Systems Engineer

About You And The Role

We're looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to join our team. This role involves serving as a trusted technical expert for deploying high-reliability, autonomous systems into safety-critical environments. Key responsibilities include owning requirements, metrics, test coverage, and validation processes to ensure safe and robust systems. You will define interfaces and drive cross-disciplinary discussions to align on budgets, develop frameworks, and facilitate trade studies to optimize for performance, safety, and cost.

• Own system and subsystem requirement definition, decomposition, and traceability
• Define interfaces and drive cross-disciplinary discussions to align on budgets
• Develop frameworks and facilitate trade studies to optimize for performance, safety, and cost
• Evaluate hardware and software release standards and test requirements
• Partner with design engineering, other systems engineers, and certification team to prove flight worthiness to regulators

Basic Requirements

• BS and/or MS in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related field
• 5+ years of real-world experience in safety critical electromechanical systems, for example in autonomous vehicles, aerospace, or industrial automation fields including systems/vehicle design experience
• The ability to solve complex multidisciplinary problems on schedule independently
• Knowledge from designing systems that were resilient to harsh climatic environments, mechanical vibration, ESD, and/or high electrical noise
• Experience with not only fail-safe fault tolerant modes but also fail-operative modes that enable the system to continue to operate through faults

Nice to Have

• A proven track record setting up systems engineering processes in new projects and/or startup environments such as implementing requirements including processes, definition, decomposition, and verification
• Sufficiently comfortable with energy budgets, flight dynamics, and statistical analysis methods to set the appropriate risk-based thresholds for things like energy margins and environmental limitations
• Leadership skills to grow and develop a world-class systems engineering team

What Else You Need To Know

• The starting cash range for this role is $160,000 - $260,000.
• Please note that this is a target, starting cash range for a candidate who meets the minimum qualifications for this role.
