Senior Engineer, Vehicle Integration

Mission Summary: We are seeking a highly motivated Vehicle Integration Staff / Senior Engineer to play a critical role in the integration, validation, and troubleshooting of next-generation vehicle platforms. 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.

Key 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. Diagnose and resolve hardware-software interaction issues impacting vehicle functionality and performance.

Analyze network traces, diagnostic logs, and system data to identify and resolve integration challenges. 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. Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to junior engineers and cross-functional teams. Support integration planning, technical strategy development, and prioritization activities with the Integration Lead.

Required Qualifications

: 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. 0, CAN FD) protocols and associated tools such as Vector CANalyzer, CANoe, PCAN, or equivalent.

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. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

: 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 Pittsburgh office and requires in-office days each week.
