Responsibilities
Define system and component level requirements through first principles analysis and hardware/model-based testing
Own system-level architecture and interface definitions (ICDs) across mechanical, electrical and other verticals
Prototype and characterize components and full systems to ensure target metrics are met
Design and develop early system prototypes to de-risk new technologies
Understand and highlight n-th order impacts of electrical, software, or process changes
Triage and debug hardware and software interactions during design, launch, and deployment
Be responsible for overall functional and performance readiness of a system and its features during the full product life cycle
Analyze the failure modes and complete full DFMEAs/HARAs to ensure a safe subsystem design
Define system-level test plans and acceptance criteria for integrated robot builds, from bench testing through field deployment
Qualifications
Degree in engineering or related field or, equivalent experience
5+ years of experience in systems engineering or a cross-disciplinary hardware role involving complex electromechanical or robotic products
Strong electrical and embedded systems fundamentals
Hands-on technical experience debugging complex subsystems involving network microprocessors and software-controlled electrical or electromechanical devices
Ability to read and interpret C/C++ or similar embedded systems languages
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Experience in MATLAB, Python, or equivalent tools for modeling and analysis
Proficient in data visualization
Experience in failure modes analysis, HARA and FTA
You are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part.
