Operational Strength Attribute Lead, Vehicle Integration
Core
Define and own robot-level targets for strength and durability, assess static strength, stiffness, dynamic loading, and fatigue behavior of complex mechanical systems, and lead physical component-level or full-vehicle validation programs for a robotaxi.
Role type
senior IC vehicle strength and durability engineer
Builds
fully autonomous robotaxi vehicles
Domain
automotive engineering / vehicle structural integrity
Required skills
structural and fatigue analysis, CAE simulation, test-to-simulation correlation, root-cause investigation, manufacturing feasibility assessment, cross-functional technical leadership
Preferred skills
project management tools (JIRA, Confluence)
Technologies
ANSYS, ABAQUS, ADAMS, nCode
Responsibilities
Define and cascade robot-level strength and durability targets; assess static strength, stiffness, dynamic loading, and fatigue behavior of complex mechanical systems; collaborate with design engineers to develop cost-effective structural solutions; correlate vehicle road load data with simulations; translate customer usage profiles into laboratory test specifications; lead physical component-level or full-vehicle validation programs; direct laboratory teardowns and conduct root-cause analysis on failed components; assess structural designs for manufacturing and assembly capability; provide regular Strength and Durability status updates and generate technical reports.
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC
