Vehicle Platform Systems Engineer

$135k - $216k
Full-time

Aurora

Who We Are

Aurora’s mission is to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly.

The Aurora Driver will create a new era in mobility and logistics, one that will bring a safer, more efficient, and more accessible future to everyone.

At Aurora, you will tackle massively complex problems alongside other passionate, intelligent individuals, growing as an expert while expanding your knowledge. For the latest news from Aurora, visit aurora.tech or follow us on LinkedIn.

Aurora hires talented people with diverse backgrounds who are ready to help build a transportation ecosystem that will make our roads safer, get crucial goods where they need to go, and make mobility more efficient and accessible for all. We’re searching for a Vehicle Platform Systems Engineer .

In this role, you will

  • Lead End-to-End Field Investigations: Work hands on to drive technical investigations for complex drive-by-wire and base vehicle system behaviors in the fleet from initial triage through root cause identification and final resolution.
  • Design and Execute Investigative Testing: Develop and execute structured test plans to reproduce issues in controlled environments, utilizing track testing, fault-injection, HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) testing, and customized test tools as necessary.
  • Develop Technical Mitigations: Propose and validate short-term and long-term mitigations for field issues, including software changes, hardware/architecture revisions, or operational constraint modifications.
  • Iterate System Requirements: Close the feedback loop by translating field data into updated functional requirements (e.g. new detection methods, escalating fault responses) to improve product performance.
  • Cross-Functional Technical Coordination: Act as the primary technical point of contact between Hardware Engineering, Embedded Software, Controls Engineering, Field Service and Safety teams to implement and validate multi-layered fixes for complex system-level behaviors.
  • Justification and Reporting: Compile technical evidence and data-driven rationales to support any restrictions to the operational status of specific vehicles or configurations, and the necessary short- and long-term remediations to lift those restrictions.
  • Travel to Aurora Operations locations where field issues are discovered for the purpose of investigation. (25-30% of total time)

Required Qualifications

  • Complex System Troubleshooting: Proven expertise in diagnosing issues related to system interactions on automated vehicles or other robotic systems.
    • Using hand held diagnostic equipment such as multimeters, o-scopes etc.
    • Using laptop based industry standard diagnostic service equipment - Cummins Insite, Eaton Service Ranger, International Diamond Builder, KB Diag etc.
    • Setting up and deploying data acquisition devices for both analog (current, voltage, temp) and digital (CAN Logging) domains,
  • System-Level Data Triage: Proficiency in analyzing large amounts of data from different sources (autonomy logs, telematics and diagnostic tools, CAN traces, operator statements, etc) to reconstruct event sequences during failures and identify correlations within the system and across the fleet.
  • Automotive System Architecture: In depth knowledge of automotive and commercial vehicle communication networks and standards (J1939 CAN, LIN), including physical layer and application layer implementation and troubleshooting. Knowledge of common automotive power generation and distribution architectures and components.
  • Architecture Analysis: Understanding of common cause and cascading faults, as well as fault tolerant and fail-operational architectures intended to mitigate them.
  • Requirement Translation: Ability to convert complex forensic findings into clear, verifiable engineering requirements and updated analyses (e.g. FMEAs)
  • Validation of Field Mitigations: Experience creating test plans for validating fixes on system benches (HIL) and on vehicles.
  • Technical Communication: Skill in synthesizing high-density log data and engineering analysis into clear, executive-level summaries that drive critical operational decisions.
  • Collaborative Problem Solving: Ability to aggregate findings for sharing with partners or suppliers in order to enable internal investigation and/or justify change requests.
The base salary range for this position is $135,000-$216,000 per year. Aurora’s pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future. The successful candidate will also be eligible for an annual bonus, equity compensation, and benefits.
