleet data.
Experience with monitoring and observability platforms and log management at fleet scale.
Working experience with cloud storage and databases for telemetry, including object storage, SQL, and time series or NoSQL stores.
Experience with a data collection or logging fleet, particularly diagnosing data path problems at volume.
Ability to work onsite five days a week in San Francisco.
Ability to travel periodically to test sites.

Responsibilities

Own the first integration and bring-up for new platform variants, sensor generations, compute generations, and changes to power or network architecture.
Transform one-off builds into a repeatable commissioning procedure that includes firmware, calibration, sign-offs, and autonomy software integration, designed for technician execution.
Define and execute vehicle-level checks that new platforms must pass before being released to the fleet.
Own the documented relationship between bench test results and vehicle behavior for each platform.
Oversee multimodal calibration, time synchronization, and the integrity of the sensor-to-compute path on new platforms.
Lead debugging efforts for failures that span mechanical, electrical, firmware, network, and autonomy boundaries, ensuring root cause identification.
Write integration guides, troubleshooting trees, and go/no-go criteria for the technician team and other engineers.
Hold internal teams and suppliers accountable to conventions for labeling, documentation, and configuration control.
