Hardware Systems Engineer, VOS
Hardware Systems Engineer owning system, hardware, and EE requirements decomposition from vehicle-level specs for Applied Intuition's Vehicle OS product. Defines EE architecture for HIL test benches/rigs, maintains MBSE models in Cameo, ensures ASPICE/ISO 26262 traceability and compliance. Requires 3+ years systems engineering experience and strong EE understanding; no hands-on PCB/schematic work.
About the job
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.
