Job Description
The role involves designing, validating, and scaling electromechanical sensor cleaning systems for autonomous vehicles, working closely with cross-functional teams to develop robust solutions that maintain sensor performance in adverse environmental conditions.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and validate electromechanical components and systems for sensor cleaning to prevent debris and contaminants on automotive sensors.
- Develop surrogate test infrastructure to simulate weather and contamination conditions for validation purposes.
- Integrate sensor cleaning solutions with Aurora Driver Kit components and OEM vehicle interfaces.
- Prototype and test next-generation sensor cleaning systems in lab, track, and real-world environments.
- Collaborate with manufacturing partners to initiate mass production tooling and oversee engineering builds.
- Work with perception, sensor, and product teams to refine requirements and support OEM engagement.
- Manage external suppliers and internal test teams to execute projects within cost, schedule, and design specifications.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering with 5 years of industry experience in automotive ADAS systems or sensor development and design
- Strong background in mechanical design, applied fluid dynamics, robotics, and/or mechatronics
- Proven strong background in developing and executing hands-on test campaigns
- Skilled in the use of solid modeling CAD tools, ideally CATIA V6
- Understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing methods and conventions in accordance with ASME 14.5-2009
- Experience working directly with and managing relationships with suppliers, ideally automotive OEMs and/or Asia-based Contract Manufacturers
- Excellent oral, written, and communication skills
- Strong interpersonal skills
- Experience developing electromechanical systems that maintain sensor cleanliness through adverse weather and environmental conditions
- Experience throughout the entire development process from design, through functional verification, and scaling manufacturing to market
- Ability to design and validate electromechanical components and systems to keep automotive sensors free of debris and contaminants such as rain, snow, ice, bugs, and dirt
- Ability to design and validate surrogate test infrastructure to simulate weather and other contamination sources in support of ADK component and integration validation
- Ability to design and integrate sensor cleaning solutions with surrounding Aurora Driver Kit ADK components and OEM vehicle interfaces
- Hands-on experience prototyping next-generation sensor cleaning systems in lab, track, and real-world environments and conditions
- Experience collaborating with manufacturing partners to kick off mass production tooling and complete engineering builds leading up to high-volume production
- Ability to collaborate with perception, sensor, and product teams to refine and support requirements development and OEM engagement
- Experience managing external suppliers and internal cross-functional test teams to execute projects according to design, cost, and schedule commitments
