Requirements

  • Lead electrical and software system integration efforts, and work cross-functionally to ensure aspects such as signal integrity, power management, communication protocols, and autonomy behavior meets design intent and system requirements (design criteria)
  • Define and maintain system-level electrical and software interface requirements using Jama and internal tools, ensuring clarity across design teams
  • Help develop and execute integration and validation test plans for electrical subsystems, software-in-the-loop (SIL), and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing
  • Define and execute electrical reliability tests (e.g., EMI/EMC, power cycling, thermal stress) to validate robustness and fault tolerance
  • Support root cause investigations for electrical and software-related failures, coordinating corrective actions and preventive measures
  • Lead technical reviews related to system interfaces, electrical integration, and software verification results, ensuring feedback is integrated into design updates
  • Mentor other engineers in best practices for electrical and software reliability, including fault-tolerant design, redundancy, and diagnostic coverage
  • Define top-down use cases, system architecture, and design reference missions for products alongside product architects and responsible engineers
  • Define, document, and maintain system requirements (design criteria) using Jama and in-house developed tools/environments
  • Work closely with engineering teams to ensure requirements are accurately interpreted and implemented
  • Maintain up-to-date technical documentation for system requirements, testing requirements, verification and validation
  • Clearly articulate technical information to stakeholders at all levels, ensuring alignment of objectives across engineering, software, and mission operations
  • Participate in systems engineering activities including concept development, system design, integration, and testing
  • Develop, own, and execute subsystem- and system-level verification and validation (V&V) plans to ensure designs meet functional, performance, autonomy, reliability, and safety requirements
  • Define test objectives, configurations
