About the role

  • This position will serve as a technical leader within the Vehicle Integration team, driving root cause analysis of complex vehicle-level issues while ensuring seamless integration of electrical, electronic, and networked systems.
  • The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on debugging skills with a systems level understanding of vehicle architectures, communication networks, and ECU interactions.
  • This role requires close collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams to rapidly identify, resolve, and prevent integration issues throughout the vehicle development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

  • Lead investigation and root cause analysis of complex vehicle integration issues across electrical, network, software, and hardware domains.
  • Utilize structured problem-solving methodologies to identify dominant failure modes and implement robust corrective actions.
  • Integrate, configure, and validate ECUs, sensors, actuators, and embedded systems at the vehicle level.
  • Debug and validate vehicle communication networks, including CAN, CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet, and gateway routing.
  • Develop and execute vehicle integration, design validation, and product validation test plans.
  • Document root cause findings, corrective actions, and lessons learned to improve product quality and development efficiency.
  • Partner with subsystem teams including ADAS, Vehicle Engineering, Infotainment, Supplier Quality, and Connectivity to drive issue resolution.
  • Support vehicle builds, bring-up activities, and validation testing throughout prototype and production phases.
  • Support integration planning, technical strategy development, and prioritization activities with the Integration Lead.
  • We aren't just developing driverless cars

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in vehicle integration, automotive electronics, embedded systems, or related engineering disciplines.
  • Strong experience performing vehicle-level root cause analysis and troubleshooting of complex electrical and networked systems.
  • Strong understanding of Automotive Ethernet technologies (100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1) and protocols including DoIP, SOME/IP, and AVB/TSN.
  • Experience with electrical system debugging using oscilloscopes, multimeters, protocol analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.
  • Ability to read, interpret, and troubleshoot electrical schematics, wiring harnesses, and connector systems.
  • Experience with vehicle network architecture development, communication routing, and topology design.

Nice to have

  • Experience supporting OEM or Tier 1 vehicle programs from prototype development through production launch.
  • Familiarity with AUTOSAR architectures, UDS diagnostics, gateway configuration, and network management.
  • Experience with ADAS, autonomous vehicle, EV/HEV, or zonal vehicle architectures.
  • Knowledge of system integration processes, DVP&R development, and vehicle validation methodologies.
  • BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • This role is based in our Las Vegas office and requires in-office days each week.
  • Motional is a driverless technology company making autonomous vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality.
  • We're driven by something more.
