  • Strong understanding of systems engineering principles, standards, or frameworks (INCOSE Handbook, NASA Systems Engineering Handbook, ISO 29148, ISO 15288); hardware development practices (Waterfall); and software development practices (Agile).
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced development environment and proactively collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to solve process problems, and demonstrate strong leadership skills.

  • Experience in full-stack software, front-end (mobile / web), and backend (cloud compute / distributed storage).
  • Familiar with functional safety concepts and evidenced-based testing methodologies (MIL-STD-882, ISO 21448, ISO 26262).
