Fort Worth, TX .

What you’ll do

Establish model-based system engineering (MBSE) and methodologies for requirements management, allocating functional and performance requirements and ensuring they cascade to stakeholders and abstraction levels.

Provide comprehensive systems expertise in integrating and revising architecture, ensuring new configurations work as expected.

Write test cases and execute systems integration tests at various abstraction levels such as Hardware in Loop (HiL) and Vehicle in Loop (ViL).

Manage requirements across the V-cycle, establishing traceability with product, design, performance, implementation, hardware, software, and verification & validation teams.

Collaborate with internal hardware and software teams and external vendors to ensure requirements are consistently met.

Hands‑on vehicle bring‑up of in‑house high‑compute ECUs and full autonomy sensor suite for data collection and logging.

Build, implement, and run test benches with proprietary or industry‑standard tools to evaluate, document, and identify problems with hardware‑software integration.

Identify and work with cross‑functional partners to root cause and resolve issues, driving debugging of HW/SW problems to closure.

Implement systems engineering processes cross‑functionally, including review & support of requirements and evaluation of architecture robustness.

Inform system design decisions across hardware, software, and other functional blocks of the AV systems according to established industry standards and best practices.

Triage system software bugs & defects, investigate perceived issues, escalating when appropriate and driving to resolution.

Update and suggest changes to upstream processes and/or code after root‑cause investigation in collaboration with domain SMEs.

Establish and lead end‑to‑end automation of manual tests, developing KPIs, metrics, and quality benchmarks to support statistical validation.

Work closely with software developers, systems engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure design and implementation are in sync.

Coordinate with internal teams and engineering vendors to ensure timely delivery of exceptional quality work products.

What we’re looking for

Master’s or PhD in MechE, EE, Systems, Reliability, Stats/Math, or a related field.

5+ years experience writing and managing requirements for complex systems with hardware and software aspects.

Experience with requirements management and model‑based systems engineering tools such as Jama, SysML, ANSYS Medini, DOORS, etc.

Deep technical experience with complex, safety‑critical systems following SE best practices.

Hands‑on experience with latest AV technologies and debugging complex systems involving sensors, compute, networking, etc., that interface with vehicle subsystems.

Experience designing and deploying test setups on the bench, HiL, and/or the vehicle.

Ability to communicate effectively with subject matter experts for deriving and capturing requirements.

Excellent organization skills in helping cross‑disciplinary teams collaborate, communicate, and deliver together.

Hands‑on experience applying systems standards such as IEEE 29148, ISO 15288, 42010, IEC 24748, and functional safety IEC 61508, ISO 26262, DO178 or similar, and behavioral standards ISO 21448 or similar.

Experience validating systems per industry standards and best practices for performance and safety such as ISO, IEC, FMVSS, SAE, AVSC, UL, etc.

Performed hazard analysis using methods such as STPA, FTA, FMEA, HAZOP, FHA, or equivalents.

Deep understanding of vehicle system architectures and autonomous systems that meet world‑leading AV standards.

Relevant certifications in FuSa, SOTIF, CySe, Systems Engineering or equivalent.
