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. The result is a full range of high-resolution LIDAR sensors that deliver superior imaging at a dramatically lower price. If you’re motivated by solving big problems, we’re hiring key roles across the company and need your help!\n The Role:\nWe're seeking a proactive and skilled engineer who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment to be an integral part of our San Francisco hardware team.\n What You'll Do:\nArchitect, define, produce, and manage system-level requirements for functionally safe sensing products in compliance with standards like ISO 26262.\nDevelop 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.\nResponsible for comprehensive requirements management, ensuring end-to-end traceability from system requirements to hardware/software implementation and verification test cases.\nLeverage Python and AI tools to automate the generation of documentation, streamline verification processes, and create scripts for data analysis and reporting.\nManage system engineering artifacts and documentation within version control repositories such as Git.\nDemonstrate hands-on experience with the complete lifecycle of a functionally safe sensing product (e.g., radar, lidar, camera) used in automotive or industrial applications.\nCollaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including hardware, software, and firmware engineers, to allocate requirements and ensure system-wide safety goal alignment.\nLead and contribute to system-level verification and validation (V&V) activities, defining test strategies and ensuring comprehensive coverage of all safety requirements.\nProven track record of successfully shipping at least one sensing product that has achieved ISO 26262 ASIL-B certification or an equivalent functional safety standard.\n Required (Basic Qualifications):\nBachelor of Science (B.S.) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related technical field.\nMinimum of 5 years of experience in a systems engineering role, with at least 3 years directly involved in the development of functionally safe products.\nDemonstrable, in-depth knowledge and hands-on application of ISO 26262, particularly Parts 3, 4, 5, and 6.\nAt least 2 years of hands-on experience using a dedicated requirements management tool, with a strong preference for Jama Connect.\nProven proficiency in Python for the purpose of task automation, data processing, or verification scripting.\nExperience using version control systems like Git for managing engineering work products and documentation.\nExperience working across the full V-model development lifecycle, from concept definition to system validation and release.\n A Note on Experience:\nWe acknowledge the confidence gap at Ouster. You do not need to meet all of these requirements to be the ideal candidate for this role. We encourage you to apply if you believe you have the skills and passion to succeed.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3377,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotic Components & Sensors","Machine Vision & 3D Cameras"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-30T14:00:08Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-08T20:32:28Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-12T22:41:26Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 9 · green card filings: 2","filings_12m":9,"filings_prev_12m":9,"green_card_filings_12m":2,"median_offered_wage_usd":175227,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":5}],"liveness":{"score":29,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.639,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":47,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ouster-system-engineer-ouster","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ouster-system-engineer-ouster.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T09:11:28Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13672,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":63103},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=63103"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fouster-system-engineer-ouster"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fouster-system-engineer-ouster"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fouster-system-engineer-ouster"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ouster-system-engineer-ouster\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fouster-system-engineer-ouster"}]}
