You will also actively participate in Failure Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) efforts to support the safety case.

You will work closely with the autonomy software, hardware, and commercial operations teams to accomplish these goals. This position offers a technical, hands-on professional the chance to lead the development of market-defining enterprise products that combine autonomous vehicle technology with a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model.

  • Lead and oversee the development of CAN-related devices, vehicle interfaces, HMI systems, network-related devices (e.g., router/modem), sensor selection processes, and embedded systems.
  • Lead and manage the customization of the base linux for the fleet to meet real time constraints.
  • Work with vendors (LiDAR, Radar, Camera, IMU etc) to integrate their sensor drivers in to the tractor's autonomy stack.
  • Develop new device drivers for custom proprietary hardware developed in-house and integrate them in to tractor's autonomy stack.
  • Lead system integration testing and end-to-end validation to ensure all components function seamlessly together.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for systems engineering-related communications.
  • Actively participate in FTA, FMEA, and HARA efforts to support the safety case.
  • Continuously assess and improve systems engineering processes, incorporating feedback and lessons learned from projects.
  • Communicate technical issues and solutions clearly to stakeholders at all levels, both within and outside the engineering community.
  • Up to 25% travel may be required.
Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to navigate complex technical challenges.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical issues and solutions clearly to stakeholders at all levels.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and deliver on time.
  • Willingness to travel up to 25%.
Ideal Qualifications
  • Master's or PhD in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
