At Ouster, we design and manufacture LIDAR sensors for precision mapping, robotics, automotive, security systems, smart cities and various industrial solutions. We’ve transformed LIDAR from an analog device with thousands of components to an elegant digital device powered by one chip‑scale laser array and one CMOS sensor, delivering a full range of high‑resolution sensors that provide superior imaging at a dramatically lower price.
The Role
We’re seeking a proactive and skilled engineer who thrives in a dynamic, fast‑paced environment to join our San Francisco hardware team.
What You’ll Do
Architect, define, produce, and manage system‑level requirements for functionally safe sensing products in compliance with ISO 26262.
Develop and maintain critical safety work products, including the Safety Plan, HARA, Functional Safety Concepts (FSC), and Technical Safety Concepts (TSC) for both internal design teams and external safety assessors.
Manage comprehensive requirements traceability from system requirements to hardware/software implementation and verification test cases.
Leverage Python and AI tools to automate documentation generation, streamline verification processes, and create scripts for data analysis and reporting.
Maintain system engineering artifacts and documentation within version control repositories such as Git.
Demonstrate hands‑on experience with the complete lifecycle of a functionally safe sensing product (e.g., radar, LIDAR, camera) used in automotive or industrial applications.
Collaborate closely with hardware, software, and firmware engineers to allocate requirements and ensure system‑wide safety goal alignment.
Lead and contribute to system‑level verification and validation (V&V) activities, defining test strategies and ensuring comprehensive coverage of all safety requirements.
Proven track record of shipping at least one sensing product that achieved ISO 26262 ASIL‑B certification or an equivalent functional safety standard.
Required (Basic Qualifications)
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
Minimum of 5 years of experience in a systems engineering role, with at least 3 years directly involved in the development of functionally safe products.
Demonstrable, in‑depth knowledge and hands‑on application of ISO 26262, particularly Parts 3, 4, 5, and 6.
At least 2 years of hands‑on experience using a dedicated requirements management tool, with a strong preference for Jama Connect.
Proven proficiency in Python for task automation, data processing, or verification scripting.
Experience using version control systems like Git for managing engineering work products and documentation.
Experience working across the full V‑model development lifecycle, from concept definition to system validation and release.
