Senior/Staff Systems Engineer

Senior/Staff Systems Engineer

Requirements

• 5+ years experience writing and managing requirements for complex systems with a hardware and software aspect
• Experience with requirements management and (model based) systems engineering tools such as Jama, SysML, ANSYS Medini, DOORS, etc.
• Deep technical experience with complex, safety-critical systems following SE best practices
• Hands-on experience with latest AV technologies and debugging complex systems that involve sensors, compute, networking, etc. that interface with various vehicle subsystems
• Experience with designing and deploying test setups on the bench, HiL, and/or the vehicle
• Ability to communicate effectively with subject matter experts for deriving and capturing requirements
• Excellent organization skills in helping cross-disciplinary teams collaborate, communicate and deliver together
• Hands-on experience applying systems standards such as IEEE 29148, ISO 15288, 42010, IEC 24748, and functional safety IEC 61508, ISO 26262, DO178 or similar and behavioral standards ISO 21448 or similar
• Experience validating systems in following industry standards and best practices for performance and safety such as ISO, IEC, FMVSS, SAE, AVSC, UL, etc.
• Have performed hazard analysis using one or more of the following methods: System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA), qualitative or quantitative Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP), Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA), etc.
• Deep understanding of vehicle system architectures and autonomous systems that would meet world-leading AV standards
• Relevant certifications in FuSa, SOTIF, CySe, Systems Engineering or equivalent

Responsibilities

• Establish model-based system engineering (MBSE) and methodologies for requirements management. Allocate functional and performance requirements, making sure they cascade down to the various stakeholders and abstraction levels of the system.
• Provide comprehensive advance systems expertise in integrating and bringing architecture changes and component revisions, thus ensuring that new configurations work as expected
• Responsible for writing test cases and executing systems integration tests at different abstraction levels of the system such as Hardware in Loop (HiL), Vehicle in Loop (ViL)
• Manage requirements across the V-cycle establishing traceability with product, design, performance, implementation, hardware, software, and verification & validation teams
• Collaborate with internal hardware and software teams and external vendors to ensure requirements are consistently met and the desired functionality achieved
• Hands-on vehicle bring up of in-house high compute ECUs and full autonomy sensor suite for data collection and logging
• Build, implement, and run test benches with proprietary or industry-standard tools to evaluate, document and identify problems with hardware-software integration
• Identify and work with key cross-functional partners to root cause and provide resolution, drive debugging of the HW/SW issues to closure
• Implement systems engineering processes cross-functionally with other teams including review & support of requirements, and evaluate architecture robustness
• Inform system design decisions across hardware, software and other functional blocks of the AV systems according to established industry standards and best practices
• Triage system software bugs & defects and investigate perceived issues, escalating when appropriate and driving to resolution
• Update and suggest changes to upstream processes and/or code after root cause investigation in collaboration with domain SMEs
• Establish and take ownership of end-to-end automation of manual tests and come up with clear KPIs, metrics and quality benchmarks to support statistical validation
• Work closely with software developers, systems engineers, and other internal and/or external stakeholders to ensure that design and implementation are in sync
• Work across internal teams and engineering vendors to ensure timely delivery of exceptional quality work products
