System Engineer
About the role
About the role
At Applied Intuition, you will
- Turn customer, operational and regulatory needs into system, subsystem and component requirements, and keep them in Polarion as the single source of truth
- Define subsystems: their functions, inputs and outputs, interfaces and P-diagrams. Get them reviewed and approved by software and hardware leads
- Help write the system architecture as code (SysML v2) through a PR-based workflow, with clear owners for each component. Keep Cameo models in sync where certification and customer deliverables require them
- Write diagnostic and fault-management requirements, covering fault detection thresholds, fault-tolerant time intervals (FTTI), degradation strategy and minimal-risk maneuvers
- Run safety analyses such as STPA. Turn unsafe control actions into requirements, test cases and safety performance indicators
- Own the pass/fail criteria (observers and metrics) that turn requirements into machine-readable checks for simulation and in-vehicle testing. Make sure they are precise enough to trust
- Keep traceability end to end, from capability to requirement, test case, scenario, observer and result. When something escapes testing, find which layer missed it and close the gap
- Produce ASPICE work products and evidence (SYS.1-SYS.5, plus support for SWE.1/5/6) and get the team ready for assessments
- Represent systems engineering to OEM partners and regulators, including requirement reviews, validation plans and homologation deliverables
- Use and build AI-assisted tools (LLM agents, MCP integrations, scripts) to automate traceability, triage and requirement authoring
We’re looking for someone who has
- 2+ years of systems engineering experience covering requirements, functional decomposition and allocation, interface definition, and verification and validation
- Experience with robotics, autonomous vehicles or ADAS software systems
- Hands-on experience with a requirements tool (Polarion, DOORS, Jama) and with MBSE / SysML (Cameo or SysML v2)
- Comfort working in a codebase: Git, pull requests, Python, YAML
- Experience with at least one safety analysis method (STPA, FMEA, FTA, HARA)
- Clear written communication, and the ability to drive alignment across engineering teams and with external customers
Nice to have
- Experience with ASPICE, ISO 26262 or ISO 21448 (SOTIF)
- Experience defining metrics or pass/fail criteria for simulation-based verification
- Experience with commercial vehicles or trucking
- Experience building LLM-based tools or agents for engineering workflows
- Japanese language skills
