Software Systems Engineer, Safety Critical Embedded Systems

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Derive, refine, and maintain system and software requirements for safety critical embedded functions.
• Break system functions into implementable software responsibilities and support functional allocation across system elements.
• Define interfaces, data flows, operating modes, fault behavior, and assumptions for embedded software components.
• Maintain the relationship between hazards, safety goals, mitigations, requirements, architecture, and verification evidence through requirements traceability.
• Review software and system designs for completeness, consistency, testability, diagnosability, and safe behavior under faults and abnormal conditions.
• Work with software and test engineers to establish verification methods, resolve requirement issues, and assess coverage and evidence.
• Support architecture reviews, requirements reviews, technical baseline reviews, integration reviews, and customer reviews with clear technical analysis and documentation.
• Work across development, test, safety, and program teams to resolve cross component issues and maintain a reusable platform baseline.

Job requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. Equivalent experience may be considered.
• Five or more years of systems engineering experience with complex embedded, autonomous, automotive, aerospace, defense, or industrial systems.
• Hands on experience developing and managing system or software requirements, including requirements traceability and clear verification criteria.
• Experience with functional decomposition, allocation, interface definition, and architecture development for embedded systems.
• Working technical knowledge of embedded software, including C or C++, RTOS concepts, communications, and hardware and software interfaces.
• Experience using requirements or architecture tools such as Jama, DOORS, SysML, UML, or comparable tools.
• Familiarity with verification planning, integration, anomaly resolution, and technical evidence for customer or program reviews.
• Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical relationships clearly
