About the role
- We are looking for a passionate, enthusiastic multidisciplinary engineer, capable of leading the technical decision-making process in electro-mechanical projects that require a solid system architecture.
- Systems Engineers are highly valued and versatile team members.
- They are the linchpin in executing complex electro-mechanical projects from concept to fabrication.
Responsibilities
- Working closely with a Project Manager and Technical Lead, a Systems Engineer guides focused engineering teams through the initial phases of product development.
- In later phases, you'll lead brainstorms, review work, provide technical guidance, and assist with debugging and troubleshooting during integration and validation & verification (V&V) activities.
- As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will: Lead systems engineering efforts for diverse projects, ensuring subsystems integrate effectively and meet performance, cost, and timeline requirements.
- Collaborate with clients and internal teams to define and manage clear, comprehensive, and verifiable system-level requirements, ensuring robust traceability throughout the development lifecycle.
- Develop and maintain system architectures, interface control documents, and other systems engineering artifacts.
- Conduct trade studies and analyses to support critical design decisions and technology selections, incorporating technical risk management practices.
- Develop and execute system-level validation and verification plans.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with internal teams and external clients and drive critical decisions.
Requirements
- We look for creative problem-solvers with a keen eye for detail and the ability to balance competing priorities.
- An ideal candidate possesses a strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering, along with general physics, to effectively communicate and understand their interactions.
- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing.
Nice to have
- Oversee the integration and testing of complex electro-mechanical systems, identifying and resolving cross-disciplinary issues, and leading validation & verification (V&V) efforts.
- Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
- Champion a systems-thinking approach across the organization, promoting best practices in systems engineering, including risk management and robust V&V processes.
- Bachelor of Science in Sr.
- Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 7+ years of professional experience in a systems engineering role with a proven track record of successfully delivering complex, multidisciplinary projects.
- Demonstrated expertise in systems architecture, requirements management (including traceability), trade-off analysis, technical risk management, and integration of hardware and software systems.
- Hands-on experience with the full product development lifecycle, from concept through validation & verification (V&V) to production.
Skills
- Planning technical and programmatic aspects.
- Defining and reviewing complete system architectures, including ensuring traceability of requirements.
- Identifying and managing technical and programmatic risks.
- Identifying key components and technologies.
- Leading technical teams to successful project completion.
Compensation
- $125,000 - $135,000 Salary is dependent on experience, knowledge, and interview performance.
Benefits
- Experience in industries such as automotive, aerospace, robotics, or medical devices.
