Hardware Systems Engineer, VOS

Responsibilities

• Decompose and allocate vehicle-level requirements into system-, hardware-, and EE-level requirements; define system bounds, capabilities, and functional features.
• Convert customer needs and autonomy/Vehicle OS use cases into system and hardware requirements and operational objectives.
• Ensure the built system meets its intended requirements and keep requirements current as vehicle-level requirements evolve.
• Define the electrical and electronics (EE) architecture for test benches and rigs, including HIL rigs and bench setups.
• Specify power distribution, wiring and harnessing, signal interfaces, instrumentation, data acquisition (DAQ), sensor/actuator emulation, and safety interlocks for benches and rigs.
• Capture bench and rig requirements and interfaces; partner with teams that build and maintain them.
• Use Cameo (MBSE/SysML) to build, maintain, and analyze the functional and logical architecture, and define variant management for Vehicle OS products.
• Own validation and verification of requirements at both the system and hardware level.
• Maintain end-to-end traceability across user journeys, features, system requirements, subsystem/hardware/EE requirements, bench and rig definitions, and test cases.
• Define processes for ASPICE Level 2 compliance; partner with QA to meet ISO 26262 functional safety; configure Polarion and Cameo for compliant processes.
• Work daily with hardware, embedded, perception, and autonomy software teams to provide requirements guidance.
• Coordinate with test, validation, and lab teams to align bench and rig capability with verification needs.

Requirements

• 3+ years of systems or hardware systems engineering experience covering requirements, functional decomposition and allocation, analysis, and verification.
• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience deriving and allocating requirements from higher-level (e.g., vehicle-level) requirements.
• Working understanding of EE systems - power, wiring and harnessing, signal interfaces, instrumentation, and DAQ - sufficient to define test benches and rigs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice-to-Haves

• Familiarity with software safety analyses (SW-FTA, SW-FMEA) or software safety case development.
• Familiarity with software tool classification and qualification activities per ISO 26262 Part 8.
• Experience across multiple vehicle domains (ADAS, propulsion, chassis, or body electronics) with understanding of domain-specific safety challenges.
• Exposure to ASPICE software process assessments alongside ISO 26262.
• Experience working with third-party assessors through product assessment or audit cycles.
