What this job asks for AI summary
A senior technical role focused on leading systems engineering across the full lifecycle of autonomous ground vehicles and robotic platforms — from architecture and requirements development through integration, verification, and field deployment. The position involves owning system-level decisions, coordinating across mechanical, electrical, software, and autonomy disciplines, and mentoring engineers. It suits experienced systems engineers with a background in complex electromechanical or autonomous systems who are comfortable with both hands-on integration work and cross-functional technical leadership.

Why we read it this way (6)
This role is primarily a Systems Engineering position focused on requirements management, architecture, V&V, and cross-functional integration of complex electromechanical/autonomous/robotic systems — it does not map cleanly to a single standard SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best available fit; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest runner-up given the systems analysis and integration emphasis.
Louisville, CO falls within the Boulder, CO CBSA (14500). The posting also mentions remote eligibility for candidates in the Maryland/Washington DC metro or Detroit, MI areas, but the primary location is Louisville, CO.
FMEA and hazard analysis/safety case development appear in the Required Qualifications section and are treated as hard gates. However, these are methodologies rather than named tools — FMEA is the most concrete named method and is retained; generic 'hazard analyses' and 'safety case development' are omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.
MBSE tools (Cameo, MagicDraw) and MOSA appear under Preferred Qualifications, as does ROS/ROS2 and the MIL-STD/ISO standards — all marked preferred accordingly.
The posting notes a DoD Security Clearance is not required to begin employment but candidates must maintain eligibility to obtain one; this does not constitute a hard clearance gate.
ITAR/EAR eligibility (U.S. citizenship or equivalent) is required but is a legal/export-control requirement, not a technical skill or clearance level — noted here for the hiring manager's awareness.
