Sobre esta vaga de Staff Engineer, Vehicle Integration Lead na ARX Robotics GmbH
About the Role
As our Vehicle Integration Lead, you will be the technical authority responsible for making customer vehicles a safe, reliable, and integral part of our Mithra OS ecosystem. Mithra is our ARX Software Stack that transforms legacy fleets with AI-driven autonomy and standardized software, ensuring seamless integration and unmatched adaptability for complex missions. You will own the entire technical journey, from initial feasibility studies with vehicle OEMs to the final commissioning and field testing of fully integrated autonomous systems.
This is a deeply hands-on systems engineering role for someone who loves to bridge the gap between complex machinery and intelligent software. You will be accountable for the entire vehicle platform—spanning mechanical, electrical, and software domains—ensuring that every vehicle we touch is a robust, testable, and mission-ready asset.
What You’ll Build
- Own the end-to-end technical integration of customer vehicles, transforming them into intelligent platforms powered by our Mithra OS.
- Lead the deep-dive technical assessments of new vehicle platforms, defining the precise path forward for integration with our autonomy stack.
- Design and implement the physical and mechatronic systems that bring our technology to life, including computers, sensors, networks, and power systems.
- Develop the low-level vehicle control software and interfaces (CAN, LIN, ETH) that enable safe and reliable drive-by-wire and teleoperation capabilities.
- Define and execute rigorous verification and validation plans, from bench tests to live field trials in challenging environments.
- Act as the central technical hub, coordinating with vehicle OEMs, internal engineering teams, and partners to solve complex integration challenges.
- Create the tools, documentation, and reusable methods that will scale our integration capabilities for future fleets.
What You Bring
- Significant hands-on experience integrating and troubleshooting complex systems on robotics, automotive, defense, or industrial vehicles.
- Expertise in vehicle electrical and network architectures, including CAN, LIN, Flexray, and Automotive Ethernet.
- Practical, real-world skill in designing and implementing physical integrations for power distribution, harnesses, sensors, and compute hardware.
- A cross-disciplinary mindset, with the ability to diagnose issues across mechanical, electrical, software, and networking domains.
- A strong sense of engineering judgment and a healthy skepticism, knowing when to proceed and when to challenge assumptions.
- Experience working directly with OEM engineering teams and navigating their technical documentation and support processes.
- A calm, methodical approach to solving tough problems in workshops, test facilities, and customer sites.
