About The Position

Join the Autonomous Driving Kit (AD-Kit) Systems Team, where we design, source, develop, build, and deliver a highly scalable Autonomous Driving Kit (AD-Kit) system. Your role will make a significant impact on the future of trucking and autonomous technology as we look to Drive the Future of Freight. We are currently seeking a System Engineer who is enthusiastic about systems engineering and autonomy compute systems. This work is aligned to best-in-class functional safety and cybersecurity standards. We are looking for an experienced and dynamic Systems Engineer who will bring new ideas, optimizations, and best practices to the AD-Kit Systems Team. The Systems Engineer owns and drives the technical direction of the vehicle architecture aspects of the AD-Kit System. The team is responsible for authoring, maintaining, and analyzing technical requirements, and working across the product lifecycle to ensure stakeholder alignment and successful bring-up, testing, validation, and integration of the AD-Kit System. This includes, but is not limited to, embedded computes, data logging, power distribution, smart antenna, and all sensor modalities (radar, LiDAR, camera, microphone, etc). Develop the core vehicle electrical hardware architecture for each vehicle program that meets functional safety and security standards. Lead collaboration with key stakeholders to ensure the architecture supports program requirements. Develop variations of architecture to support HIL needs. Stay up to date with the latest industry trends, technologies and best practices and champion this with others in the group. Perform problem-solving activities during design, prototype and production, driving root cause analysis and problem resolution.
