Additional Responsibilities & Preferred Key

Competencies:

First Mode is developing and deploying an innovative hybrid-electric retrofit solution for ultra-class electric-drive mining haul trucks. This technology captures energy that would otherwise be lost during braking and retarding, stores it within a modular battery system, and intelligently redistributes that energy through advanced power electronics and controls to reduce diesel consumption, lower emissions, and enhance overall vehicle performance.

We are seeking a talented Senior Systems Engineer to provide technical leadership in requirements development, system definition, and verification planning for this highly complex electromechanical product.

This opportunity is ideal for an engineer who thrives in technically challenging environments and can rapidly develop a deep understanding of complex systems with a high level of independence. You will analyze mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, system architecture diagrams, interface definitions, test results, and existing technical documentation to identify gaps, resolve inconsistencies, and collaborate with subject matter experts to transform evolving information into robust systems engineering deliverables.

The primary focus of this role is requirements management, including establishing and maintaining the system requirements hierarchy, defining and managing the Systems V framework, and partnering closely with test engineers to develop comprehensive, traceable verification and validation strategies that support successful product development and integration.

Develop a comprehensive understanding of product mechanical, electrical, controls, battery, power electronics, thermal, safety, and vehicle system interactions to…
