Systems Engineer III

Systems Engineer IIIThe Systems Engineer III leads the development, definition, and maintenance of system level requirements and documentation throughout the product lifecycle. This role ensures that customer needs are accurately translated into system specifications, and that verification and validation activities confirm compliance with those requirements. The Engineer III collaborates across engineering disciplines to support system architecture decisions, contributes to test strategy development, and participates in technical design reviews to ensure alignment with product objectives.The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who treats formal systems engineering artifacts (DVPR, DFMEA, ICDs) as tools to drive design, development, and testing, working directly and collaboratively with engineering teams.Major ResponsibilitiesGathers, captures, writes and maintains customer needs and system level requirementsOwns the Design Verification Plan & Report (DVPR), using it to drive design, development, and test decisions rather than as a compliance artifactReviews results and evidence to establish if the system requirements have been metProvides inputs to the systems test strategy and supports test scheduleWorks across engineering functions to define the system/product strategyCoordinates and participates in technical designs and reviewsLeads DFMEA development and applies its findings to drive design improvements and risk-based verificationContributes hands-on to design and development, including firmware development and debugging, PCB bring-up and debugging, and mechanical and thermal designCreates and maintains block and boundary diagrams, system inputs, and outputs via an Interface Control DocumentOwns system level documentation and maintains it throughout the product lifecycleMakes key decisions during the design phase of the project using established methods and procedures and explains those decisions to a broader teamIdentifies and analyzes risk and opportunities on a project providing context, probability, consequences, thresholds, priorities, risk action and status, and a plan of actionCommunicates risks and opportunities to the broader team seeking inputs, and guidance from subject matter experts as requiredSupports product development plans in delivery of on-schedule, on-cost, on-quality, compliant solutionsMinimum Job RequirementsEducation: BS Mechanical/Electrical/Software/Systems EngineeringWork Experience: 5+ years of relevant work experienceKnowledge / Skills / AbilitiesExperience with systems integration and troubleshootingHands-on design and development experience (e.g., firmware development and debugging, PCB bring-up and debugging, mechanical and/or thermal design)Strong communication and interpersonal skillsWorking knowledge of product development lifecycle, concept through launchExcellent problem-solving and analytical skillsTeam player with ability to participate in cross-functional teams to achieve a common goalWe are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
