About the role

Senior HW Systems Engineer responsible for decomposing product guidance into use cases and functional requirements, shaping architectures and requirements for hardware system areas, and enabling cross-disciplinary delivery across the product development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

  • Decompose product guidance into use cases and functional requirements.
  • Be responsible for architectures and requirements sets for assigned system-level areas as part of Hardware Development.
  • Work closely with stakeholders and domain engineers to transform product guidance into design through every stage of the product development lifecycle.
  • Author and maintain systems engineering artifacts to accelerate Hardware Development efforts.
  • Actively work to unblock multidisciplinary teams with new perspectives, requirements, and influence to ensure successful delivery of quality Hardware.
  • Use data and engineering experience to qualify work products and arrive at a design compatible with the goals of the organization.
  • Foster a culture of collaboration and learning within and between groups.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field and at least 4 years of experience or equivalent experience and advanced degrees for a total of 8 years related experience.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills to drive architecture and attribute trade decisions in multi-domain engineering environments.
  • Experience in design, implementation, and test of complex systems with hardware and software components in industries such as aerospace, autonomous systems, or large scale computing infrastructure.
  • Experience cultivating non-functional and quality attributes of system design such as Safety, Security, and other ‘built-in, not bolt-on’ characteristics.
  • Expertise with systems engineering analysis methods and creating artifacts such as Activity Diagrams, Functional Decompositions, FMEAs, and test plans.
  • Good technical risk sensitivity in order to make decisions with limited input and information.
  • Familiarity with decomposing industry standards into atomic, testable requirements; experience with Hardware Safety standards such as ISO 26262 or related standards is a plus.
  • Experience with Model-based systems engineering methodologies and tools is a plus (e.g. Jama or Polarion).
  • Experience with Requirements Management Database Systems and Requirements Management process is a plus.
  • Passionate about self-driving technologies, solving hard problems, and creating innovative solutions.
