Role Description
Hardware engineering is more complex than ever, yet the tools to manage design changes have not kept pace. We’re building the solution and we need your expertise.
This role is ideal for someone who knows how to write requirements, trace risks, and prepare for certification audits - and wants to do it with AI-native tooling. You'll embed with customer engineering teams, own chunks of their actual systems engineering work, and use Nema to deliver in days what used to take months.
You will:
Embed with hardware teams and own delivery of requirements documentation, traceability, and V&V artifacts
Decompose system-level requirements into hardware and software specifications
Build and maintain traceability from stakeholder needs through verification evidence
Prepare engineering packages for certification audits (ISO 26262, DO-178C, IEC 62304)
Use Nema features daily and feed back what's missing to the product team
You have:
Prior experience working with JAMA Software, Siemens Polarion, IBM DOORS
Familiarity with requirements methodologies (e.g., MIL-STD-881)
Enough software literacy to work alongside software teams
Bonus points for:
Direct experience with aerospace (DO-178C, DO-254), automotive (ISO 26262, ASPICE) or robotics (ISO 10218, ISO 19014, ISO 15288) certification
Having shipped safety critical systems (FMEA/HARA/Fault Tree/Fault Detection)
