We're looking for a Hardware Systems Engineer to own system-level architecture across electrical, mechanical, firmware, sensor, and compute subsystems – decomposing platform requirements into verifiable specs for power distribution, motion control, embedded compute, sensor suites and communication buses (CAN, Ethernet, etc.). You'll drive requirements traceability, interface control documents (ICDs), trade studies, and verification and validation (V&V) plans that ensure subsystems built by separate EE, ME, firmware, and perception teams function as one safe, reliable delivery robot.

Own system-level architecture across electrical, mechanical, firmware, sensor, and compute subsystems for autonomous delivery platforms.

Decompose platform requirements into verifiable specs for power distribution, motion control, embedded compute, and sensor suites.

Drive requirements traceability, ICDs, trade studies, and V&V plans across EE, ME, firmware, and perception workstreams.

Define fault-tolerant architectures (FMEA, fault trees, redundancy) governing system behavior during component failures.

Lead cross-functional root-cause debugging across hardware, firmware, and software boundaries, conducting design and safety reviews.

Translate business and regulatory requirements into engineering specs in collaboration with Product, Safety, Legal, and Operations.
