Senior Systems Engineer

About the role

Our client, a pioneer in groundbreaking sensing and perception technology, is seeking a skilled Senior Systems Engineer to join their team. This role involves the robust development and lifecycle maintenance of next-generation LiDAR sensor products designed for applications ranging from automated driving and robotics to consumer electronics. It is a high-impact, hands-on role that requires a technically savvy systems engineer who can bridge the gap between architectural requirements and real-world system performance.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

• Maintain product technical requirements and detailed system design documentation using formal management tools (e.g., JAMA).
• Perform detailed architectural decomposition and derive clear, verifiable component-level requirements.
• Utilize system modeling to conduct technical trade-off studies, perform design analysis, and validate architectural decisions.
• Implement and document the Functional Safety Concept (ISO 26262) and the Cybersecurity Concept (ISO/SAE 21434), including necessary safety/security analyses (FMEA, FTA, TARA).
• Act as the technical systems liaison to ensure requirements traceability, verification planning, and interface consistency across engineering disciplines.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Systems Engineering or a related technical role, preferably in the automotive or high-reliability sensor industry.
• Hands-on technical understanding and experience with sensor technology and its application in autonomous systems (LiDAR experience is strongly preferred).
• Expertise in the execution and documentation of systems processes related to ASPICE, Functional Safety (ISO 26262), and Cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434). Experience with SOTIF (ISO 21448) is a plus.
• Proficiency with Requirements Management Software (e.g., JAMA, DOORS, or Polarion).
• Ability to communicate clearly and concisely in a high-impact, technical engineering environment.
• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) experience (e.g., SysML) is highly desirable.
