Based in Cambridge, MA - We are a well funded and growing start-up that is accelerating the arrival of self-driving vehicles by tackling some of the most challenging problems that stand in the way of safe and reliable navigation. We have the backing of the largest automotive companies in the world, and are excited to work with them to get our technology out to the masses. Vehicles using our platform are unaffected by common but challenging road conditions like snow, heavy rain, fog, or poor lane markings.

We are searching for an engineer, with experience in the automotive industry, to take a lead role driving the cost and manufacturabilty of parts and assemblies designed by our mechanical development team. You will be working with our mechanical and process engineers to specify how we can best fabricate, assemble, and repair our designs. You will ensure we use DFM and best practices to generate a reliable and cost-effective product.

You will have an impact on design, process and supply chain. You will research new processes, find vendors and discuss, understand and communicate needs to the development team. You will analyze alternative processes to compare tooling costs, yield, durability and material costs.

As we move from prototypes, to pilots and to early production, you will document improvements, validate the designs, and drive continuous improvement. You will work with other engineers to implement and document the design changes. You will review designs and develop design guidelines.

Is your background a fit? Apply if you meet this criteria:

• 4 year degree or similar technical training
• 7 years experience developing high-volume products
• Exposure to a wide variety of different manufacturing processes
• Significant experience supporting fabrication and assembly of high volume components and assemblies in the automotive industry
• Fabrication process expert, understanding the trade-offs, limitations and cost of various processes
• Extensive experience with the development of technology products using advanced materials<b></b>
• In-depth understanding of the capabilities and limitations of traditional fabrications like sheet-metal, and machine tooled plus a number of more advanced processes
• Experience using analysis and simulation tools to support designs and process improvement
• Proficient reading and understanding design documents

NICE TO HAVE

• Advanced degree in a technical or process engineering field
• Knowledge of product requirements for the automotive industry
• Experience packaging electronic circuit board and RF electronics, especially antennas
• Recent experience with Matlab or Solidworks
• Ability and willingness to travel to partner, vendor and integrator sites

This is a truly unique opportunity to join something special. We are working with the largest auto companies in the world to develop and distribute this technology to the masses. Our team is radically accelerating the arrival of self-driving vehicles and we need smart, dedicated, and collaborative people to help us reach our goals.
