About the Role:
Looking for an experienced Engineering Technician. This role involves hands-on electrical and mechanical work to build and modify automotive systems — especially vehicle harnesses, ADAS integrations, and prototype components.

Responsibilities:

  • Build complex automotive harnesses using diagrams and schematics

  • Perform low-voltage electrical wiring for vehicles

  • Modify vehicles both mechanically and electrically

  • Prototype and test vehicle systems

  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues, document processes and findings

  • Collaborate with engineering, logistics, and operations teams

  • Participate in validation and testing activities

Requirements:

  • Strong electrical/mechanical experience with vehicles (not just lube/brake work)

  • Able to read and follow wiring diagrams and schematics

  • Comfortable working independently

  • Experience working with vehicle electrical systems and components

  • Understanding of rapid prototyping and fabrication processes

Preferred Qualifications:

  • ASE certification

  • Experience with medium- or heavy-duty trucks (diagnostics or repairs)

  • Familiar with ADAS (camera/lidar/radar) systems and integration

  • Comfortable working in Windows and Linux environments

Benefits:

  • Pre-tax commuter benefits

  • Employer-subsidized health insurance

  • FSA for healthcare costs

  • Short- and long-term disability and life insurance (100% covered)

  • 401(k) plan

Interview Process:

  1. Virtual Technical Interview (45 minutes)

  2. Onsite Technical + Behavioral Interview (5 hours total, can be split into 2 days)

Additional Notes:

  • This role is ideal for a true mechanic — someone who’s done full vehicle diagnostics, wiring, or mechanical integration work — not just oil changes or brakes.

  • Candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. (no sponsorships or corp-to-corp).

  • Must be comfortable working onsite every day.

  • Cultural fit is important to the client — hands-on, detail-oriented, and collaborative.

Ops Check Questions (Be Prepared to Answer):

  • Describe a time you built or modified a vehicle system using schematics.

  • Explain how you diagnosed and fixed an electrical issue on a truck.

  • Share your experience working on medium- or heavy-duty trucks.

  • Walk through a time you validated or tested an automotive system.

  • What’s your experience with ADAS systems like LiDAR, radar, or cameras?

  • Do you hold any ASE or other technical certifications?
