Role summary

Seeking a Senior Systems Engineer for the Autonomous Driving Kit (AD-Kit) Systems Team to design, source, develop, build, and deliver a highly scalable AD-Kit system. This role focuses on systems engineering and autonomy compute systems, aligning with functional safety and cybersecurity standards. Responsibilities include decomposing and tracing product requirements, authoring and analyzing technical requirements, leading the development of compute platform system requirements and functional architecture, and creating integration and test plans. The role involves problem-solving, root cause analysis, and staying updated on industry trends. A Bachelor's degree in a related engineering field and 6+ years of experience (or Master's with 3+ years) is required, along with hands-on systems, hardware, and software engineering experience, particularly with safety-critical systems and automotive ECUs.

Meet the Team:Join the Autonomous Driving Kit (AD-Kit) Systems Team, where we design, source, develop, build and deliver a highly scalable Autonomous Driving Kit (AD-Kit) system. Your role will make a significant impact on the future of trucking and autonomous technology as we look to Drive the Future of Freight. We are currently seeking a System Engineer who is enthusiastic about systems engineering and autonomy compute systems. This work is aligned to best-in class functional safety and cybersecurity standards.What you'll do:We are looking for an experienced and dynamic Senior Systems Engineer who will bring new ideas, optimizations, and best practices to the AD-Kit Systems Team. The Senior Systems Engineer owns and drives the decomposition, alignment, and traceability of product requirements across compute platform systems. The team is responsible for authoring, maintaining, and analyzing technical requirements, and working across the product lifecycle to ensure stakeholder alignment and successful bring-up, testing, validation, and integration of the AD-Kit System. This includes, but is not limited to, embedded compute, data logging, power distribution, smart antenna, and all sensor modalities (radar, LiDAR, camera, microphone, etc).

  • Lead the development of compute platform system requirements, ensuring alignment with applicable functional safety and cybersecurity standards.
  • Maintain requirements databases using Jama, ensuring accuracy and traceability.
  • Partner with the Product team to interpret product-level requirements and decompose them into detailed autonomy system requirements.
  • Lead the development of AD-Kit System functional architecture.
  • Develop AD-Kit System integration and test plans.
  • Stay up to date with the latest industry trends, technologies, and best practices and champion this with others in the group.
  • Perform problem-solving activities during design, prototype, and production, driving root cause analysis and problem resolution.
  • What you’ll need to succeed:
