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 DoTechnical 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. ## Related Videos - [For the Cars and the Curious: Android Drift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/499-for-the-cars-and-the-curious-android-drift) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [A Hitchhikers Guide to Container Security - Automotive Edition 2024](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1119-a-hitchhikers-guide-to-container-security-automotive-edition-2024) - [An inside look into the Group Application Store](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/670-an-inside-look-into-the-group-application-store) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs)
