About the role:
The VHM & Diagnostics team is looking for an experienced systems engineer who can lead the requirements specification and architectural design of diagnostics for the autonomous driving system. This position will be a great opportunity for someone with experience in existing diagnostic concepts in automotive or other safety-critical applications to apply their knowledge to the autonomous vehicle space.
Day-to-day responsibilities include:
- Drive discussions with SW, embedded, and HW engineering teams to develop the overall diagnostic architecture.
- Generate requirements for the health management system including detection and mitigation mechanisms needed to ensure the functional safety of the vehicle.
- Develop diagnostic strategies at all layers of implementation from autonomous SW applications (mapping, planning, perception, etc.) down to HW components (CPU/GPU, memory, I/O buses, etc.).
- Develop Concept of Operations for new projects describing the use-cases for diagnostics during the entire lifecycle of the autonomous driving system from manufacturing to decommissioning.
- Perform analysis or simulation to determine timing and other performance metrics for the diagnostic functions in order to meet vehicle-level hazard metrics.
You should apply for this role if you have the following qualifications:
- 5-7 years experience minimum in Systems, Integration, or SW/HW engineering working on safety and time-critical products (automotive, aerospace, industrial, robotics, etc.)
- Specific knowledge of and experience with developing diagnostic and safety systems for these products
