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)
