About the role
- Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers - one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics - making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it.
- Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.
- Physical AI earns its place on a loading dock only when it is specified, traced, and verified like any other engineered system, and that's the work this team does.
Responsibilities
- Write and maintain clear, measurable, testable system requirements, and keep the requirements register accurate as designs change.
- Write feature requirements documents that define how each feature works across the robot's subsystems, and help develop cross-functional design solutions with mechanical, electrical, and software teams.
- Precise technical writer who can turn an ambiguous need into a requirement someone can build and test against.
- Clear communicator who works well with cross-functional teams and contributes thoughtfully to design reviews.
Requirements
- Typically 0-3 years of experience in systems engineering, robotics, or a related engineering role.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with Jira or a similar tracking tool
- Exposure to requirements management or test planning
- Python scripting
- Experience with robots or other hardware in a production setting
- paid federal and state holidays
- company-covered travel expenses
- 1-2 years of industry experience is a plus.
- New graduates are welcome
Compensation
- The salary range listed here is provided in accordance with Massachusetts law and reflects what we reasonably and in good faith expect to offer for this role.
Benefits
- Trace product requirements to system requirements and test cases, identify coverage gaps, and drive them to closure.
- Work with the System Verification and Test team to ensure test cases trace to requirements and that verification coverage is complete.
Company info
- At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI.
- We're looking for a Junior Systems Engineer to join the team that defines what our robotic unloading systems must do and proves that they do it.
- You'll write and maintain system requirements, trace them from product needs through testing, and help author the design documents and interface definitions that let hardware and software teams build to a shared contract.
- You'll work closely with Product, Engineering, and our System Verification and Test team, and spend time with the robots so your requirements reflect how the system actually behaves.
- You'll see that work tested on robots in our warehouse and at customer sites.
- This role suits someone early in their career who likes structure, asks precise questions, and wants to learn how a complex robot comes together across mechanical, electrical, software, and test.
