Systems Engineer 2

Required Education/Experience:








Bachelor's degree in an accredited Engineering, Computer Science, or related field








Required Qualifications:








The main function of a systems engineer is to apply the principles of computer science and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the software and systems that make computers work
A typical systems engineer analyzes user needs, and then designs, tests, and develops software to meet those needs.








Required Technical Skills:








Verbal and written communication skills, problem solving skills, customer service and interpersonal skills.
Ability to work independently and manage one's time.
Basic mentoring skills necessary to provide support and constructive performance feedback.
Knowledge of the full software development lifecycle: from business/systems analysis, through requirements gathering and functional specification authoring, to development, testing and delivery.
Ability to troubleshoot issues and make system changes as needed to resolve issue.
Knowledge of circuit boards, processors, electronic equipment and computer hardware and software.
Knowledge of computer development software across multiple platforms.
Proven ability to work on production products through design, implementation, customer rollout, and support.
Ability to decompose complex customer requirements into achievable technical requirements for the systems that make up the product.
Knowledge and experience with autonomous systems and hardware, including vision systems (e.g. Camera, Lidar, and Radar), GNSS, and IMU.
Knowledge of on-machine electrical systems and best practices, including harnessing, wiring, etc.
Integration of autonomy systems protocols and software including experience with CAN, Ethernet, ROS2








Soft Skills:








Influencing Through Expertise:
Strong working knowledge of the CLIENT Command ecosystem in mining or construction, or other centralized control system architectures which can be drawn upon for design proposals and decisions.
Constantly staying abreast of advancements in the Autonomy and mining industries.
Provides evidentiary support while giving opinions or recommendations to influence decision making.
Conducts tasks in such a way as to build a strong reputation and credibility as an expert in the field.
Effectively communicates ideas and design tradeoffs to team members and stakeholders
Willing to spend the time to document designs, requirements, and success criteria to ensure team member alignment
Clearly explains project goals to team members, keeps leadership informed of progress, and shares relevant updates with external partners
Uses data-driven arguments, active listening, and tailored messaging to persuade stakeholders and achieve consensus.
Able to work independently and as part of a team








Position's Contributions to Work Group:








As an Autonomy Systems Engineer on the Surface Loading Autonomy team, you will be an integral part of the CLIENT team developing the next generation of autonomous machines for the construction industry.
In this role you will be responsible for integrating autonomy solutions with the base machine. This includes helping to define the requirements and system architecture for bringing autonomous machine systems together, working with many different types of onboard electronics systems, including hands on work in both lab and on machine environments, and coordinating with other teams to implement, validate and demonstrate autonomous solutions on machine.
The successful candidate will be very detail oriented, help to develop and execute standard work and work well with and through others. Additionally, the incumbent will also need to be capable of making and communicating good decisions around the trade-offs between time, resources, and quality.
Note while knowledge of C++ and software development for autonomous systems is beneficial for this role, this is NOT an embedded software role.








Work will include:








Installation and testing of autonomy hardware on machine
Flashing of software on machine and validating proper functionality
On-machine commissioning of autonomy hardware
Supporting prototype and test machine builds and updates,
Live monitoring of CAN and Ethernet traffic on the machine and validating data
Troubleshooting connectivity and data issues as they arise, including debugging and correcting wiring, harness, sensor, positioning-system, and time synchronization issues.
Collaborating closely with machine product groups and working together, on-machine, to resolve issues








Typical task breakdown:








Apply new autonomous system solutions and technologies to machines working in the Construction industry, including Excavators, Wheel Loaders and Articulated Trucks.
Work closely with Machine Development teams (L6) to determine the best way to deliver on machine autonomous features.
Lead or support system integration, functional tests, and validation activities
Issue resolution through triage and troubleshooting
Collaborate with and coordinate activities between the various autonomy development teams, machine and machine system development teams and machine validation teams
Decomposition of Customer requirements into (L6) system level requirements
Ensure clear documentation and traceability of system architecture, design decisions, and success criteria
Serve as a subject matter expert for Surface Loading Machine Autonomous Solutions
Communicate system readiness and technical risk to stakeholders








Work environment:








Working on or in close proximity to machines at the proving ground, with primary focus on the integration of autonomy on the machine. While some work will be on machine, other work will be performed in the office.
PPE gear, such as safety glasses, safety shoes, reflective vest, will be provided








Top 3 Skills:








Proven experience as a Systems Engineer supporting product development teams focusing on developing autonomous machines, including the integration of software and hardware to deliver autonomous solutions
Prior experience collaborating with systems integration and validation teams for engineering product development, including the validation of software and hardware to deliver autonomous solutions both in the lab and on machine
Knowledge and experience with Construction Equipment such as Articulated Dump Trucks, Hydraulic Excavators and Wheel Loaders








Why this Role?








As a System Engineer for Surface Loading (ex. Articulated Truck, Excavator and Wheel Loader Autonomy development, you will have the opportunity to be a part of CLIENT's team developing their next generation of autonomous machines for the Construction Industry)








Responsibilities:








Modify existing databases and database management systems or direct programmers and analysts to make changes.
Write and code logical and physical database descriptions and specify identifiers of database to management system or direct others in coding descriptions.
Work as part of a project team to coordinate database development and determine project scope and limitations.
Review project requests describing database user needs to estimate time and cost required to accomplish project.
