About us:
Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.
Role Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to be a key contributor in the robust development and lifecycle maintenance of our next-generation Lidar sensor products. This role requires the practical application of detailed systems engineering processes to ensure that design and implementation adhere to stringent automotive standards. You will be responsible for implementing and maintaining work products for ASPICE, Functional Safety (ISO 26262), and Cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434) compliance, ensuring requirements traceability and robust analysis. This position requires experience in sensor technology, the use of systems engineering tools and a strong background in automotive systems standards.
What you’ll do:
- Maintain the product technical requirements and detailed system design documentation using a formal management tool.
- Perform detailed architectural decomposition and derive clear, verifiable component-level requirements.
- Utilize system modeling to conduct technical trade-off studies, perform design analysis, and validate architectural decisions.
- Implement and document the Functional Safety Concept (ISO 26262) and the Cybersecurity Concept (ISO/SAE 21434), including necessary safety/security analyses (FMEA, FTA, TARA, etc.)
- Act as the technical systems liaison, ensuring requirements traceability, verification planning, and interface consistency across disciplines.
What you’ll have:
- 5+ years of experience in Systems Engineering or a related technical role, preferably in the automotive or high-reliability sensor industry.
- Hands-on technical understanding and experience with sensor technology and its application in autonomous systems (Lidar experience preferred).
- Expertise in the execution and documentation of systems processes related to ASPICE, Functional Safety (ISO 26262), Cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434) and SOTIF (ISO 21448).
- Experience with Requirements Management Software (e.g., DOORS, Polarion, JAMA).
- Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), such as SysML modeling, is desirable.
What’s in it for you:
- Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team
- Very competitive compensation and meaningful stock grants
- Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more
- Unlimited PTO: We care about results, not punching timecards
