POSITION: Systems Engineer II

 JOB DESCRIPTION: Responsible for functional-safety engineering and systems analysis activities supporting the development and commercialization of an autonomous truck platform. Define and validate safety goals, develop safety architectures, conduct safety analyses, and coordinate across multidisciplinary hardware and software teams to establish a complete functional-safety case in accordance with ISO 26262 and ISO 21448 (SOTIF) standards. Contribute to both prototype and production phases of embedded compute, perception, and actuation subsystems. Support vehicle-level Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessments (HARA) and derive safety goals, ASIL classifications, and functional-safety concepts for perception, compute, and actuation domains. Develop and maintain Technical Safety Concepts (TSC), including hardware and software safety architectures for autonomous-drive kits. Conduct Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA), System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) and related inductive/deductive analyses for Autonomous Driving Kit. Lead design and verification reviews to ensure compliance with ISO 26262 Parts 3-9; create and review safety work products (item definition, safety plan, safety requirements, and FMEDA reports). Collaborate with Tier-1 suppliers and internal component-enablement teams to evaluate hardware design safety mechanisms and diagnostic coverage for LiDAR, radar, camera, IMU, and data-logger subsystems. Develop and trace safety requirements in Jama, maintaining full bidirectional traceability between requirements, architecture, and test results. Support verification and validation (V&V) planning and define safety test cases to confirm system compliance with allocated safety requirements. Prepare and present safety-case documentation, design reviews, and assessment packages to internal and external assessors. Apply SOTIF and advanced-driver-assistance (ADAS / AD) safety principles to Level-4 autonomous applications. Coordinate cross-functional discussions with systems, software, electrical, and mechanical engineers distributed across global teams and time zones.

Minimum Requirements: Master's degree in Automotive Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field and 2 years of experience in functional-safety engineering within the automotive domain. Must have experience with each of the following: ISO 26262 work-product development (FSC, TSC, HW, SW, HARA, FMEDA, FMEA, FTA); functional-safety tools such as Jama, DOORS, Medini Analyze, Isograph, Polarion, or MATLAB/Simulink; hardware and software safety analyses for Autonomous or advanced-driver-assistance (ADAS) systems; system-safety analysis methods (HARA, HAZOP, STPA); experience with safety analysis (HAZOP, HARA, STPA FSC, TSC, FMEDA, FMEA, FTA) of autonomous or advanced-driver-assistance (ADAS) systems; and ISO 21448 (SOTIF) and cybersecurity standards (ISO/SAE 21434).

Alternative Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Automotive Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field and 5 years of experience in functional-safety engineering within the automotive domain. Must have experience with each of the following: ISO 26262 work-product development (FSC, TSC, HW, SW, HARA, FMEDA, FMEA, FTA); functional-safety tools such as Jama, DOORS, Medini Analyze, Isograph, Polarion, or MATLAB/Simulink; hardware and software safety analyses for Autonomous or advanced-driver-assistance (ADAS) systems; system-safety analysis methods (HARA, HAZOP, STPA); experience with safety analysis (HAZOP, HARA, STPA FSC, TSC, FMEDA, FMEA, FTA) of autonomous or advanced-driver-assistance (ADAS) systems; and ISO 21448 (SOTIF) and cybersecurity standards (ISO/SAE 21434).

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
