As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will join a small cross-functional group defining and developing an unprecedented industry-transforming robotic product. You will help develop and promote a new Systems Engineering (SE) approach that spans requirements generation, architectural trade studies, performance attribute engineering, system analysis, simulation, design, integration, and testing. You will be innovating not only on product implementation of advanced robotic technologies, but you will also be helping with new approaches to the emergent systems engineering discipline at Boston Dynamics.
How you will make an impact:
Be a requirements champion! Solicit requirements from stakeholders and subject-matter experts. Derive system requirements from stakeholder requirements. Perform analysis and experimentation to ensure requirements are properly parameterized. Facilitate requirement approval and change management.
Utilize Jama to document and support the evolving systems team needs. Support integration and functionality with other tools to ensure a single source of truth without the need for redundant data entry
Help develop a compatible set of performance targets, including safety, user experience, reliability, robustness, cost, package, manufacturability, and numerous functional attributes. Facilitate activities that accelerate product design convergence to these targets.
Assist with development, documentation, and maintenance of a cohesive product architecture: functional, physical, and the allocation of functional to physical derived from the Concept of Operations Assist with development of right-weight Systems Engineering approach that best helps the team deliver an exceptional product within project constraints. Educate others on systems engineering benefits and methodology,
Support system trade studies, DFMEA execution and program technical reviews.
Develop and maintain system interface control documents.
Ensure requirements are well organized within the appropriate databases, traced to design documents, verification plans, verification results, and potentially other entities of interest.
Assist with requirement verification and validation activities as well as tracking and reporting progress.
Required Skills & Experience:
Exceptional written & verbal communication, interpersonal skills, collaboration, and conflict resolution.
5+ years of experience systems engineering (requirements management, verification and validation) of complex mechatronic systems
Experience working with a specialized requirements management tool. Expertise in both Jama and Jira is especially helpful.
BS in engineering (Robotics, Computers, Software, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or similar)
Desired Skills & Experience:
Reliability & robustness engineering methodologies, including boundary and parameter diagramming, DFMEA, DVP&R, root cause analysis, statistical methods.
Authoring, reviewing, and approving a wide variety of requirements.
Safety-critical system development.
Mobile robotics, robotic manipulation, grasping, perception technologies, and walking robots.
Working in automotive manufacturing and assembly plants.
Certification in Systems Engineering.
Experience with the development and documentation of product development processes, methods, and tool integration.
We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas for this position.
