Harbinger: Familiar Form, Revolutionary Foundation. Job Overview The Systems Engineering team is seeking a versatile Systems Engineer to own the end-to-end definition, integration, and architecture of ADAS features, teleoperation systems for remotely operated military/tactical vehicles, and core Electric Vehicle (EV) platform architectures. In this role, you will bridge the gap between autonomous perception, remote command tele operation, and high-voltage EV powertrains. You will lead the systems engineering lifecycle from defining customer use cases and sensor/communication architectures to managing Functional Safety (ISO 26262), cybersecurity, and vehicle-level validation across all Harbinger platforms. What you will do: Define and adapt high-level requirements and use cases for core ADAS features for Harbinger vehicles to support military and teleoperation vehicles. Develop logical and physical system architectures showing interactions between sensors, controllers and physical systems. Architect robust, low-latency teleoperation pipelines for remotely operated military and dual-use vehicles, including video streaming, remote steering/throttling, and operator control unit (OCU) interfaces. Define fail-safe and fail-operational fallback modes for teleoperation links during signal degradation, electronic countermeasures, or network latency spikes. Lead Functional Safety and Cybersecurity analysis and work product creation at the concept and system level for relevant functions. Decompose vehicle-level requirements and the PDL into system, component and interface requirements using our requirement management tool, Flow Engineering. Define the DVP&R (Design Verification Plan) for ADAS features. Oversee testing from SIL to HIL and proving ground track testing. Analyze test data to fine tune sensitivity thresholds and calibrations to balance safety and false positive detection and remote link stability. Who you are: Possess a Bachelor's degree or other relevant educational credential. 5+ years of experience in automotive systems engineering. Hands-on experience with ISO 26262 Functional Safety.
