About The Position

DoorDash Labs is an independent team within DoorDash focused on exploring robotics and automation for long-term transformation of last-mile logistics. The Platform Integration team is seeking a Systems Integration Engineer to build robust and scalable integration processes for their platforms and systems, ensuring reliable functionality. This role involves close collaboration with mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software engineers to ensure the robot functions as a cohesive system. Responsibilities include defining subsystem interfaces, building test setups, and verifying platform readiness for validation, manufacturing, or mission use. The role reports to the Autonomy Platform Lead on the Autonomy Platform Team at DoorDash Labs and is expected to be fully onsite.

Requirements

BS/MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or related technical field.
5+ years of experience in hardware/software integration, system integration, vehicle bring-up, or hardware validation for robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other complex mechatronics systems.
Proven experience troubleshooting complex physical systems, root-causing signal integrity issues, and diagnosing electrical and communication faults.
Experience with basic scripting (e.g., Python or Linux shell scripts) for executing tests, logging data, and running diagnostics.
Solid understanding of digital electronics, buses (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN), and embedded peripherals for hardware-level troubleshooting.
Knowledge and comfort working with hardware electrical systems for reading board schematics, wiring diagrams, physical bring-up, troubleshooting, and system validation.
Comfortable using source control and build automation tools like Git, Jenkins, etc.

Nice To Haves

Experience collaborating in multi-disciplinary teams spanning software, controls, and hardware, and can communicate technical details across domains effectively.

Responsibilities

Support early integration of new subsystem designs by defining interface contracts, integration risks, dependencies, and system-level validation checks.
Design and build HIL systems and physical test benches, including wiring harnesses, for development, system-level validation, and integrated platform testing.
Implement automated test sequences and validation procedures to stress-test integrated platform behavior across batteries, drivetrain, thermal management, sensors, controls, and embedded systems.
Lead system-level debugging when issues cross subsystem boundaries or no single team can isolate the root cause.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify integration gaps that impact vehicle safety, performance, and functionality.
Document integration procedures, test results, known issues, and platform readiness for downstream validation and manufacturing teams.
