  • Manage VnV Lifecycle Management: Ability to own the outcome of the system, ensuring comprehensive test coverage from component to system level. Experience executing sensor test frameworks that incorporate metrics from downstream SW algorithms.
  • Work in Cross-Functional Leadership: Exceptional skill in navigating matrixed environments, distinguishing between component, subsystem, and system responsibilities, and driving consensus across HW, SW, and Safety teams.
    • Qualifications
  • 10+ years of experience in Hardware Systems Engineering within complex, safety-critical industries (Automotive, Robotics, Aerospace).
  • 5+ years of people management experience, specifically managing other managers or team leads.
  • Demonstrated success in defining and executing the Systems Engineering V-Model, with a track record of connecting high-level product requirements to concrete engineering specifications.
  • Experience managing system validation strategies, system integration testing, and closing the loop on field/test regressions.
  • Proven ability to create and organize engineering workflows to drive organizational clarity.
    • Bonus Qualifications
  • Simulation & Modeling: Exposure to 3D simulation environments and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) workflows.
  • Functional Safety Knowledge: Familiarity with ISO 26262 and SOTIF standards.
  • Automotive Testing Methodologies: Familiarity with automotive test standards.
