Senior/Staff System Engineer. Autonomy
March 20
🏢 In-office - Bay Area
Description
• 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 • Lead and drive debugging of the HW/SW issues to closure. Identify and work with key cross-functional partners to root cause and provide resolution • 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
Requirements
• 8+ 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 • Experience in systems standards such as IEEE 29148, ISO 15288, 42010, IEC 24748, and functional safety IEC 61508, ISO 26262, DO178 or similar • Experience validating systems in following industry standards and best practices for performance and safety such as ISO, IEC, FMVSS, SAE, AVSC, etc. • Deep understanding of vehicle system architectures and autonomous systems that would meet world-leading AV standards • Relevant certifications in FuSa, CySe, Systems Engineering or equivalent
Benefits
