Staff Systems Engineer

Summary

Join Stack, a company developing revolutionary AI and autonomous systems for the trucking industry, as a Systems Engineer. You will contribute to the development of safe and reliable self-driving systems for autonomous trucks, focusing on perception, pose estimation, decision making, and motion control. This role involves working with cross-functional teams to develop detailed safety and functional engineering requirements, analyze system designs, and develop test strategies. You will also contribute to the safety case for the complete system and provide guidance to the broader product development organization. The ideal candidate possesses strong systems and safety engineering expertise, experience with autonomous vehicle technologies, and a detail-oriented approach. This position requires a high degree of engineering rigor and collaboration within a fast-paced environment.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience working across highly cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment while maintaining a high degree of engineering rigor
• Exposure to, and familiarity with, software engineering across the full lifecycle, including software requirements development, software design, implementation, and unit & integration testing. Prior experience developing software or working closely with software teams
• Ability to constructively and critically critique software requirements, designs, implementations, analysis, and software test plans and results
• Experience conducting safety analyses such as Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessments (HARAs), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Experience conducting root cause analysis to determine underlying causes of issues and faults
• Work products are developed in a detail-oriented and quantitative approach
• Clear, concise communication of technical topics
• Working knowledge of safety standards applicable to on-road autonomy such as ISO-26262, ISO 21448 (SOTIF), UL 4600, or equivalent

Responsibilities

• Work with product stakeholders to understand product requirements necessary for a commercially successful product, and help develop detailed safety and functional engineering requirements that will result in a system that meets the necessary product objectives to be successful in the market
• Contribute to the development of the safety case for the complete system, and help ensure it is comprehensive and complete
• Provide guidance, subject matter expertise, and mentorship to the broader product development organization on systems and safety engineering topics
• Analyze system, software, and hardware designs, from holistic system design, hazard analysis, and system safety standpoints
• Identify and implement methodologies for discovery of new/unique behavior scenarios from test data
• Develop and guide simulation scenario test case development for evaluating system performance and behavior

Preferred Qualifications

• A background or exposure to autonomous vehicle autonomy technologies and components is appreciated
• Experience applying ISO 21448, Safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF) is appreciated but not required
