• 7+ years of experience in mechanical, mechatronics, or vehicle systems engineering roles
• Demonstrated ownership of complex, multi-disciplinary hardware systems from architecture through deployment
• Strong experience designing systems for harsh environments (automotive, construction, aerospace, military, or similar)
• Experience defining and executing environmental and regulatory qualification strategies, including: ingress protection (IP rating) validation, thermal modeling and test correlation, shock and vibration test design and verification, EMI/EMC qualification and certification
• Extensive experience integrating high-power compute platforms in vehicle environments
• Deep understanding of harness architecture, connector selection, grounding, shielding, and power distribution
• Experience integrating perception sensors (cameras, LiDAR) with awareness of calibration, vibration isolation, thermal drift, and environmental constraints
• Strong CAD proficiency and experience managing BOMs and lifecycle processes
• Ability to operate autonomously and influence cross-functional engineering decisions
• Ability and willingness to travel within the United States (~10%)
