Systems Engineer, TeleOps

Location: Garden Grove, CA

Department: 390 Systems Engineering

Job Overview

The Systems Engineering team is seeking a versatile Systems Engineer to own the end-to-end definition, integration, and architecture of ADAS features, teleoperation systems for remotely operated military/tactical vehicles, and core Electric Vehicle (EV) platform architectures.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between autonomous perception, remote command tele operation, and high-voltage EV powertrains. You will lead the systems engineering lifecycle from defining customer use cases and sensor/communication architectures to managing Functional Safety (ISO 26262), cybersecurity, and vehicle-level validation across all Harbinger platforms.

What you will do:

• Define and adapt high-level requirements and use cases for core ADAS features for Harbinger vehicles to support military and teleoperation vehicles. 
• Develop logical and physical system architectures showing interactions between sensors, controllers and physical systems.
• Architect robust, low-latency teleoperation pipelines for remotely operated military and dual-use vehicles, including video streaming, remote steering/throttling, and operator control unit (OCU) interfaces.
• Define fail-safe and fail-operational fallback modes for teleoperation links during signal degradation, electronic countermeasures, or network latency spikes.
• Lead Functional Safety and Cybersecurity analysis and work product creation at the concept and system level for relevant functions. 
• Decompose vehicle-level requirements and the PDL into system, component and interface requirements using our requirement management tool, Flow Engineering.
• Define the DVP&R (Design Verification Plan) for ADAS features.
• Oversee testing from SIL to HIL and proving ground track testing.
• Analyze test data to fine tune sensitivity thresholds and calibrations to balance safety and false positive detection and remote link stability. 

Who you are:

• Possess a Bachelor's degree or other relevant educational credential. 
• 5+ years of experience in automotive systems engineering. 
• Hands-on experience with ISO 26262 Functional Safety. 
• Experience with Matlab/Simulink control logic. 
• Knowledge of industry standards and best practices related to ADAS and teleoperated/unmanned ground vehicles 
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to effectively communicate and collaborate within a dynamic team environment
