About the Team
At Avride, we develop and integrate cutting-edge solutions for self-driving cars and mobile delivery robots. Our Hardware Integration Team is responsible for assembling, installing, and maintaining the complex sensor systems, computing modules, and support hardware that power our autonomous platforms.
About the Role
We’re looking for a detail-oriented Hardware Integration Technician to work on advanced self-driving vehicles. This role blends skills from IT hardware assembly, electronics repair, and automotive integration. You’ll be assembling and installing computer systems, sensors, and wiring inside our vehicle platforms, ensuring everything works reliably in demanding environments. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of automotive and consumer electronics, perfect for those who can fix an iPhone and build a workstation from parts.
What You'll Do
- Assemble & Install Hardware: Build and install computer systems, sensors, and peripheral modules into vehicles.
- Perform Diagnostics & Repairs: Identify and fix hardware issues—whether it’s a faulty cable, a misconfigured BIOS, or a misaligned sensor.
- Troubleshoot & Replace Components: Swap out and upgrade CPUs, GPUs, RAM, SSDs, and sensor modules as needed.
- Integrate Peripherals & Cabling: Manage neat and functional internal cabling (USB, Ethernet, CAN, power, video).
- Support Software Bring-Up: Assist with basic BIOS/UEFI configuration and driver installation.
- Ensure Build Quality: Test system functionality, verify connections, and apply ESD-safe practices.
- Collaborate Across Teams: Work with mechanics, engineers, and software specialists to ensure seamless platform integration.
What You'll Need
- Computer Hardware Experience: Ability to assemble, upgrade, and troubleshoot desktops, laptops, or similar systems.
- Basic Electronics Repair Skills: Comfort replacing screens, batteries, logic boards, and diagnosing electrical issues.
- Familiarity with Sensors & Peripherals: Understanding of ports, connectors, and common sensor types (USB, Ethernet, CAN, etc.).
- Hands-On Assembly Skills: Precision and care when mounting and wiring hardware in confined spaces.
- Troubleshooting Mindset: Strong problem-solving ability with basic knowledge of system-level debugging.
- Attention to Detail: High standards for build quality, neatness, and reliability.
- Basic Electrical Safety Knowledge: Use of ESD protection, safe handling of PSUs and power cabling.
- Teamwork & Initiative: Able to work independently while communicating clearly within a multidisciplinary team.
Nice to Have
- Experience soldering and repairing mobile electronics (e.g., iPhones, tablets, drones).
- Familiarity with Linux installation and configuration.
- Automotive or EV experience is a plus, but not required.
