- Experience authoring system requirements for a vehicle, robotics, or comparable hardware and software system, including decomposition to subsystems, allocation, and traceability to verification
- Experience writing and maintaining interface control documents, or equivalent interface specifications, between hardware and software subsystems
- Working experience with a requirements management tool such as Jama, DOORS, or Polarion, including configuring its structure, attributes, and traceability
- Experience writing verification plans and acceptance criteria and confirming test results against requirements
- Working knowledge of vehicle networks and interfaces, including CAN, and CAN FD, and Automotive Ethernet, and of sensor and compute interfaces and time synchronization
