About The Position

The 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. The role develops and maintains 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, and hardware/software allocation.

The engineer defines and documents system boundaries, interfaces, dependencies, assumptions, and interactions, and maps vehicle functions to the systems, hardware, software, sensors, actuators, communications, and interfaces that implement them. The role supports development and maintenance of interface-control information and functional and physical architecture, and works with the safety engineer to provide design information for mapping identified hazards and safety requirements into the system architecture.

The engineer works directly with third-party suppliers to obtain and integrate component and subsystem architecture and interfaces, functional and failure behavior, safety mechanisms, assumptions and dependencies, and supplier safety analyses and safety-case information. The role also identifies gaps or inconsistencies between supplier information and the vehicle-level architecture.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of systems integration experience; preferably 5 or more years.
• Experience with complex embedded, electromechanical, autonomous, or distributed-control systems.
• B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering.
• U.S. citizen or Green Card holder.

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting FMEA/FMECA.
• Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, defense ground vehicles, or safety-critical embedded systems.
• INCOSE certification (ASEP/CSEP/ESEP) or demonstrated equivalent systems-engineering experience.

Responsibilities
