About Stratom

Stratom is a mission-driven engineering company developing autonomous and unmanned ground vehicles and robotic systems for demanding industrial and defense environments. Our teams design, build, and deploy advanced systems that combine rugged mechanical platforms with cutting-edge autonomy.

We work across the full product lifecycle—from early concepts and prototypes through testing, field deployment, and production. Our engineers solve complex technical challenges while collaborating across mechanical, electrical, software, autonomy, and manufacturing disciplines.

About the Role

Stratom is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer specializing in autonomous robotics and complex electromechanical systems to provide technical leadership across the development, integration, and verification of advanced robotic platforms. We welcome candidates with systems engineering experience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, heavy-duty equipment, industrial automation, commercial vehicles, aerospace, marine, rail, energy, or defense applications.

The ideal candidate combines strong systems thinking with hands-on engineering experience and enjoys solving challenging integration problems in heavy-duty, industrial, autonomous, or defense applications.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role with a focus on execution, system ownership, and cross-functional collaboration. The Senior Systems Engineer will spend the majority of their time driving system development activities while providing technical leadership across the organization:

80% – Systems Engineering & Project Execution:

Lead hands-on systems engineering activities including system architecture, MBSE modeling, requirements development and traceability, interface definition, integration, verification and validation planning, technical analysis, and support of prototype development, testing, and field deployment.

15% – Technical Project Leadership:

Provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams by coordinating engineering activities, guiding system-level decisions, facilitating trade studies, identifying technical risks, and helping drive successful execution across mechanical, electrical, software, autonomy, manufacturing, and test teams.

5% – Customer & Executive Technical Interface:

Support technical discussions with customers, partners, and company leadership by communicating system status, technical decisions, risks, and program progress.

Location:

This position is based in Louisville, Colorado, with a strong preference for candidates who can work on-site or in a hybrid capacity. Remote work may be considered for highly qualified candidates located in the Maryland/Washington, DC metro area or the Detroit, Michigan area to support collaboration with key team members and strategic program partners. Candidates in these locations should be available for periodic travel and in-person meetings.
