The Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (SEIT) Department of Boston Dynamics (BD) seeks a highly talented Systems Engineer who is passionate about working with an exceptional team of roboticists to develop the world’s most capable, safe, and reliable humanoid robot. This Systems Engineer will focus primarily on electronic systems within the humanoid product ecosystem, such as computers, sensors, communications, batteries, chargers, and power management. You will help develop and promote the Systems Engineering (SE) approach that spans requirements generation, architectural trade studies, performance attribute engineering, system analysis, simulation, design, integration, and testing. You will be innovating not only on product implementation of advanced robotic technologies, but you will also be helping with new approaches to the emergent SE discipline at Boston Dynamics.
