We are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end-to-end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.
What you’ll be doing
As a systems engineer, you are responsible for ensuring that our robot is designed to operate safely and satisfy market/customer needs. You will own the decomposition of requirements and specifications for an autonomous-ready mobile robot. You will serve as the glue of the organization, working across many teams and disciplines to help orchestrate the development of a complex system by breaking high-level goals down into actionable information across various functions.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead interdisciplinary teams to decompose system functions, behaviors, and features into actionable engineering requirements and specifications for an autonomous mobile robot
- Facilitate the development of actionable metrics to evaluate the performance of components, subsystems, and systems throughout the robot, both in the lab and in the field
- Develop frameworks and facilitate trade studies to optimize system and subsystem designs for performance, safety, and cost, particularly negotiating between hardware and software to find the best design solution
- Lead interdisciplinary teams through complex root-cause analysis and resolution in which there are many possible root causes that involve various areas of engineering, using a structured approach for problem solving
- Work closely with other systems engineers to define verification & validation plans that ensure the delivery of a safe and responsible autonomous product
Qualifications
- B.S., M.S., or Ph.D in Mechanical, Electrical, Software or equivalent engineering field
- 5+ years of experience in the design and analysis of complex electromechanical and/or robotic systems
- Experience in systems engineering and requirements management including systems analysis, requirements decomposition, and verification & validation
- Experience in data analysis of test results including probability and statistical analysis techniques
- Hands-on approach to the test and debugging of electromechanical systems
- Fundamental knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for audiences ranging from technicians to senior executives
What makes you standout
- Experience in one or more of the following industries: automotive, medical, aerospace, robotics
- Experience in autonomous systems and/or mobile robotics
- Experience working in Unix/Linux environments
