About the role
- Success in this role requires deep collaboration with scientists, rapid learning, and the ability to introduce structure only where it accelerates progress.
- This is a technical leadership role with broad influence across teams.
- Authority comes from clarity, usefulness, and trust - not from gatekeeping or heavy process.
Responsibilities
- Build trust by accurately reflecting scientific intent and constraints in system models, requirements, and architectural decisions.
- Explicitly document uncertainty, assumptions, and open questions
- Develop and maintain a living system architecture covering:
- Lead system-level trade studies and technical decision-making in partnership with engineering and scientific leaders.
- Define and drive a system integration and test strategy appropriate for an evolving R&D machine.
- Partner with engineering teams to define validation criteria tied to real machine behavior.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in systems engineering or system architecture for complex hardware-software systems.
- Proven experience integrating multidisciplinary systems (hardware, software, controls).
- Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-evolving R&D environments.
- Strong background in requirements definition, interface management, and system integration.
- Exceptional communication and collaboration skills.
Nice to have
- Experience in aerospace, automotive, robotics, advanced instrumentation, or similar domains.
- Familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) concepts or tools.
- Experience working closely with research or experimental teams.
- Exposure to quantum technologies is a plus, but not required.
- Personal Attributes We Value
- Intellectual humility and curiosity
- Bias toward clarity and usefulness
- Strong listening skills
Benefits
- Treat scientists as primary system knowledge holders, approaching requirement gathering as a learning and synthesis exercise.
