You will build custom engineering rigs and optimize end-to-end system performance across our data infrastructure. This role requires technical depth across multiple disciplines, comfort working from first principles, and judgment about when to build custom solutions versus leveraging existing systems.
ResponsibilitiesContributing to design and development of custom hardware/software systems for data collection (e.g., mobile ground truth rigs, multi-sensor capture platforms, time synchronization systems). Integrating sensors, synchronization systems, and custom instrumentation. Debugging end-to-end issues spanning frontend software, data collection operations, and backend integration. Partnering with hardware, software engineering, and operations teams to optimize system performance. Communicating current issues and gaps to leadership. Evaluating sensor technologies and data architectures. Documenting end-to-end systems for operational handoff and knowledge sharing.
Minimum QualificationsBachelor's degree in Computer, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Data Science, or similar. Strong programming skills (in Python, C
•
• , or similar) to control hardware.
Preferred QualificationsExperience debugging complex systems across hardware, software, and network layers. Ability to work cross-functionally with hardware, software, and operations teams. Enthusiasm for taking projects from prototype to production handoff. Comfortable with ambiguity defining problems while solving them. Experience with sensor integration/synchronization, timing systems, or custom instrumentation. Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Adaptable, with precise attention to detail and a strong work ethic. Understanding of networking fundamentals (troubleshooting packet loss, latency, reliability). Background in computer vision, robotics, or metrology systems. Familiarity with embedded systems, thermal management, or power systems. Experience with controlled testing environments or lab instrumentation. Understanding of data quality metrics and validation frameworks. Background in data collection for ML/algorithm development.
