Senior Systems Engineer

Duties and Responsibilities

• Provide comprehensive systems engineering leadership across the full lifecycle, from concept through deployment.
• Develop and maintain system models using MBSE tools to define, analyze, and verify architectures in accordance with MOSA principles.
• Lead requirements development, allocation, traceability, and verification/validation activities to ensure compliance with customer and regulatory requirements.
•  Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to integrate hardware and software components into cohesive robotic systems.
•  Guide robotic system development with a fundamental understanding of how and why the components of a system work together to achieve an operational goal.
•  Support safety engineering activities including hazard analyses, FMEAs, and safety case development for autonomous systems.
•  Coordinate and lead cross-disciplinary integration activities across mechanical, electrical, software, and autonomy teams, ensuring interfaces are well-defined and validated.
•  Guide and mentor team members in systems engineering best practices, tool usage, and process improvement.

Qualifications

• A passion for designing complex industrial and autonomous systems
•  Minimum 5+ years of experience in heavy industrial equipment, autonomous vehicle development, or robotics
•  Demonstrated experience acting as a systems engineer or integration lead on multi-disciplinary projects
•  Practical experience developing and managing requirements, traceability, and verification plans
•  Hands-on experience with MBSE methodologies and tools (e.g., Cameo/MagicDraw or similar).
•  Knowledge of MOSA principles and ability to architect modular, extensible systems.
•  Experience supporting safety activities for automated systems, such as hazard analyses and DFMEAs
•  Willing and eager to get your hands dirty building and debugging prototype systems
•  A relevant Engineering Degree(s), such as Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, etc. Advanced degrees are a plus
