Hardware Integration Engineer
$109,500–$161,000 year
On-siteSan Francisco, California, United States
Job Summary
Own the bring-up, integration, and validation of complex robotic hardware systems, ensuring electrical, mechanical, firmware, and subsystems operate reliably as one cohesive platform. Integrate and debug hardware interfaces across vehicle controls, power distribution, motion control, sensor systems, and communication buses while defining subsystem interfaces and integration risks. Develop physical test setups, bench rigs, and diagnostic workflows using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters to root-cause signal integrity and timing issues. Execute validation procedures to stress-test integrated systems including battery, drivetrain, thermal, and sensor subsystems, documenting results for downstream manufacturing teams. Report to the Autonomy Platform Lead on DoorDash Labs' Platform Integration team, working onsite to transform last-mile logistics through robotics and automation.
Required Qualifications
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in hardware systems integration, vehicle bring-up, hardware validation, or complex mechatronics systems
- hands-on experience debugging electrical, communication, signal integrity, timing, or power issues
- ability to read schematics, wiring diagrams, interface specifications, board documentation, and mechanical drawings
- comfort using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, digital multimeters, power supplies, CAN tools, and other diagnostic equipment
- ability to troubleshoot digital electronics, embedded peripherals, and hardware interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet, USB, and GPIO
- ability to use Python, Linux shell scripts, Git, logs, and diagnostic tools to run tests, automate workflows, and analyze results
- Experience taking robotic or electromechanical hardware through prototype bring-up, validation, manufacturing test, reliability testing, or field failure analysis
