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.
As a 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. You will:
•
Design, create requirements, and demonstrate novel features required of our public transit system.
•
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.
•
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., GDF2 and 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 3 or 4 days a week at Richmond, CA, but will consider remote for the right candidate.
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.
