Description

Motional’s Las Vegas office is located less than 10 miles from the Las Vegas strip at 730 E Pilot Road and is home to one of the largest fleets of self-driving vehicles. The city’s grid system of roads and being one of America’s “smart cities” allows for extensive research and development testing. What You’ll Be Doing: Data Analysis & Monitoring (20–30% of Role) Perform in-depth data analysis across hardware and system-level signals, leveraging large datasets to mine and track trends in vehicle and subsystem performance. Develop hardware trend models to identify early indicators of degradation, instability, or failures, enabling proactive issue resolution. Build and maintain Metrics, Reporting, and Monitoring (MRMs) dashboards that provide visibility into system health, reliability, and recurring issues at both the component and fleet level. Partner with engineering and leadership teams to deliver insights from data analysis that inform design changes, reliability improvements, and preventive actions. Integration, Testing & Validation Repair, maintain, test, and validate a wide range of electrical and mechanical vehicle systems, ensuring proper integration across hardware and software components. Inspect and maintain equipment using debugging tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, Vector CAN analysis software, and PC-based diagnostic tools to isolate faults and validate fixes. Work with cross-functional engineering teams (mechanical, electrical, software, systems) to design and execute integration test plans. Troubleshoot issues in a Linux terminal environment, applying both software and hardware debugging techniques. Documentation & Continuous Improvement Author, publish, and maintain detailed technical documentation for subsystem testing, component configuration, integration workflows, and troubleshooting procedures. Systematically track, document, and manage issues from discovery through resolution, ensuring full visibility across teams. Support continuous improvement initiatives by contributing to lessons learned, root cause analyses, and process refinements. What We’re Looking For: Bachelor’s degree, or foreign equivalent, in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or 4+ years of relevant work experience. Strong knowledge of vehicle electrical and networking systems (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, FlexRay, etc.). Proven ability in issue isolation, documentation, and systematic problem-solving. Experience working in a Linux terminal environment for troubleshooting. Familiarity with computer system architecture and cross-domain integration challenges. Strong skills in authoring and maintaining technical documentation for automotive systems and processes. Comfortable working in fast-paced, dynamic projects, with strong adaptability. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Basic understanding of cameras, LiDAR, and RADAR sensors and their integration in vehicle systems. Bonus Points (Not Required): Knowledge of programming languages such as Python or C++, particularly for data processing, test automation, and diagnostic scripting. Experience with issue-tracking and task management platforms (e.g., JIRA, Polarion, Confluence). Experience with fleet-level reliability analysis or lifecycle hardware monitoring.
