As a Hardware Integration Technician, you'll:
- Build and install computer systems, sensors, and peripheral modules into vehicles.
- Identify and fix hardware issues—whether it’s a faulty cable, a misconfigured BIOS, or a misaligned sensor.
- Swap out and upgrade CPUs, GPUs, RAM, SSDs, and sensor modules as needed.
- Manage neat and functional internal cabling (USB, Ethernet, CAN, power, video).
- Assist with basic BIOS/UEFI configuration and driver installation.
- Test system functionality, verify connections, and apply ESD-safe practices.
- Work with mechanics, engineers, and software specialists to ensure seamless platform integration.
Requirements
- Ability to assemble, upgrade, and troubleshoot desktops, laptops, or similar systems
- Comfortable replacing screens, batteries, and logic boards and diagnosing electrical issues
- Understanding of ports, connectors, and common sensor types (USB, Ethernet, CAN, etc.)
- Precision and care when mounting and wiring hardware in confined spaces
- Strong problem-solving ability with basic knowledge of system-level debugging
- High standards for build quality, neatness, and reliability
- Use of ESD protection and safe handling of PSUs and power cabling
- Able to work independently while communicating clearly within a multidisciplinary team
Nice-to-Have:
- Experience soldering and repairing mobile electronics (e.g., iPhones, tablets, drones)
- Familiarity with Linux installation and configuration
- Automotive or EV experience is a plus, but not required
