FEV North America, Inc.; Auburn Hills (MI); On-site; USD 85,000 - 125,000; Full time

Job summary

FEV North America, Inc. is seeking a Systems Integration Engineer to design and validate integration strategies for a complex autonomous off-highway vehicle architecture.

You will map vehicle functions to hardware, software, sensors, and interfaces while ensuring safe, cohesive interoperability across domains. You will collaborate with safety engineers and suppliers to integrate components, define interfaces, and document architecture, boundaries, assumptions, and dependencies.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of systems integration experience required. Preferably 5 or more.
• Experience with complex embedded, electromechanical, autonomous, or distributed-control systems.
• B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering.
• Experience supporting FMEA/FMECA desirable.
• Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, defense ground vehicles, or safety-critical embedded systems preferred.
• INCOSE certification (ASEP/CSEP/ESEP) or demonstrated equivalent systems-engineering experience preferred.
• US Citizen or Green Card holder

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain system and subsystem architectural descriptions for an L4 autonomous off-highway vehicle.
• Define and document system boundaries, interfaces, dependencies, assumptions, and interactions.
• Map vehicle functions to the systems, hardware, software, sensors, actuators, communications, and interfaces that implement them.
• Support development and maintenance of interface-control information and functional/physical architecture.
• Work with the safety engineer to map hazards and safety requirements into the system architecture.
• Work directly with third-party suppliers to obtain and integrate components, interfaces, behavior, and safety analyses.
• Identify gaps or inconsistencies between supplier information and the vehicle-level architecture.
