Systems Engineer

Who you are

• 5+ years of systems engineering experience in autonomous vehicles (AVs), robotics, Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), or EV/automotive vehicle platforms
• Hands-on background architecting or integrating low-latency teleoperation pipelines, real-time video/telemetry streaming, or Operator Control Unit (OCU) interfaces
• Knowledge of vehicle safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262, MIL-STD-882, or UL 4600) and experience designing safe fallback modes for degraded RF, cellular, or high-latency links
• Experience with control logic modeling (MATLAB/Simulink, C++, or ROS/ROS2), vehicle network protocols (CAN/Ethernet), and requirement management platforms
• Bachelor’s degree in Systems, Robotics, Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering (or equivalent practical experience)

What the job involves

• The Systems Engineering team is seeking a versatile Systems Engineer to own the end-to-end definition, integration, and architecture of ADAS features, teleoperation systems for remotely operated military/tactical vehicles, and core Electric Vehicle (EV) platform architectures
• In this role, you will bridge the gap between autonomous perception, remote command teleoperation, and high-voltage EV powertrains
• You will lead the systems engineering lifecycle from defining customer use cases and sensor/communication architectures to managing Functional Safety (ISO 26262), cybersecurity, and vehicle-level validation across all Harbinger platforms
• Architect Teleoperation & Control Pipelines: Design low-latency teleoperation pipelines, video streaming architectures, and Operator Control Unit (OCU) interfaces for remotely operated and dual-use vehicles
• Design Safe Fallback Modes: Define fail-safe and fail-operational fallback behaviors during signal degradation, electronic countermeasures, or high-latency events, embedding core Functional Safety and cybersecurity controls
• Decompose Vehicle Requirements: Translate vehicle-level use cases and ADAS feature goals into clear system, component, and interface requirements using our requirement management platform (Flow Engineering)
• Lead Validation & Track Testing: Define the DVP&R and oversee validation across SIL, HIL, and proving ground track testing to optimize system stability, link reliability, and feature calibration
