As a contributor to the Australian Engineering group, you will be responsible for:

  • Capturing end-to-end system requirements for Hivemind Vision Systems and integrated autonomy solutions.
  • Supporting the design and development of system architectures spanning perception, autonomy, and mission-level workflows.
  • Using MBSE tools to document, maintain, and extend existing architecture models supporting new integrations, capabilities, and customer requirements.
  • Developing and maintaining models using UML, SysML, and/or UPDM.
  • Creating SysML models with emphasis on system decomposition, functional flows, interfaces, and system behavior.
  • Collaborating with subject-matter experts to improve tooling, automation, and connections between system models and codebases.
  • Supporting the evolution and execution of the systems engineering process across the Australian engineering organization.
  • Engaging cross-functionally with product management, program management, engineering, and business development teams.
  • Reporting status, risks, accomplishments, and expectations to senior engineering and program leadership.

Required qualifications

  • A minimum of 7 years of systems engineering or related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 5 years with a Master's degree; or 2 years with a PhD; or equivalent practical experience.
  • B.S. degree in a STEM field (e.g., Systems, Software, Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering).
  • Experience with systems engineering practices, including writing, structuring, and verifying requirements.
  • Experience with MBSE and system-modeling workflows.
  • Experience working on cross-functional technical teams.
  • Strong communication skills, written and verbal.
  • Highly organized, methodical, and comfortable managing detailed technical information.
  • Ability to read, interpret, and apply engineering drawings, assembly diagrams, parts lists, wiring diagrams, and schematics.
  • A demonstrated track record of integrity, high standards, teamwork, and professionalism.
