Applications Engineer - San Francisco

Key Highlights

• Own vehicle bringup end-to-end across all three phases — simulation (vehicle model, HAL config, sensor coverage), bench (networking, connectivity, load testing), and on-vehicle (teleop through waypoint autonomy with a safety driver).
• Build and extend automated test suites — navigation tests, sensor coverage tests, integrator tests — that auto-generate issues on failure instead of requiring manual triage.
• Find the reusable pattern in every one-off. When a client or integrator asks for something specific, the role requires solving it once and making it available to the next 10 vehicles.
• Support integrators and customers on-site and remotely during bench and vehicle-testing phases — validate sensor placement against physical reality, debug on the spot or remotely via logs/ROS bags, and document what's on the on-site coverage map.
• Contribute to our ROS2 architecture where there is a gap, especially where fixing it once removes a recurring manual step across programs.
