## Description

* Lead the end-to-end systems engineering for embedded autonomous vehicle (AV) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) platforms.
 * Define, document, and manage system-level requirements, ensuring traceability and alignment with product and safety goals.
 * Develop and maintain system architecture, balancing trade-offs in compute resources (CPU, GPU, NPU), memory (RAM), and communication bandwidth (Ethernet).
 * Perform system resource allocation, profiling, and optimization to meet performance, power, latency, and reliability targets.
 * Collaborate cross-functionally with software architecture, firmware, hardware, validation, and vehicle integration teams to ensure cohesive system design and implementation.
 * Drive technical roadmap planning and contribute to strategic decisions on future platform capabilities and scalability.
 * Identify risks and develop mitigation strategies related to system integration and performance.
 * Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence and innovation within the team., This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}.
