About this role
Glydways is reimagining public transit to enhance mobility and accessibility. The Systems Engineer role involves establishing clear, testable requirements for the transportation program, ensuring the safety and reliability of the Glydways system.
Responsibilities:
- 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
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
- 6-10+ years of experience in a relevant industry
- 3+ years of experience in systems engineering, system architecture
- Strong foundation in systems engineering fundamentals: requirements, architecture, verification/validation
- Demonstrated ability to work across large, complex, multi-disciplinary teams
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Master's degree in Systems, Mechanical, Electrical, or Software Engineering
- Experience with safety-critical systems (FTA, FMEA, hazard analysis, ISO 26262)
- Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, transit systems, or complex hardware/software integrated products
- Familiarity with system test environments (HIL, SIL, simulation frameworks)
- Data analysis. Proficiency in Python
- Experience with systems engineering tools (e.g., Jama, SysML, DOORS)
- Proven track record of delivering safety-critical products to market
