About the Role

We’re looking for a Systems Engineer to join our team with experience in the development, testing, and deployment of perception-enabled autonomous systems. Do you enjoy tackling the most cross-disciplinary parts of a complex program? Do you love solving business-critical problems with minimal direction, a high degree of ownership, and the freedom to make it happen? As a Systems Engineer, you will work closely with experienced engineering leaders and have the opportunity to learn and contribute to the design, integration, and optimization of cutting-edge technologies.

• Serve as a trusted technical expert of high-reliability, safety-critical autonomous systems owning system-level requirements, CONOPS, metrics, and test coverage to ensure we ship safe and robust autonomous systems.
• Contribute to system and subsystem requirement definition, decomposition, and traceability of hardware, software and product capabilities.
• Develop frameworks and facilitate trade studies to optimize for performance, safety, and cost across various subsystems.
• Support defining criteria for internal and external metrics, performance & safety guidelines
• Establish release standards and test & validation processes, working collaboratively with engineers and field operations teams to ensure systems operate as intended.
• Support design decisions, tradeoffs and compliance of safety-critical systems, regulations and standards
• Design fault trees and other mathematical models for quantitative risk analysis

• Experience as an Architect or Systems Engineer for complex or safety-critical systems
• Demonstrated ability to independently solve complex multidisciplinary problems.
• Proven success in implementing program requirements, including processes, definition, decomposition, and verification.
• Experience working with systems resilient to extreme climatic conditions, mechanical vibrations, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and high electrical noise environments.
• Experience in developing fail-safe fault-tolerant modes as well as fail-operative modes that ensure system functionality continues despite faults.
• Proficiency in leveraging various tools for systems modeling and statistical analysis to effectively address and solve problems.
• An acute attention to both thinking broadly and through the details

• Experience in the application of ISO 26262, ISO 21448, ISO 18497 or other similar standards for L4/L5 autonomous vehicles
• Experience with simulation and modeling of physical hardware/software systems or data-driven modeling and analysis techniques
• Experience in reliability modeling, including the analysis of field data
• M.S. or higher degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical, Systems Engineering, or other relevant disciplines or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of hands-on systems, safety, or related engineering experience with a focus on analysis of high-integrity systems
• Previous experience in regulatory approvals for greenfield applications.

Benefits:

• 100% covered medical, dental, and vision for the employee (cost plus partner, children, or

family is additional)

• Commuter Benefits

• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

• Life Insurance

• Short- and Long-Term Disability

• 401k Plan

• Stock Options

• Collaborative work environment working alongside passionate mission-driven folks!
