Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle-mile logistics, is revolutionizing the B2B supply chain with its autonomous transportation-as-a-service (ATaaS) solution and prioritizing safe, consistent deliveries while streamlining freight movement by reducing congestion. The company focuses on short-haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 retailers and in 2021 launched the world’s first fully driverless commercial transportation service with Walmart. Gatik's Class 3-7 autonomous trucks are commercially deployed across major markets, including Texas, Arkansas, and Ontario, Canada, driving innovation in freight transportation.
The company's proprietary Level 4 autonomous technology, Gatik Carrier, is custom-built to transport freight safely and efficiently between pick-up and drop-off locations on the middle mile. With robust capabilities in both highway and urban environments, Gatik Carrier serves as an all-encompassing solution that integrates advanced software and hardware powering the fleet, facilitating effortless integration into customers' logistics operations.
About the role As an Electrical Engineering Tech Lead in our Hardware Engineering team you will be responsible for all electronic components on and off the vehicle along with establishing processes needed to bring-up and to calibrate the stack. This means you are closely working with the Systems Engineering team to establish architectures meeting our requirements as well as bringing the system to production, while collaborating with a diverse and multidisciplinary team delivering high quality vehicles. You are following best engineering practices & standards in general and are able to be scrappy when needed to make progress. Your area of expertise is selecting, integrating, connecting and troubleshooting electronics and software bring-up. While the focus is on technical leadership and cross-functional coordination, a willingness to engage at a practical level—such as reviewing prototypes, validating system behavior, or supporting early integration efforts—is essential to drive informed decision-making and ensure real-world performance.
This role is onsite 5 days a week at our Mountain View, CA office.
What you’ll do
Lead the definition and development of electrical and electronic components and system architecture for an autonomous vehicle platform
Collaborate across hardware, software, and systems teams to drive integration of sensors, compute, and power systems from concept through deployment
Serve as the technical point of contact for key component and sensor suppliers, guiding selection, validation, and integration decisions
Oversee vehicle- and system-level bring-up, ensuring readiness for calibration, testing, and manufacturing in close partnership with software and validation teams
Define and manage technical documentation, interface specifications, and deliverables to support New Product Introduction (NPI) and volume manufacturing
Support field performance improvements through structured investigation of vehicle issues and coordination with test, systems, and service teams
Contribute to the development and enforcement of engineering best practices for electrical system integration, verification, and vehicle reliability
Participate in design reviews, integration planning, and cross-functional problem-solving to ensure system-level performance and scalability
What we’re looking for
8+ years of experience leading electrical system development for complex mechatronic, vehicle, or robotics platforms
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field (Master’s preferred, deep understanding of sensor technologies (camera, lidar, radar, ultrasound) and their integration into vehicle architectures)
Ability to evaluate sensor trade-offs and calibration strategies in the context of autonomous system design
Experience with vehicle-level electrical integration, system reliability, and design for manufacturability
Proven track record collaborating across hardware, software, and systems teams during bring-up and integration phases
Experience in industries such as automotive, aerospace, robotics, or automation, particularly in fast-paced development environments
Familiarity with scripting and automation tools to support system integration and validation (e.g., Python, command-line tools)
Working knowledge of in-vehicle communication protocols such as GMSL2, CAN, CAN-FD, and LIN
Familiarity with system modeling or simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink (preferred)
Understanding of embedded system interfaces and microcontroller-based architectures (preferred)
Salary Range - $200,000-$280,000
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.
