Your expertise in mechanical integration, fabrication, and mechatronic systems will be critical in building reliable, safe, and high-performance autonomous trucks. You thrive in a fast-paced workshop environment, applying engineering rigor and precision craftsmanship to complex systems.

:::This is a full-time, onsite role based in Mountain View, CA, requiring five days per week in the office:::

  • Build and bring up prototype self-driving trucks using best engineering practices and mechanical standards.
  • Install and integrate hardware components including sensors, compute, power distribution, and vehicle control systems.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware and software teams on system wiring, networking, software installation, and sensor calibration.
  • Develop and document repeatable, scalable build processes to support manufacturing as the program grows.
  • Perform retrofits, system upgrades, and mechanical rework on test vehicles as designs evolve.
  • Fabricate brackets and simple components using shop tools or 3D printing.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical and system-level issues during build and integration phases.
  • Ensure high-quality, safe, and reliable installations across all vehicle builds

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with prototype or production vehicle builds - preferably in autonomous vehicles, trucking, aerospace, or robotics.
  • Degree or certification in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Manufacturing, or Electrical Engineering - or equivalent hands-on expertise.
  • Strong experience working on complex mechanical and electrical integrations.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks preferred) for design review and fabrication.
  • Experience with 3D printing and small-batch part fabrication.
  • Solid knowledge of components such as fasteners, seals, brackets, mounts, coatings, and materials.
  • Skilled with a wide range of hand and power tools: drills, brake presses, saws, grinders, rotary tools, etc.
  • Familiarity with commercial vehicle systems - especially steering, suspension, and foundation air brakes.

Bonus Points

  • Experience with automotive wire harness fabrication and high-quality system integrations.
  • Background working on autonomous or electric vehicle prototypes.
  • Familiarity with vehicle test operations, including field support and troubleshooting.

More about Gatik

Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.

We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy. By choosing the middle mile – with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik’s well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.
