The team's mission is to create technologies that support and augment human networks, aiming to improve efficiency for Dashers, merchants, and consumers alike. We’re ruthlessly focused on business impact. We are a highly senior team composed of former pioneers from a variety of different robotics industries. As of 2025, DoorDash has completed 10B lifetime deliveries. We’re focused on how to do the next 10B even better About the Role As a Hardware Engineer, Electronics Packaging & Vehicle Integration, you will lead the mechanical architecture, design, and delivery of electromechanical systems for DoorDash’s next-generation autonomous delivery vehicle. You will develop robust packaging solutions for compute, electrical, communications, and sensor-related hardware that operate reliably in demanding real-world fleet environments. This role sits at the intersection of mechanical engineering, vehicle integration, and product reliability. You will partner closely with electrical engineering, PCB design, industrial design, systems engineering, manufacturing, supplier partners, reliability, and operations teams to turn system requirements into durable, manufacturable, serviceable, and cost-effective product designs. You will own designs from concept through launch, including electronic enclosures, housings, mounting systems, seals, connector interfaces, and vehicle-level integration features. Success in this role requires strong mechanical design judgment, practical experience with production processes, and the ability to resolve cross-functional packaging tradeoffs. Responsibilities: • Own the mechanical design and release of electronic packaging, housings, enclosures, and vehicle integration solutions in support of program timing and product launch. • Design components and assemblies including castings, injection-molded parts, stampings, seals, brackets, PCBA mounts, connector interfaces, and vehicle mounting interfaces. • Create and maintain production-quality 3D CAD and drawings; lead CAD design reviews with cross-functional stakeholders. • Define mechanical requirements and interfaces for electrical, compute, communications, and other electromechanical subsystems. • Perform design calculations, GD&T development, tolerance stack-ups, and other engineering analyses needed to validate design intent. • Develop and execute analysis and test plans for new designs, including proof-of-concept builds, bench testing, and design validation activities. • Partner with electrical engineers and PCB designers to integrate components into reliable, manufacturable electromechanical assemblies. • Lead DFx activities with manufacturing and supplier partners, incorporating design-for-manufacturing, assembly, serviceability, reliability, and cost considerations. • Identify design risks, drive technical tradeoff decisions, and communicate design progress, issues, and mitigation plans to program stakeholders. • Support supplier engagement, prototype builds, root-cause investigations, and continuous product improvement through launch and fleet deployment.
