## Description

As a Fleet Support Engineer focused on Human Machine Interface (HMI) and passenger experience systems, you’ll play a critical role in keeping our autonomous fleet operational, reliable, and customer-ready. You’ll be the technical authority for diagnosing, resolving, and preventing issues that impact in-vehicle displays, audio/visual systems, cameras, and cabin interaction modules.

This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who thrives in real-time operational environments, enjoys deep technical problem-solving, and collaborates seamlessly across Hardware, Software, and Operations teams.

### What You’ll Do

### Technical Escalation & Fleet Support

-   Serve as the primary technical escalation point for HMI-related issues, including passenger displays, audio/visual alerts, interior cameras, and cabin interaction modules.
-   Provide real-time troubleshooting support to maintain fleet uptime, including on-call coverage during nights and weekends as needed.

### Root Cause Analysis & Sustaining Engineering

-   Conduct deep root-cause analysis using Linux/Android system logs and electrical diagnostics to resolve complex hardware and software failures.
-   Lead sustaining engineering efforts by reviewing historical fleet data to identify failure trends such as ghost touch events, display blackouts, and audio latency, and drive permanent corrective actions.

### Validation, Bring-Up & Tooling

-   Execute hardware bring-up, functional validation, and verification for new HMI components, firmware, and software releases.
-   Partner closely with HMI and Software Engineering teams to improve diagnostic tooling and increase failure-mode visibility in the field.

### Documentation & Knowledge Sharing

-   Develop, maintain, and continuously improve troubleshooting guides and workflows to enable faster, more independent issue resolution by field technicians.
-   Define and capture critical data points to validate fixes and measure the effectiveness of corrective actions.

### Travel

-   Occasionally travel within the U.S. to support fleet operations at various locations.

**Technical Skills**

-   Hands-on experience troubleshooting LVDS, Ethernet, CAN, and LIN communication protocols.
-   Familiarity with LCD/OLED displays, touch controllers, and audio amplifiers.
-   Ability to read and interpret schematics, electrical diagrams, connector pinouts, and end views to distinguish wiring issues from component failures.
-   Strong understanding of hardware/software interaction, including how operating systems drive displays and peripheral devices.

**Problem Solving & Collaboration**

-   Demonstrated ability to take a holistic approach to diagnosing system-level issues and driving resolution down to individual components.
