Responsibilities

Lead electrical and software system integration efforts, and work cross-functionally to ensure aspects such as signal integrity, power management, communication protocols, and autonomy behavior meets design intent and system requirements (design criteria)

Define and maintain system-level electrical and software interface requirements using Jama and internal tools, ensuring clarity across design teams

Help develop and execute integration and validation test plans for electrical subsystems, software-in-the-loop (SIL), and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing

Define and execute electrical reliability tests (e.g., EMI/EMC, power cycling, thermal stress) to validate robustness and fault tolerance

Support root cause investigations for electrical and software-related failures, coordinating corrective actions and preventive measures

Lead technical reviews related to system interfaces, electrical integration, and software verification results, ensuring feedback is integrated into design updates

Mentor other engineers in best practices for electrical and software reliability, including fault-tolerant design, redundancy, and diagnostic coverage

Define top-down use cases, system architecture, and design reference missions for products alongside product architects and responsible engineers

Define, document, and maintain system requirements (design criteria) using Jama and in-house developed tools/environments

Work closely with engineering teams to ensure requirements are accurately interpreted and implemented

Maintain up-to-date technical documentation for system requirements, testing requirements, verification and validation

Clearly articulate technical information to stakeholders at all levels, ensuring alignment of objectives across engineering, software, and mission operations

Participate in systems engineering activities including concept development, system design, integration, and testing

Develop, own, and execute subsystem- and system-level verification and validation (V&V) plans to ensure designs meet functional, performance, autonomy, reliability, and safety requirements

Define test objectives, configurations, procedures, and success criteria for subsystem and full-system integration tests

Lead root cause analysis/failure investigation, and corrective action for issues found during R&D and qualification testing alongside the development, quality, and test teams

Develop and maintain internal data analysis and visualization tools to streamline test reporting and decision-making

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

Work with hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) engineers to architect verification & test campaigns and execute subsystem- and system-level testing

Help drive the development of internal tools, guides, calculators, or similar via Palantir Foundry, Confluence, Excel, or similar

Support the engineering design cycle process as a subject matter expert to ensure teams adhere to our hardware design best practices, and analysis best practices
