Job Overview
The Systems Engineering team is seeking a versatile Systems Engineer to own the end-to-end definition, integration, and architecture of ADAS features, teleoperation systems for remotely operated military/tactical vehicles, and core Electric Vehicle (EV) platform architectures.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between autonomous perception, remote command tele operation, and high-voltage EV powertrains. You will lead the systems engineering lifecycle from defining customer use cases and sensor/communication architectures to managing Functional Safety (ISO 26262), cybersecurity, and vehicle-level validation across all Harbinger platforms.
What you will do:
- Define and adapt high-level requirements and use cases for core ADAS features for Harbinger vehicles to support military and teleoperation vehicles.
- Develop logical and physical system architectures showing interactions between sensors, controllers and physical systems.
- Architect robust, low-latency teleoperation pipelines for remotely operated military and dual-use vehicles, including video streaming, remote steering/throttling, and operator control unit (OCU) interfaces.
- Define fail-safe and fail-operational fallback modes for teleoperation links during signal degradation, electronic countermeasures, or network latency spikes.
- Lead Functional Safety and Cybersecurity analysis and work product creation at the concept and system level for relevant functions.
- Decompose vehicle-level requirements and the PDL into system, component and interface requirements using our requirement management tool, Flow Engineering.
- Define the DVP&R (Design Verification Plan) for ADAS features.
- Oversee testing from SIL to HIL and proving ground track testing.
- Analyze test data to fine tune sensitivity thresholds and calibrations to balance safety and false positive detection and remote link stability.
Who you are:
- Possess a Bachelor's degree or other relevant educational credential.
- 5+ years of experience in automotive systems engineering.
- Hands-on experience with ISO 26262 Functional Safety.
- Experience with Matlab/Simulink control logic.
- Knowledge of industry standards and best practices related to ADAS and teleoperated/unmanned ground vehicles
- Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to effectively communicate and collaborate within a dynamic team environment
- Comprehensive Health, Dental & Vision (HDV) – 100% employee covered
- Early-stage Stock Options
- Robust Retirement Savings (401k, HSA, FSA)
- Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) & Parental Leave
- Annual Vacation Bonus
- Wellness & Fertility Benefits
- Cell Phone Stipend
- Complimentary Meals & Stocked Kitchens
