Sustaining Engineer – Chassis Systems

Autonomous Robotaxi Sustaining Engineering RoleAt our company, we are developing a purpose-built autonomous robotaxi, and the Sustaining Engineering team plays a critical role in ensuring the long-term reliability, safety, serviceability, and availability of our fleet as it operates at scale. As part of this team, you will independently own sustaining engineering for key subsystems supporting both the in-service fleet and vehicles in current production. You will drive root cause investigations and corrective actions, making subsystem-level technical decisions and leading changes through design, validation, release, and fleet implementation.Required Skills & QualificationsBS in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or related discipline (MS preferred)6-8 years of experience in chassis-related systems within a product development, manufacturing, or sustaining environmentDemonstrated ability to deliver subsystem level corrective actions that improve reliability, durability, manufacturability, or serviceability in production vehiclesExperience with root cause analysis, DFMEA, and product and process validationStrong communication and documentation skills with the ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment while managing multiple prioritiesPrior work experience in the industryApplicants must be able to work directly for Artech on W2Preferred Skills & QualificationsExperience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or EV systemsExperience with Design for Manufacturing and Design for Service (DFM/Client), and Lean, Six Sigma, or similar continuous improvement methodologiesProficiency with 3D CAD tools, CATIA preferred, and familiarity with tools such as 3DX, DELMIA, SAP, JIRA, Confluence, or data analysis or visualization tools such as dashboards, SQL, and PythonDay-to-Day ResponsibilitiesOwn sustaining engineering and corrective action development for chassis systems across the in-service fleet and vehicles in current production, from root cause confirmation through fleet-wide implementationDrive end-to-end resolution of field and manufacturing issues across Steering, Suspension, and Brake systemsApply fleet and production data including MTBF, repeat failure rates, and downtime drivers to prioritize work, validate solutions, and drive continuous improvementLead/Drive design updates and system improvements, ensuring robust performance, durability, efficiency, and serviceability in both fleet and production environmentsAuthor and manage Engineering Change Requests and Change Actions, and develop and execute validation plans at component, system, and vehicle levelsSupport and lead retrofit and rework campaigns, and partner with suppliers to resolve quality issues and improve reliability and manufacturability
