Application Integration Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Application Integration Engineer

• Focus: Vehicle configuration, system integration, robotic subsystem troubleshooting, and field commissioning

Description

Own and maintain a vehicle configuration library and validate configuration performance for reliable system operation across a wide range of vehicle makes/models/trims. Lead troubleshooting procedures, custom tooling and mechanical prototyping, and end-to-end robotic system assembly, including commissioning and go-live at customer sites. Use field diagnostics and data collection to drive iterative improvements for scalability and fleet consistency.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the vehicle configuration library; ensure reliable operation across vehicle variations

• Validate and improve configuration performance using version control and scalable update methods

• Define and advocate for features in tools and software to improve scalability and fleet consistency

• Document and lead troubleshooting procedures across robotic subsystems

• Design and fabricate custom tools, fixtures, and hardware to improve safety, repeatability, and efficiency

• Support mechanical prototyping using 3D printing, welding, machining, and COTS part selection

• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to resolve system interface and performance issues

• Lead end-to-end robotic system assembly (ECO logging, redlines, DFM/DFA improvements, build best practices, cable management, harnessing, enclosure design)

• Assemble and wire control panels, sensor arrays, and motion subassemblies

• Support commission and go-live of deployed robots at customer sites

• Conduct field diagnostics and data collection to identify failure modes and drive improvements

• Support pilot tests, customer demos, and system deployment

• Train and mentor technicians on build procedures, equipment operation, and safety standards

Requirements

• 8+ years hands-on experience configuring electro-mechanical systems in a real-world setting

• Skilled in electrical wiring, mechanical assembly, and root cause troubleshooting

• Experience using CAD tools (preferably Onshape or SolidWorks) for design and documentation

• Competence in Linux with command-line utilities

• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

• Demonstrated initiative, resourcefulness, and a positive mindset

• Demonstrated hands-on experience in automotive tire change and wheel balancing

Preferred Qualifications

• STEM bachelor’s degree or equivalent technical experience

• Experience in manufacturing, automation, or hardware startups

• Veteran or prior service experience, especially with mechanical or vehicle systems

• Proficiency in creating test scripts, documenting procedures, and training others

• Familiarity with motion systems, sensors, and robotic subsystems

Benefits

• Full-time, on-site role with a hands-on pathway to elevated technical impact through prototyping, deployment, and field testing.
