Systems Integration Engineer

Systems Integration Engineer ensures that complex, multi-component systems operate seamlessly by designing integration strategies, validating performance, and resolving interoperability challenges across hardware and software environments. 

• Develop and maintain system and subsystem architectural descriptions for an L4 autonomous off-highway vehicle, including: 
  • Physical hardware architecture
  • Compute hardware
  • Sensors and actuators
  • System and subsystem functions
  • Functional interfaces
  • Physical connectivity
  • Communication networks and protocols
  • Functional inputs and outputs
  • Hardware/software allocation
• Define and document system boundaries, interfaces, dependencies, assumptions, and interactions.
• Map vehicle functions to the systems, hardware, software, sensors, actuators, communications, and interfaces that implement them. 
• Support development and maintenance of interface-control information and functional/physical architecture.
• Work with the safety engineer to provide the design information necessary to map identified hazards and safety requirements into the actual system architecture.
• Work directly with third-party suppliers to obtain and integrate: 
  • Component/subsystem architecture and interfaces
  • Functional behavior
  • Failure behavior
  • Safety mechanisms
  • Assumptions and dependencies
  • Supplier safety analyses and safety-case information
• Identify gaps or inconsistencies between supplier information and the vehicle-level architecture.

Requirements

• 3-5 years of systems integration experience required. Preferably 5 or more. 
• Experience with complex embedded, electromechanical, autonomous, or distributed-control systems.  
• B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering. 
• Experience supporting FMEA/FMECA desirable. 
• Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, defense ground vehicles, or safety-critical embedded systems preferred.
• INCOSE certification (ASEP/CSEP/ESEP) or demonstrated equivalent systems-engineering experience preferred.
• US Citizen or Green Card holder
