About the role

  • Collaborate with feature systems engineers to define design objectives, functional requirements, and architectural decisions for driver engagement systems.
  • Develop and apply systematic, statistical methods to translate feature-level requirements into specific system performance expectations.
  • Define and develop performance requirements and associated metrics for perception systems, including establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for availability, accuracy, and false positive rates.
  • Evaluate a variety of perception interfaces, such as gaze and pose angle, and interior zones.
  • Work with vendors to measure system sensitivity to individual factors (e.g., height, seating position, facial attributes), vehicle characteristics (e.g., sensor packaging, interior geometry), and environmental conditions (e.g., ambient light, sun angle).
  • Explore and propose system architecture modifications to decrease application sensitivity.
  • Investigate and implement strategies to reduce sub-demographic systematic errors.
  • Partner with vendors and our hardware team to refine sensor and illuminator packaging requirements.
  • Design a validation strategy to quantify system robustness against interacting noise factors for both platform and application sign-off.
  • Define real-world usage profiles to estimate system performance for a representative population in naturalistic driving conditions.
  • Support root cause analysis for any field issues with cross-functional team.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • 3+ years of experience as a systems engineer (in automotive, aerospace, defense, or related industry) decomposing/authoring system/sub-system requirements
  • Proficiency in statistical analysis and experimental design
  • 3+ years of experience with perception systems
  • Strong communication skills and ability to lead ad-hoc teams
  • Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (even better)

  • 5+ years of experience delivering production hardware/embedded software (even better)
  • Understanding of functional safety (ISO 26262) and SOTIF standards and processes (even better)
  • Experience with systems modeling and/or requirements management tools (SysML/MagicDraw, Polarion, JAMA, DOORS, etc.) and failure mode analysis techniques (even better).
Benefits
  • Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage
  • Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
  • Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more
  • Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases
  • Tuition assistance
