Job description

We are looking for a Lead Systems Engineer to drive the design, integration, and deployment of semi-autonomous and autonomous systems. This is a hands-on technical leadership role that sits at the intersection of software and hardware: you will take complex components AI engines, control systems, sensors, and actuators and integrate them into robust, production-ready systems that perform reliably in the real world.

Systems Architecture And Integration

• Architect and integrate diverse software and hardware components into cohesive, well-functioning semi-autonomous and autonomous systems.
• Define interfaces, data flows, and integration standards across subsystems to ensure seamless interoperability.
• Make pragmatic trade-offs between performance, reliability, cost, and time-to-market across the full system stack.

Software Development

• Design, develop, and maintain software in C++ and Python across critical subsystems, including AI/perception engines, control systems, and sensor-actuator integration layers.
• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code, with attention to real-time performance and resource constraints.
• Contribute to and uphold engineering best practices around code review, version control, and documentation.

Debugging And Root-Cause Analysis

• Investigate complex, cross-system issues spanning software, hardware, and their interactions.
• Conduct systematic root-cause analysis to identify the true source of failures rather than surface symptoms.
• Develop efficient, durable resolutions and put safeguards in place to prevent recurrence.

Technical Leadership And Cross-Team Coordination

• Lead, mentor, and guide a team of engineers, setting technical direction and raising the bar on quality.
• Coordinate across teams software, hardware, AI, QA, and product to align priorities and remove blockers.
• Own delivery milestones, track progress against schedules, and ensure the team ships reliable products on time.

Edge Deployment

• Deploy and optimise systems on edge devices, accounting for constraints in compute, memory, power, and connectivity.
• Anticipate and resolve deployment-related challenges such as hardware variability, over-the-air updates, latency, and field reliability.
• Tune software for efficient on-device execution without compromising functionality or safety.

Test Strategy And Validation

• Define and implement comprehensive testing strategies to validate and harden the system end-to-end.
• Build test coverage across unit, integration, hardware-in-the-loop, and system-level scenarios, including edge cases and failure modes.
• Establish validation processes that ensure robustness, safety, and consistent performance before deployment.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field (e. g., Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Computer Science, or related discipline).
• 2-4 years of professional experience in systems engineering, ideally involving the integration of software and hardware.
• Strong programming skills in C++ and Python.
• Demonstrated experience developing or integrating components such as AI engines, control systems, and sensor-actuator interfaces.
• Proven debugging and root-cause analysis skills across complex, multi-component systems.
• Experience working with edge devices and an understanding of real-world deployment challenges.
• Ability to design and execute thorough testing and validation strategies.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to lead a team and coordinate across functions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in a relevant engineering field.
• Direct experience building semi-autonomous or autonomous systems (e. g., robotics, drones, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation).
• Familiarity with real-time operating systems, embedded development, and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Prior experience leading or mentoring engineering teams.
• Exposure to safety-critical or production-grade system development.
