As a Lead Systems Engineer at AeroVect, you’ll lead the design, validation, and verification of autonomous vehicle systems. You'll guide cross-functional teams in developing autonomous driving systems, establish KPIs to drive engineering performance, and manage requirements documentation while engaging with the safety team to set safety goals.

To apply for the Lead Systems Engineer role at AeroVect, you must have at least a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science or Aerospace Engineering, coupled with proven experience in autonomous systems and systems engineering methods. Familiarity with Python and SQL is also necessary to support data-driven workflows.

Yes, having experience with safety standards like ISO 26262 and ISO 21448 is important for the Lead Systems Engineer position at AeroVect. This knowledge helps ensure that all designs and processes meet stringent safety criteria integral to the development of autonomous systems.

Absolutely! The Lead Systems Engineer position at AeroVect is entirely remote, allowing you the flexibility to work from wherever suits you best. However, be prepared to travel up to 25% as needed for project collaborations or stakeholder meetings.

For the Lead Systems Engineer role at AeroVect, strong leadership capabilities, excellent communication skills, and a hands-on approach are crucial. A solid background in systems engineering methodologies and experience with autonomous systems will greatly enhance your effectiveness in this innovative environment.

When designing an autonomous vehicle system, I start by gathering comprehensive requirements and defining the system architecture. I believe in thorough analysis, simulation, and iterative testing to ensure that safety and validation criteria are met throughout the development process.

In my previous role, I led diverse teams composed of software engineers, mechanical engineers, and safety experts. I fostered collaboration by setting clear goals, encouraging open communication, and utilizing project management tools to keep everyone aligned and focused on shared deliverables.

Essential KPIs include system reliability, response time in critical situations, the accuracy of environment perception, and adherence to safety standards. Monitoring these metrics is vital to ensure the autonomous system performs as expected in real-world scenarios.

I engage closely with safety teams from the initial design phase, identifying potential risks and hazards. Implementing a structured approach to define safety standards, conducting rigorous testing, and continuously iterating designs based on verification results are key to meeting safety goals.

Documentation is critical in systems engineering as it maintains traceability of requirements, design decisions, and verification processes. It serves as a communication tool across teams and ensures that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the system's architecture and safety considerations.

I have utilized DOORS for requirements management in previous projects, enabling me to track and validate requirements efficiently. I’m also familiar with Jama to improve collaboration and maintain version control across documentation, which I find essential in complex projects like autonomous systems.

In my previous roles, I have used Python for data processing and analysis, which has helped streamline verification processes. SQL is invaluable for extracting and managing data from databases to inform decision-making during the system verification and validation phases.

I approach conflicts by promoting open and respectful communication. I encourage team members to express their perspectives and facilitate constructive discussions to identify the best path forward. It often helps to bring in a neutral third party if needed to mediate.

A hands-on approach is crucial because it fosters a deeper understanding of the systems we are creating. By being actively involved in the testing and troubleshooting phases, I am better equipped to make informed decisions and guide my team effectively through challenges.

I regularly attend industry conferences, participate in webinars, and read relevant research papers. I also engage with professional groups on platforms like LinkedIn, which allows me to exchange knowledge with peers and share insights on the latest developments in autonomous systems.
