Summary
Systems engineer for autonomy/robotics: defines system requirements and architectures, builds systems-engineering models, deploys and validates software on autonomous vehicles, and optimizes perception and inter-vehicle communication using simulation. Core stack: Linux, Python/C++, robotics sensors/autopilots, DDS/ROS 2.
You will define requirements and system architectures, build reference architectures, and create systems-engineering models. You will deploy, test, and validate software on autonomous vehicles; optimize perception and autonomy pipelines; support inter-vehicle communications; use simulation; and document system deployment and improvements.
