We offer full benefits, PTO, 401k, and more! If you’re looking to grow your engineering career within an extremely reputable, stable Fortune 500 company — let’s talk!

Position Overview

We are seeking a skilled Autonomous Truck Integration & Validation Engineer to join our 2nd shift team, fully on-site in Tucson, AZ. In this role, you will work as part of a large, collaborative engineering team responsible for the integration and validation of autonomous haul truck systems. You will be hands-on with large machines in real-world environments, executing test plans, analyzing data, and troubleshooting complex issues across hardware, software, and electrical systems.

This is a new addition to the team — an outstanding opportunity to develop deep expertise in autonomy systems, gain hands-on experience with heavy machinery, and collaborate directly with software developers and end customers to drive continuous improvement in autonomous machine performance and reliability.

Why This Role?

•       Hands-on experience with large machines: Gain practical knowledge and expertise working with heavy machinery in real-world scenarios.

•       Understanding autonomy systems: Develop a deep understanding of hardware, software, and customer usage related to autonomous systems.

•       Test and validation planning: Learn how to design and execute comprehensive test and validation plans for autonomous systems and machinery.

•       On-machine testing: Acquire skills in conducting on-machine testing to ensure system functionality and reliability.

•       Data analysis: Build proficiency in analyzing data to derive insights and improve system performance.

•       Collaboration with software developers: Enhance communication and teamwork skills by interfacing with software development teams to align technical requirements.

•       Customer interaction: Gain exposure to end customers, understanding their needs and feedback to improve product design and functionality.

Key Contributions & Responsibilities

•       Create and update test and development plans for autonomous haul truck testing.

•       Execute on-machine testing on autonomous haul trucks and related systems.

•       Analyze test data to identify trends, validate performance, and drive system improvements.

•       Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and software issues encountered during autonomous haul truck testing.

•       Thoroughly document and communicate issues found during testing to relevant stakeholders.

•       Write test reports and provide recommendations based on testing experience and data analysis.

•       Collaborate with onsite expert operators and interface with software developers in Peoria via Teams meetings and virtual collaboration.

Team Structure & Work Environment

•       You will be part of a 31-member engineering team, with frequent day-to-day interaction with onsite expert operators and regular virtual collaboration with software developers in Peoria, IL.

•       Collaboration occurs through in-person and virtual meetings, email, instant messaging, and face-to-face communication.

•       Work site is located in a remote building on the property. The environment is hot, dry, and dusty — comparable to working in mining applications. Candidates must be comfortable with and physically capable of frequently ascending and descending large machines while carrying a backpack.

•       This is a fully on-site, 2nd shift role in Tucson, AZ.

Requirements

Education & Experience

•       5–7 years of relevant experience required. Candidates with a Master’s degree may be considered with fewer years of experience.

•       Bachelor’s degree in an accredited Engineering or Computer Science curriculum required. In lieu of a degree, equivalent experience in test or development of control systems, vehicles, engines, or autonomy technologies will be considered.

•       Internship experience may be counted toward the required years of experience.

•       Comparable backgrounds include roles in vehicle test or validation, or experience working directly with the type of equipment produced.

Top 3 Skills

•       Computer literate with proficiency in Windows operating systems.

•       Strong troubleshooting skills in complex systems (mechanical, electrical, and/or software).

•       Ability to clearly communicate technical information to diverse stakeholders.

Required Technical Skills

•       Ability to communicate technical information clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.

•       Ability to work independently and manage priorities with minimal supervision.
