About the role

As a Systems Engineer on our Embedded Systems team, you'll own that translation. Our overarching systems and safety group defines the vehicle-level safety concept — the hazard analysis, the safety goals, the functional safety concept. You'll be their embedded counterpart: taking that concept and decomposing it into an embedded architecture and technical safety requirements that our electrical engineering and embedded software groups can build against.

What they're looking for

  • Enough range to read a schematic and reason about embedded C/C++/Rust, so your hardware/software partitioning is grounded in what each side can actually implement
  • AV, ADAS, or other complex safety-critical domain experience
