Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Conduct an impactful lidar hardware engineering internship project, collaborating with mentors and cross-functional teams. Apply sensor technology, programming, optical sensing, photonics, frequency-domain modeling, and experimental verification skills to support Aurora’s self-driving technology and potentially advance projects from concept through field testing.

Supports safety and systems engineering for Aurora’s autonomous driving platform. Responsibilities include safety and fault analysis, requirements development, tooling, test coverage and data analysis, scenario discovery, and communicating recommendations to engineering stakeholders. Interns apply structured methods such as FMEA, fault trees, and STPA while evaluating safety-critical system behavior and requirements.

Supports internal engineers by troubleshooting builds, CI, source control, cloud access, authentication, development environments, and AI coding tools. Responsibilities include triaging support requests, managing access through infrastructure-as-code, identifying recurring issues, communicating incidents, and building scripts, command-line tools, documentation, and AI-powered automation. The role provides early-career exposure to CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, identity and access management, and developer tooling.

Define and evolve Aurora’s autonomous-vehicle runtime framework across on-vehicle and cloud execution. Design high-performance, low-latency IPC and RPC, manage configuration and process lifecycles, improve deterministic simulation and log replay, and build fault monitoring and recovery capabilities. The role also involves creating intuitive C++ APIs, supporting field testing, mentoring engineers, setting coding standards, and driving the framework roadmap.

Lead system security engineering for autonomous vehicle platforms, defining security requirements, interfaces, threat models, risk analyses, trade studies, and verification plans. Integrate hardware security, secure boot, cryptography, key management, and secure communications across vehicle compute, sensors, networks, and cloud telemetry. Partner with hardware, embedded software, safety, validation, suppliers, and Tier-1 organizations to align cybersecurity with functional safety and regulatory requirements.

Lead full-cycle recruiting for high-impact Physical AI roles across autonomy, machine learning, perception, simulation, AI infrastructure, controls, and hardware engineering. Advise senior engineering leaders on talent strategy, market intelligence, search design, engagement, and closing. Build relationships with AI, robotics, and academic talent communities; use data and AI-enabled recruiting tools to improve hiring; establish strategy for the Physical AI market; and mentor recruiters and sourcers.

Lead reliability assessments and test campaigns for autonomous vehicle hardware, including compute systems and automotive sensors. Own failure analysis and corrective actions, collaborate with hardware, systems, safety, software, field operations, and manufacturing teams, and integrate reliability findings into design and production processes. Apply automotive reliability standards, manufacturing knowledge, hardware-firmware interaction expertise, and technical data analysis to support robust scaled products.

Leads end-to-end investigations of autonomous vehicle fleet and production issues, including root-cause analysis, controlled testing, HIL diagnostics, field triage, and corrective-action deployment. Develops test plans, automated scripts, requirements updates, and system architecture improvements across power, thermal, sensors, HMI, audio, telematics, and related vehicle interfaces. Partners with engineering, production, suppliers, and operations teams to scale sustaining processes and resolve issues. Requires travel to operational locations approximately 30% of the time.

Own end-to-end executive searches for Director-level and above roles, advising executives on organization design, role scope, market intelligence, compensation, and hiring strategy. Partner with People, Finance, and Talent Acquisition leaders on succession planning and workforce planning. Structure executive offers, lead confidential searches, mentor recruiters and sourcers, and improve recruiting practices through training and shared market insights.

Develop embedded software and vehicle platform integrations for autonomous vehicles using modern C++ and C. Build fault monitoring, health management, vehicle command interfaces, simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing, and automated verification tools. Work across autonomy, embedded, and vehicle systems to influence safe on-road behavior in Linux-based environments.
