Teleoperation information

What is a teleoperation?

A teleoperation job involves remotely controlling machines, robots, or vehicles in real-time using specialized software and hardware. Operators typically work with autonomous or semi-autonomous systems to ensure they perform tasks accurately and safely. These roles are common in industries like autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation. Strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to react quickly to changing situations are essential for success in this field.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of someone working in teleoperation?

A teleoperation professional is primarily responsible for remotely operating vehicles, machinery, or robotic equipment, often monitoring system dashboards and responding to live feedback in real time. Daily tasks may include troubleshooting technical issues, coordinating with on-site teams, following strict safety protocols, and maintaining detailed operational logs. Many positions involve shift work to provide around-the-clock support, especially in sectors such as logistics, mining, or transportation. Collaboration with engineers, maintenance crews, and supervisors is also common to ensure optimal performance and rapid issue resolution. This dynamic environment requires keen attention to detail and the ability to respond calmly to unexpected challenges.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in teleoperation, and why are they important?

To thrive in Teleoperation, you need excellent spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, and proficiency in operating remote-control systems, often supported by relevant technical training or certifications. Familiarity with teleoperation platforms, robotics interfaces, and communication software is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication help operators adapt to dynamic situations and collaborate with remote teams. These abilities are essential to ensure safe, precise, and reliable remote operation across various industries such as robotics, transportation, and logistics.

Job description

Job Overview

The Systems Engineering team is seeking a versatile Systems Engineer to own the end-to-end definition, integration, and architecture of ADAS features, teleoperation systems for remotely operated military/tactical vehicles, and core Electric Vehicle (EV) platform architectures.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between autonomous perception, remote command teleoperation, and high-voltage EV powertrains. You will lead the systems engineering lifecycle from defining customer use cases and sensor/communication architectures to managing Functional Safety (ISO 26262), cybersecurity, and vehicle-level validation across all Harbinger platforms.

What you will do:

  • Architect Teleoperation & Control Pipelines: Design low-latency teleoperation pipelines, video streaming architectures, and Operator Control Unit (OCU) interfaces for remotely operated and dual-use vehicles.
  • Design Safe Fallback Modes: Define fail-safe and fail-operational fallback behaviors during signal degradation, electronic countermeasures, or high-latency events, embedding core Functional Safety and cybersecurity controls.
  • Decompose Vehicle Requirements: Translate vehicle-level use cases and ADAS feature goals into clear system, component, and interface requirements using our requirement management platform (Flow Engineering).
  • Lead Validation & Track Testing: Define the DVP&R and oversee validation across SIL, HIL, and proving ground track testing to optimize system stability, link reliability, and feature calibration.

Who you are:

  • 5+ years of systems engineering experience in autonomous vehicles (AVs), robotics, Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), or EV/automotive vehicle platforms.
  • Hands-on background architecting or integrating low-latency teleoperation pipelines, real-time video/telemetry streaming, or Operator Control Unit (OCU) interfaces.
  • Knowledge of vehicle safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262, MIL-STD-882, or UL 4600) and experience designing safe fallback modes for degraded RF, cellular, or high-latency links.
  • Experience with control logic modeling (MATLAB/Simulink, C++, or ROS/ROS2), vehicle network protocols (CAN/Ethernet), and requirement management platforms.
  • Bachelor's degree in Systems, Robotics, Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering (or equivalent practical experience).
