About Forterra At Forterra, we are unleashing autonomy at scale to transform the battlefield. Backed by SoftBank VF.
About the role
The Vehicle Controls team is looking for a Systems Architect to take ownership of systems architecture, requirements, and integration/test work on our vehicle platforms. This is a true cross-disciplinary systems engineering role: you'll need enough depth in mechanical, electrical, and software engineering to hold your own in a technical conversation with specialists in any of those areas, while spending most of your time on the vehicle — integrating commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) actuation and sensing systems,...
What they're looking for
- Own high systems architecture for vehicle subsystems, defining how mechanical, electrical, and software components interact
- Work with internal and external customers to understand requirements and tradeoffs for overall system design decisions
- Collaborate with hardware and software leads to mature and develop detailed hardware and software architectures
- Write, maintain, and trace system and subsystem requirements through integration and test
- Author and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Interface description documents, and other systems engineering artifacts to support development and safety analysis
- Work with design and development teams to integrate custom and COTS actuation and sensing systems onto vehicle platforms, and design unique actuation or sensing solutions when no suitable existing options exists
