Glydways - Systems Engineer – Autonomous Vehicles

• Become a domain expert in the Glydways system and share that expertise broadly across the organization. • Decompose top-level functions, behaviors, and features into clear, testable system requirements. • Drive system architecture and design alignment through trade studies, data analysis, and structured decision-making. • Define verification and validation strategies at the integrated system level. • Derive technical requirements (hardware, software, and infrastructure) requirements that balance performance, safety, and budget constraints. • Collaborate with the Safety Engineering team to contribute to the functional safety case. • Conduct analyses (hazard analysis, FTA, and FMEA) to anticipate and mitigate system risks. • Partner with cross-functional teams (autonomy, embedded, hardware, product, infrastructure, operations) to ensure requirements are actionable, measurable, and aligned with program goals. • Diagnose potential system failures, analyze impacts, and propose mitigations. • Ideal Characteristics: • Can turn ambiguity into clarity: drive vague, high-level questions into concrete, testable requirements. • Knows which questions matter most: generates many, but focuses on the critical few. • Has shipped products. • Brings cross-functional depth: ideally with a background in mechanical, electrical, embedded, or software design engineering. • Raises the bar for rigor: requirements traceability, verification planning, safety analysis, and disciplined systems thinking.
