You will work closely with architects (HW & SW), and design, safety, manufacturing, and test engineers to ensure that requirements are verified throughout the engineering development process. Your assessments will be critical to meet milestones as we develop new generations of hardware.
In this role, you will:
- Apply compute, controls, and systems engineering principles to define traceable computing requirements from product goals.
- Engage with product, HW/SW engineering, production, safety, and business departments to author detailed requirements for compute and control modules
- Analyze tradeoffs and drive consensus with product, hardware, and software teams to converge on compute architecture for current and new vehicle platforms
- Gather and analyze critical data to define metrics, qualify systems for release, and influence system design decisions based on evidence-based insights.
- Create and maintain clear, precise documentation to support system designs, architectural decisions, and processes while ensuring alignment across teams.
- Work with software and firmware teams during implementation to ensure requirements will be met
- Lead the sign-off of compute and autonomy systems with cross-functional teams
- Help create Verification and Validation (V&V) plans, analyze test results for compute systems
Qualifications
- Collaborative team player with strong written and in-person communication skills
- Experience with automotive compute and/or control systems
- B.S, M.S or equivalent degree in Aerospace, Automotive, Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering
- 6+ years of relevant work experience with emphasis on systems level design and validation
- Experience with product development cycle management from concept to product manufacturing and deployment
- Analytical skills and passion for writing clear, concise, and verifiable requirements
- Knowledge in communication protocols (I2C, UART, SPI, CAN, LIN, USB, GMSL, FPD-Link)
- Knowledge of x86/Compute architecture
- Strong EE fundamentals with familiarity in microcontroller based systems, high speed signals, sensing and power electronics
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience in functional safety
- Experience in automotive/EV/AV/aerospace/space or similar industries
- Experience with automotive safety standards desired (ISO-26262, ARP4754A, DO-178C)
- Proficiency in requirements management tools desired (Polarion, DOORS, or Jama)
