About the role
Role Scope
Set the technical direction for compute qualification: methods, tooling, and the standards the lab holds hardware to.
Own the hardest qualifications yourself: first silicon, new platforms, and the failures nobody can explain.
Build the automation: test harnesses and data pipelines that multiply the lab's throughput.
Represent Labs to vendors and the fleet: the technical voice on what's ready and what isn't.
Requirements
Been the senior technical voice in hardware validation or systems engineering.
Qualified early hardware, engineering samples or first-run systems, and shipped the findings.
Built test automation others still use.
Failure analyses go to root cause, not to plausible.
Senior Harness Engineer responsible for designing, integrating, and validating custom wire harnesses and FPCs for advanced robotic systems from architecture through production. Requires 7+ years experience, strong electromechanical intuition, and cross-functional collaboration with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing teams.
