In this pivotal role, you will be responsible for ensuring the electrical and software systems that enable autonomy, control, and communications meet reliability and integration requirements. You will lead efforts in electrical architecture design, software- and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) verification, and failure mode analysis for electronics and embedded systems. Working with electrical, software, and other engineers, you'llidentify reliability drivers, define test requirements, and execute end-to-end full lifecycle system performance verification across mission scenarios and environmental conditions. Your expertise will be crucial in ensuring the reliability and performance of our innovative maritime technology as we advance towards the future of autonomous vessels., * Lead electrical and software system integration efforts, and work cross-functionally to ensure aspects such as signal integrity, power management, communication protocols, and autonomy behavior meets design intent and system requirements (design criteria) * Define and maintain system-level electrical and software interface requirements using Jama and internal tools, ensuring clarity across design teams * Help develop and execute integration and validation test plans for electrical subsystems, software-in-the-loop (SIL), and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing * Define and execute electrical reliability tests (e.g., EMI/EMC, power cycling, thermal stress) to validate robustness and fault tolerance * Support root cause investigations for electrical and software-related failures, coordinating corrective actions and preventive measures * Lead technical reviews related to system interfaces, electrical integration, and software verification results, ensuring feedback is integrated into design updates * Mentor other engineers in best practices for electrical and software reliability, including fault-tolerant design, redundancy, and diagnostic coverage * Define top-down use cases, system architecture, and design reference missions for products alongside product architects and responsible engineers * Define, document, and maintain system requirements (design criteria) using Jama and in-house developed tools/environments * Work closely with engineering teams to ensure requirements are accurately interpreted and implemented * Maintain up-to-date technical documentation for system requirements, testing requirements, verification and validation * Clearly articulate technical information to stakeholders at all levels, ensuring alignment of objectives across engineering, software, and mission operations * Participate in systems engineering activities including concept development, system design, integration, and testing * Develop, own, and execute subsystem- and system-level verification and validation (V&V) plans to ensure designs meet functional, performance, autonomy, reliability, and safety requirements * Define test objectives, configurations, procedures, and success criteria for subsystem and full-system integration tests * Lead root cause analysis/failure investigation, and corrective action for issues found during R&D and qualification testing alongside the development, quality, and test teams. * Develop and maintain internal data analysis and visualization tools to streamline test reporting and decision-making * Collaborate closely with mission operations, design engineers, and other stakeholders to collect, analyze, and interpret in-field or post-deployment data, feeding results back into design iterations * Work with hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) engineers to architect verification & test campaigns and execute subsystem- and system-level testing * Help drive the development of internal tools, guides, calculators, or similar via Palantir Foundry, Confluence, Excel, or similar * Support the engineering design cycle process as a subject matter expert to ensure teams adhere to our hardware design best practices, and analysis best practices ## Related Videos -
