About Forterra At Forterra, we are unleashing autonomy at scale to transform the battlefield. Backed by SoftBank VF.
About the role
Forterra is looking for a Software Systems Engineer to define and integrate the requirements, architecture, interfaces, and verification approach for safety critical embedded software supporting autonomous ground vehicles. This is an individual contributor role that works across software, systems, test, and safety engineering. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Derive, refine, and maintain system and software requirements for safety critical embedded functions
- Break system functions into implementable software responsibilities and support functional allocation across system elements
- Define interfaces, data flows, operating modes, fault behavior, and assumptions for embedded software components
- Maintain the relationship between hazards, safety goals, mitigations, requirements, architecture, and verification evidence through requirements traceability
- Review software and system designs for completeness, consistency, testability, diagnosability, and safe behavior under faults and abnormal conditions
- Work with software and test engineers to establish verification methods, resolve requirement issues, and assess coverage and evidence

About the role
Forterra is looking for a Software Systems Engineer to define and integrate the requirements, architecture, interfaces, and verification approach for safety critical embedded software supporting autonomous ground vehicles. This is an individual contributor role that works across software, systems, test, and safety engineering. You will turn operational and safety needs into implementable requirements and interfaces, maintain the technical thread through verification, and help the team understand how the software will behave, integrate, and perform across multiple platforms
Someone who can connect system intent to implementation. You should be comfortable moving between functions, requirements, interfaces, architecture, software behavior, and verification evidence. The role requires enough technical depth to work directly with embedded software teams and enough systems perspective to see how decisions affect the larger vehicle and safety case.
What you'll do
- Derive, refine, and maintain system and software requirements for safety critical embedded functions.
- Break system functions into implementable software responsibilities and support functional allocation...
