Systems Engineer – AD-Kit Components

Location: Ann Arbor, MI

Department: Compute Platform

Meet the Team:

Join the Autonomous Driving Kit (AD-Kit) Systems Team, where we design, source, develop, build, and deliver a highly scalable Autonomous Driving Kit (AD-Kit) system. Your role will make a significant impact on the future of trucking and autonomous technology as we look to Drive the Future of Freight. We are currently seeking a System Engineer who is enthusiastic about systems engineering and autonomy compute systems. This work is aligned to best-in-class functional safety and cybersecurity standards.

What you'll do:

We are looking for a dynamic Systems Engineer who will bring new ideas and optimizations to the AD-Kit Systems Team. The Systems Engineer owns and drives the technical direction of key aspects of the AD-Kit System. The team is responsible for authoring, maintaining and analyzing technical requirements, and working across the product lifecycle to ensure stakeholder alignment and successful bring-up, testing, validation and integration of the AD-Kit System. This includes, but is not limited to, embedded computes, data logging, power distribution, smart antenna, and all sensor modalities (radar, LiDAR, camera, microphone, etc).

• Develop system requirements that meet functional safety and security standards.
• Maintain requirements databases using Jama, ensuring accuracy and traceability.
• Partner with the Product team to interpret product-level requirements and decompose into detailed autonomy system requirements.
• Support the development of AD-Kit System functional architecture.
• Develop AD-Kit System integration and test plans.
• Stay up to date with the latest industry trends, technologies, and best practices and champion this with others in the group.
• Perform problem-solving activities during design, prototype, and production, driving root cause analysis and problem resolution.
