Field Integration Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Deploy, configure, and integrate vehicle software stack, middleware, and application-level code on customer target hardware, HIL simulators, and vehicle platforms.
• Serve as the primary technical escalation point on-site. Collect logs/telemetry, bisect software pipelines, debug system crashes, and isolate root causes across software-hardware boundaries.
• Debug and validate communication interfaces (CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet, J1939) and verify end-to-end data flow between sensors, ECUs, and application software.
• Partner closely with internal core software/firmware engineering teams to reproduce complex field issues, validate fixes, and push continuous system improvements.
• Write Python scripts, Bash automation, and internal tooling to streamline deployment, automated diagnostics, and log collection in field environments.
• Work directly with customer engineering leadership to define target integration use-cases, articulate system constraints, and establish clear integration milestones.

Job requirements

• BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Strong programming skills in embedded C and/or C++, with solid software engineering practices in Linux development and command-line environments.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience integrating, testing, and debugging software applications on physical target platforms or embedded hardware.
• Practical understanding of automotive or industrial network topologies, protocol analysis (CAN, Ethernet, J1939), and diagnostic standards (UDS, DoIP, OBD-II).
• Strong analytical skills to systematically isolate faults across multi-component software pipelines and hardware interfaces.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the confidence to represent the engineering team in fast-paced, high-stakes customer environments.
• Ability and willingness to travel 30%–50%+ to domestic and international customer locations and testing sites.
