Summary

Boston Dynamics is seeking a Systems Engineer for the Spot team. You will join a small cross-functional group defining and developing an unprecedented industry-transforming robotic product. You will help develop and promote a new Systems Engineering (SE) approach that spans requirements generation, architectural trade studies, performance attribute engineering, system analysis, simulation, design, integration, and testing. You will be innovating not only on product implementation of advanced robotic technologies, but you will also be helping to develop and deliver new approaches to the emergent SE discipline at Boston Dynamics. In the engineering design environment, the Systems Engineer will be expected to lead subsystem design activities to ensure achievement of product requirements.

How you will make an impact:
  • Work cross-functionally to build buy-in and collaboration with the right-weight Systems Engineering approach that best helps the team deliver an exceptional product within project constraints. Educate others on SE benefits and methodology, leading by example in disciplined product engineering execution.
  • Clarify critical-to-customer product performance attribute measures, evaluation methods, production targets, and prototype status. Help develop a compatible set of performance targets, including safety, user experience, reliability, robustness, cost, package, manufacturability, and numerous functional attributes. Facilitate activities that accelerate product design convergence to these targets
  • Lead cross functional sub-system trade studies and designs
  • Assist with development, documentation, and maintenance of a cohesive product architecture: functional, physical, and the allocation of functional to physical.
  • Intuitive sense of how to create test systems highly representative of product usage
  • Working with design engineers to ensure testability of product subsystems
  • Developing test specifications that appropriately direct test system development
  • Designing appropriately reliable and cost-effective fixtures that accurately deliver desired loading conditions for product systems and/or subsystems under test
  • Help author the evolving Concept of Operations, ensuring that the intended breadth of use cases are clearly defined for the product.
  • Work closely with Product Managers and program stakeholders in clarifying product requirements. Solicit requirements from stakeholders and subject-matter experts. Perform analysis and experimentation to ensure requirements are properly parameterized. Author high quality system requirements.
  • Become expert on Jama tool functionality to customize and configure the tool in support of the product team's evolving needs. Support Jama integration with Jira and other corporate tools to ensure robust information management, clear data ownership, single source of truth, without need for redundant data entry.

Required Skills & Experience:
  • Exceptional written & verbal communication, interpersonal skills, collaboration, and conflict resolution
  • Technical depth and breadth of experience with complex systems (robots or automation)
  • Ability to lead cross functional teams
  • 4+ years of cross-disciplinary technology team leadership
  • 2+ years of experience systems engineering of complex mechatronic systems
  • 2+ years of experience in robotics technology development
  • 2+ years experience working intimately with a specialized requirements management tool. Expertise in both Jama and Jira is especially helpful.
  • BS in engineering (Robotics, Computers, Software, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or similar)

Desired Skills & Experience:
  • Reliability & robustness engineering methodologies, including boundary and parameter diagramming, DFMEA, DVP&R, root cause analysis, statistical methods
  • Authoring, reviewing, and approving a wide variety of requirements
  • Mobile robotics, robotic manipulation, grasping, perception technologies, and walking robots
  • Safety-critical system development.
  • Familiarity with relevant safety standards, such as IEC 61508, ANSI/RIA R15.08, ISO 26262, ISO/PAS 21448, UL/ANSI 4600
  • Certification in Systems Engineering
  • Experience with the development and documentation of product development processes, methods, and tool integration
  • MS in engineering (Robotics, Computers, Software, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or similar)

The base pay range for this position is between $116,000 to $142,000 annually. Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including, but not limited to internal equity, job related knowledge, skills and experience. This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting. Boston Dynamics offers a generous Benefits package including medical, dental vision, 401(k), paid time off and a annual bonus structure. Additional details regarding these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer for employment.
