If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation, please let us know. WHAT YOU'LL DO: Requirements development: Work cross-functionally with Product Managers, technical individual contributors, and Quality Assurance team members to translate high-level customer feature requests into clear, detailed technical requirements aligned with product vision and roadmap. Ensure requirements are actionable by engineering teams and testable through defined metrics and acceptance criteria. Requirements analysis: Identify dependencies, constraints, edge cases, and risks within proposed product or technical requirements. Ensure all requirements are feasible, testable, and aligned with business objectives and technical constraints. Documentation and modeling : Author clear and well-structured documentation, including acceptance criteria, traceability links, and system models. Use requirement management tools to maintain clarity, consistency, and traceability. Validation and verification: Collaborate with the Quality Assurance, Test, and development teams to validate that requirements are implemented correctly. Support test case development and define strategies for requirement traceability and verification coverage, ensuring that an implementation satisfies requirements. Requirements management: Track and manage requirements throughout the development lifecycle. Maintain version control, document requirement changes, and assess the impact of updates to ensure consistent alignment with the product’s technical and functional intent. Cross-functional alignment: Serve as the point of integration between customer intent and engineering execution. Facilitate communication across disciplines to reduce ambiguity, align expectations, and ensure clarity throughout design, development, and delivery. Participate in reviews and walkthroughs to confirm stakeholder alignment. Systems modeling support: Collaborate with systems modelers to contribute to the development and maintenance of system models that capture system architecture, behavior, and interfaces. Use models to improve requirement clarity, traceability, and validation, and ensure alignment between requirements and the evolving system design. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor’s degree with approximately 7+ years of relevant experience, or Master’s degree with approximately 5+ years of relevant experience, in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field with demonstrated experience working on complex software or autonomous systems. Extensive experience generating product and test requirements for software products. Familiarity with software development workflows in modern languages (C++17 or later, Python, Go, etc.). Working knowledge of requirements management tools such as DOORS, Jama, or Jira. Comprehensive understanding of robotics and autonomy concepts. Strong understanding of modern software engineering practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, configuration management, and software lifecycle processes. 4+ years of experience in systems engineering or quality assurance roles supporting aerospace, defense, or other safety-critical complex hardware/software systems. Familiarity with systems engineering processes, V-model development, and lifecycle traceability. Proficiency in reading and interpreting engineering drawings, schematics, and interface definitions. Experience supporting system modeling efforts using Cameo Systems Modeler and SysML and working with system models to inform and validate requirements. Comfortable working in a Linux development environment. Strong organizational, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Experience supporting or defining developer tooling, SDKs, or platforms. Exposure to safety-critical or mission-critical software development environments. Experience creating software tooling or using software APIs for common requirements and project management tools. For example, writing scripts to transfer requirements from one data base structure to another or link requirements in one program against test cases or product management items in other tools.
