As Fleet Support Engineer-HMI Systems, you'll:
- Serve as the primary technical escalation point for HMI-related issues, including passenger displays, audio/visual alerts, interior cameras, and cabin interaction modules.
- Perform deep root-cause analysis using system logs (Linux/Android) and electrical diagnostics to resolve complex hardware and software failures.
- Develop, maintain, and improve troubleshooting guides and workflows to enable faster issue resolution by field technicians.
- Execute hardware bring-up, functional validation, and verification for new HMI components, firmware, and software releases.
- Partner closely with HMI and software engineering teams to improve diagnostic tooling and failure-mode visibility in the field.

- Familiarity with display technologies (LCD/OLED), touch controllers, and audio amplifier systems
- Ability to read and interpret schematics, electrical diagrams, connector pinouts, and end views to distinguish wiring issues from component failures
- Strong understanding of hardware/software interaction, including OS-driven display and audio systems
- Systems-level problem-solving mindset, capable of tracing high-level vehicle symptoms to root-cause components
- Self-directed, collaborative, and comfortable building strong cross-functional relationships
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Android Automotive or Linux-based infotainment systems
- Experience providing remote vehicle troubleshooting support
- Knowledge of vehicle systems and Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS)
- Experience using Linux and Python to parse and analyze large log datasets
