We’re building an autonomous, zero-emissions hauler that dramatically lowers the cost of freight with groundbreaking vision-based AI, designed for today’s global logistics network.\nWe’re a fast-moving, close-knit team of AV industry veterans and innovative thinkers. We don’t believe culture can be engineered - but when it falls into place, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.\nProgress has never felt so present.\nPosition Overview\nOwn design verification (DV) for our autonomous hauler, end-to-end. Define vehicle-level DV requirements and decompose them to every module we build, covering thermal, shock, vibration, EMC, environmental, and electrical stress. Decide whether we run tests at external labs or build our own HIL and environmental setups in-house, and make sure every module we ship is compliant with the DV requirements driven from the vehicle.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine the DV strategy for the vehicle and cascade it into module-level requirements for every ECU, sensor, and electro-mechanical assembly on the vehicle.\nPlan and execute full DV campaigns - thermal (operating/storage, thermal shock, thermal cycling), mechanical shock, random and sinusoidal vibration, EMC/EMI (CISPR 25, ISO 11452), IP sealing, and electrical stress/robustness (ISO 16750, ISO 7637, LV 124).\nDecide per program whether to run tests at accredited external labs or stand up equivalent capability in-house; own the lab sourcing, HIL/environmental fixture design, instrumentation, and data capture.\nWrite test plans, reports, and DVP&R documents that tie every test back to a vehicle-level requirement. Track compliance, deviations, and closure with design teams.\nDrive root-cause analysis and corrective action on every failure; partner with EE, ME, FW, and Systems to get fixes landed and re-verified.\nWork closely with Systems and Functional Safety to ensure DV coverage is consistent with ASIL allocations and safety goals.\nBuild the test infrastructure and culture from scratch - fixtures, automation, data pipelines, and reporting cadence so DV is a repeatable engine, not a one-off.\nMinimum Qualifications\nBS in Electrical, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering; 5+ years of high-impact automotive DV/V&V experience owning the full scope\nHands-on ownership of automotive DV programs across multiple environments: thermal, thermal shock, vibration, mechanical shock, EMC/EMI, and electrical robustness.\nDeep working knowledge of automotive validation standards: ISO 16750, ISO 7637, LV 124/LV 148, CISPR 25, ISO 11452, ISO 20653 (IP), and ISO 26262 interactions with DV.\nExperience writing vehicle-level DV requirements and decomposing them to module and component-level test plans with full traceability.\nProven ability to stand up test capability from scratch - fixtures, automation, HIL rigs, data capture, and reporting - as well as to manage and get results out of external accredited labs.\nStrong RCCA skills and the instinct to dig into failures with EE/ME/FW teams until the physics are understood and the fix is verified.\nPreferred Qualifications\nPrior experience at an AV, robotaxi, autonomous trucking, or heavy-duty EV program.\nExperience running environmental labs (thermal chambers, shaker tables, EMC chambers, IP test) or building HIL/SIL rigs in-house.\nFamiliarity with reliability and durability methods (HALT/HASS, Weibull, accelerated life testing).\nScripting and automation experience (Python, LabVIEW, TestStand, CAN/LIN tool APIs) for test orchestration and data analysis.\nExperience interfacing with Functional Safety teams and translating ASIL-driven safety requirements into DV coverage.\nCompensation\nSalary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including qualifications, skills, experience, and location. We also offer competitive equity compensation and benefits.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3997,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Autonomous Driving","Road Transport"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T04:59:25Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":252500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":36,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.811,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":192,"expected_fill_days":171,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/humblerobotics-seniorstaff-hardware-validation-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/humblerobotics-seniorstaff-hardware-validation-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T02:00:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2631,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678574},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678574"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhumblerobotics-seniorstaff-hardware-validation-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhumblerobotics-seniorstaff-hardware-validation-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhumblerobotics-seniorstaff-hardware-validation-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/humblerobotics-seniorstaff-hardware-validation-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhumblerobotics-seniorstaff-hardware-validation-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":711980}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"humblerobotics.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":711980},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
