Files H-1B transfers

3 transfer filings in the last year, covering 3 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 9 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role

  • As a Senior or Staff Systems Engineer - GATN (Glydways Automated Transit Network), you will be the technical owner for how new features and system changes show up on the guideway.
  • Judge the health of safety functions and guardrails using logs, metrics, and on‑track behavior.
  • Define and execute integration test plans for new GATN capabilities using data-driven methods.

Responsibilities

  • Own feature landing for GATN: Design, plan and execute integration of new system capabilities on the track (product features including reduced headways, fail‑operational behaviors, meeting availability targets, ticket kiosk flows, dispatch behaviors, new ATP functions).
  • Define and run integration scenarios: Design Tier 2+ integration scenarios that exercise safety functions, throughput behaviors, and operational workflows across vehicles, wayside, and dispatch / OCC.
  • Drive release readiness: Partner with Systems Engineering, Autonomy, Vehicle SI, and Operations to define entry/exit criteria for on‑track testing, release candidates, and feature "go live" decisions.
  • Triage and root cause issues: Lead technical triage when integration or regression tests fail-coordinate logs, reproduce issues, work with domain owners, and drive to clear, documented resolutions.
  • propose and help implement improvements.
  • document decisions and operational guardrails so that product, operations, and leadership have a clear picture of system state.
  • Can turn ambiguity into clarity: drive vague, high-level questions into concrete, testable requirements.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
  • 4-10+ years of experience in a relevant industry.
  • 1+ years of experience in systems integration and test, system test, or verification and validation for complex hardware/software systems
  • Comfort working hands-on at the test track
  • Master's degree in Systems, Mechanical, Electrical, or Software Engineering.
  • Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, transit systems, or complex hardware/software integrated products
  • Familiarity with system test environments (HIL, SIL, simulation frameworks).
  • Required
  • Ability to collaborate across diverse teams (autonomy, embedded, systems, operations, product) and drive alignment without direct authority.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Experience planning and executing integration or systems-level test campaigns, including scenario design, success criteria and analysis.
  • Strong root-cause skills across software and hardware interfaces
  • A desire to figure out what to build next
  • Preferred / Bonus

Benefits

  • Improve regression and mileage test suites: Improve the regression test suite and mileage‑accumulation campaigns that gate releases, including test selection, ordering, and coverage criteria for GATN features.

  • Meet the Team
  • At Glydways, our Systems team is responsible for architecting and verifying complex functional, logical, hardware, and software systems.
  • We work across autonomy, vehicle hardware, safety, infrastructure, and operations to ensure the Glydways system is safe, reliable, and a great product experience.
  • Sitting at the intersection of product vision and engineering execution, we own system requirements, the architecture of safety functions, vehicle definition, and infrastructure guidelines.
  • Role Overview
  • Design, create requirements, and demonstrate novel features required of our public transit system.
  • Drive issues to closure so that the system can operate safely and hit its availability targets.
  • You'll work hands‑on at the track (e.g. at project sites), in logs and dashboards, and in tools to turn "we need this to work on the track" into concrete scenarios, parameters, and decisions.
  • We prefer to have this position on-site 4 days a week in Atlanta, GA.
  • The senior or staff leveling will be determined during interviews.
  • This role is ideal for someone who has shipped complex hardware/software systems, enjoys integration and test work, and is comfortable taming chaos in a multi‑team environment.
  • We're building the entire transit solution!
  • It will operate safely and reliably, and we have to build not only the rider experience from ticketing to destination, but design the day in the life of each vehicle prior to and during business hours.
  • Guardrail and safety‑function health: Review logs, metrics, and track behavior to judge the health of safety functions (e.g., separation assurance, route obstruction, emergency stop behaviors), and recommend parameter or design changes where needed.
