Systems Architecture, Integration & Test Engineer (Electrical and/or Software)

Join our team as a Systems Architecture, Integration, and Test Engineer for cutting-edge autonomous vessels. In this pivotal role, you will ensure the reliability and integration of electrical and software systems that enable autonomy, control, and communications. You will lead efforts in electrical architecture design, software- and hardware-in-the-loop verification, and failure mode analysis for electronics and embedded systems. Your expertise will be crucial in advancing the future of autonomous vessels.

• Lead electrical and software system integration efforts, ensuring aspects such as signal integrity, power management, communication protocols, and autonomy behavior meet design intent and system requirements.
• Define and maintain system-level electrical and software interface requirements, ensuring clarity across design teams, and help develop and execute integration and validation test plans.
• Collaborate closely with mission operations, design engineers, and other stakeholders to collect, analyze, and interpret in-field or post-deployment data, feeding results back into design iterations.
• Ability to travel as needed
• Coding and software development experience, such as in Python, Java, C++, or similar
• Requirementdecomposition experience for both hardware and software
• Experience working on advanced hardware systems, autonomous systems, complex electronics systems, or similar
• Familiarity with industry processes, standards, and guides, such as MIL-STDs, ABS Rules, ABYC, COLREGs, ISO, NASA, IEC, IEEE, and similar
• Experience architecting and designing test campaigns (subsystem level to the vehicle/vessel/product level) as well as creating & executing test plans
• Experience with failure analysis, root cause analysis methodologies, corrective action management, and risk management
• Bachelor’s degree or greater in Mechanical, Aerospace, Industrial, Systems, Software, Computer, Electrical Engineering, or similar
• Hands on test engineering experience including data collection, analysis, and closing feedback loops to improve designs & outcomes
• Experience developing tools, guides, and engineering solutions in Palantir Foundry
• Experience with requirements management tools such as Jama, DOORS, Innoslate, 3DX, Cameo, Flow, or similar
• Experience with analysis tools such as MATLAB, Excel, ANSYS, FEMAP, etc
• Modeling/CAD Experience
• HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing), environmental testing, mechanical/loads testing, electrical testing and/or debugging, software testing and/or debugging
• Technical writing experience developing standards, specifications, user guides, or similar
• This job posting is intended for candidates at all levels, including Sr, Staff, etc., and generally requires at a minimum 2+ years of industry experience as a Design Engineer, Development Engineer, Test Engineer, Systems Engineer, Reliability Engineer, or similar
• We know great people don’t always check every box. We also know that confidence gaps and imposter syndrome can hold great people back. If you’re excited about the work we’re doing but you don’t meet every qualification, we still want to hear from you
• Your unique experience and perspective might be exactly what our team needs, so we encourage you to apply anyway!
