Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, Optics, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• 5+ years of systems engineering experience on optoelectronic or sensor products, preferably lidar or active depth sensing, in automotive, aerospace, or industrial markets.
• Strong requirements engineering skills: writing clear, verifiable requirements with verification methods and acceptance criteria, decomposing system targets into subsystem requirements, and maintaining traceability.
• Hands-on experience with at least one requirements management tool (for example DOORS, Jama, Polarion, Codebeamer).
• Experience defining and documenting system architectures and interfaces, including hardware/software partitioning and interface control documents covering electrical and data interfaces (for example Automotive Ethernet, CAN, SPI, I2C).
• Hands-on experience with at least one MBSE or architecture modeling tool (for example SysML based tools such as IBM Rhapsody, Capella, Cameo, or Enterprise Architect).
• Strong grounding in the physics of the system: lasers and device physics, optics, and signal processing, together with the optical, electrical, mechanical, and thermal aspects of
  system design.
• Working knowledge of structured product development and quality processes and standards (for example ISO 9001, V-Model, ASPICE, ISO 26262, AEC-Q), and the ability
  to contribute to functional safety work within them.
• Experience collaborating across architecture, hardware, software, firmware, and mechanical teams to drive system and subsystem specifications and resolve interface
  issues.
• Strong technical documentation skills: requirements, specifications, architecture descriptions, interface control documents, verification criteria, and reports.
• Experience defining performance KPIs, building performance models, and analyzing measured data to assess a system against its targets, with scripting for data analysis
  (Python preferred).

Preferred

• M.S. or Ph.D. in a related field.
• Experience across the full lifecycle of automotive, aerospace, or industrial sensor development and production, from concept and requirements through design, verification,
  qualification, and launch.
• Hands-on experience leading HARA, safety concepts, and safety analyses (FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, DFA), and familiarity with AUTOSAR and MISRA.
• Experience with automotive cybersecurity engineering per ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155, including TARA, cybersecurity concepts, secure boot and secure communication requirements, and coordination with hardware and software security teams.
• Familiarity with SOTIF (ISO 21448) and its application to perception sensors.
• Functional safety or cybersecurity certification (for example TÜV/SGS Functional Safety Engineer, ISO/SAE 21434 practitioner) or ASPICE assessor training.
• Understanding of thermal concepts in sensor system design (power dissipation and heat paths, thermal budgets and derating, temperature limits, and thermal degradation of optical and electronic performance), including interpreting thermal simulation results and analyzing thermal test data.
• Hands-on experience evaluating and characterizing optical or electro-optical subsystems, including prototype bring-up, lab and field testing, and common failure modes.
• Experience with sensor calibration and its integration into production.
• Experience with sensor fusion, time synchronization (for example PTP / IEEE 802.1AS, gPTP), and perception applications.
