System Engineer Lead

Must Have; Core System Engineering - 14+ yrs (End-to-end lifecycle involvement (requirements → architecture → integration → validation)) Requirement Management - 10+ years (Defining, analyzing, allocating, tracing, and managing system requirements with tools (e.g., DOORS, JAMA, Polarion) System Validation / Verification - 8+ years (Planning and executing system-level validation (V&V strategy, test planning, coverage) Functional Safety (ISO 26262) - 7+ years (Hands-on experience applying ASIL concepts, safety analysis, and compliance evidence) ASPICE - 4+ years (Process adherence, gap analysis, and ASPICE assessments (at least Level 2-3 awareness) Cybersecurity - 5+ years Integrating security requirements into architecture (e.g., TARA, ISO/SAE 21434 exposure) Leadership / Mentoring - 5+ years (Leading cross-functional teams, running technical reviews, and stakeholder management) Key Implications This is a senior IC + leadership hybrid — the role expects someone who's been in the trenches for most of 14 years and has spent the latter half growing into technical leadership Deep Wide — the 14+ years in core systems engineering is non-negotiable; the rest layers on top Automotive/embedded context is implied — ISO 26262, ASPICE, and cybersecurity together strongly signal automotive (ADAS, infotainment, or domain controller experience)
