Systems Engineer – Autonomous Vehicles

Please apply, even if you don't meet 100% of the qualifications!

We're looking for the best candidates coming with a great skillset who can also learn on the job.

Nice to have:

Master’s degree in Systems, Mechanical, Electrical, or Software Engineering.

Experience with safety-critical systems (FTA, FMEA, hazard analysis, ISO 26262).

We are seeking a

Systems Engineer

to bring clarity, rigor, and technical depth to our fast-growing transportation program. This role is perfect for someone who can take vague, open-ended questions –

How do we establish ground truth? How close can the vehicles drive to each other? What is comfortable braking? What does comfortable mean?

– and drive them to concrete, testable requirements.

The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, uncovers the right questions, and applies cross-disciplinary knowledge to solve them. We’re looking for someone who has shipped real products, understands design engineering tradeoffs, and wants to raise the bar through strong requirements writing, Jama discipline, FTA/FMEA rigor, and verification design.

At Glydways, our Systems team is responsible for architecting and verifying complex functional, logical, hardware, and software systems. We work across autonomy, vehicle hardware, safety, infrastructure, and operations to ensure the Glydways system is safe, reliable, and a great product experience. Sitting at the intersection of product vision and engineering execution, we own system requirements, the architecture of safety functions, vehicle definition, and infrastructure guidelines.
