Description

Stratom, Inc. is a mission-driven engineering company building autonomous and unmanned off-highway vehicles and related robotic systems. Our systems operate in demanding real-world environments, where performance, reliability, and engineering discipline are essential. Integrating advanced autonomy with rugged industrial hardware for austere conditions.

Our work spans the full lifecycle of complex systems, from early concept and prototyping through fielded deployment. With multiple working prototypes in hand, we are entering the critical phase of transitioning these platforms into production over the coming years to deliver capable systems at scale. We are looking for talented and experienced engineers who want to take ownership of hard problems and play a key role in bringing multiple platforms into production.

Duties and Responsibilities

Provide comprehensive systems engineering leadership across the full lifecycle, from concept through deployment.
Develop and maintain system models using MBSE tools to define, analyze, and verify architectures in accordance with MOSA principles.
Lead requirements development, allocation, traceability, and verification/validation activities to ensure compliance with customer and regulatory requirements.
Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to integrate hardware and software components into cohesive robotic systems.
Guide robotic system development with a fundamental understanding of how and why the components of a system work together to achieve an operational goal.
Support safety engineering activities including hazard analyses, FMEAs, and safety case development for autonomous systems.
Coordinate and lead cross-disciplinary integration activities across mechanical, electrical, software, and autonomy teams, ensuring interfaces are well-defined and validated.
Guide and mentor team members in systems engineering best practices, tool usage, and process improvement.

Qualifications

Requirements

A passion for designing complex industrial and autonomous systems
Minimum 5+ years of experience in heavy industrial equipment, autonomous vehicle development, or robotics
Demonstrated experience acting as a systems engineer or integration lead on multi-disciplinary projects
Practical experience developing and managing requirements, traceability, and verification plans
Hands-on experience with MBSE methodologies and tools (e.g., Cameo/MagicDraw or similar).
Knowledge of MOSA principles and ability to architect modular, extensible systems.
Experience supporting safety activities for automated systems, such as hazard analyses and DFMEAs
Willing and eager to get your hands dirty building and debugging prototype systems
A relevant Engineering Degree(s), such as Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, etc. Advanced degrees are a plus
Ability to Travel up to 20% over the year, and up to 50% in short surges

Preferred Skills

Experience working through (and driving) an entire product development cycle of a custom HW design - you’ve shipped a product
Exposure to supply chain/vendor engagement: evaluating components, supporting procurement, defining acceptance criteria
Familiarity with ROS/ROS2 and robotic algorithm integration (planning, sensor fusion, control, etc.)
Familiarity with relevant military and industry standards, such as MIL-STD-882, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461/464, ISO 26262, etc.
Ability to lead small technical teams and manage cost/schedule while ensuring technical quality.

A Note About This Role
These qualifications represent the types of experience that tend to be successful at Stratom. We are intentionally building a small, highly effective team, and we value engineers who bring complementary strengths. Roles at Stratom often intersect, and the exact responsibilities may evolve based on the skills and initiative of the person who joins. Ultimately, we are building a team that contributes to our mission.
