Systems Integration and Testing Manager Sandvik has an opportunity for a Systems Integration and Testing Manager in Alachua, Florida, USA (greater Gainesville, FL area). Sandvik is a global engineering leader with over 41,000 employees worldwide. At our Rotary Drilling Division headquarters in Alachua, we design and build world‑class surface mining drill rigs used across the globe. Key Responsibilities Systems Integration Leadership: Coordinate the integration of mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems for new and existing rotary drill products. Ensure all subsystems (PLC‑based controls, hydraulics, structural components, etc.) work together seamlessly, identifying and resolving interface issues early in the development cycle. Testing Strategy and Oversight: Develop and implement system‑level test strategies for product validation. Oversee the creation of test plans, test cases, and procedures to verify that integrated systems meet design specifications and safety standards. Manage both lab‑based testing and field trials (prototype evaluations at mine sites) to validate performance under real‑world conditions. Team Management: Lead a team of engineers. Provide mentorship, set priorities, and foster a collaborative culture focused on quality and continuous improvement. Drive team efforts to meet project milestones and product release deadlines. Issue Resolution: Oversight of troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis for system‑level issues that arise during integration or testing. Guide the team in diagnosing complex problems that span multiple domains and drive timely resolutions and design improvements. Quality and Compliance: Uphold Sandvik’s safety and quality standards. Demonstrate respect and commitment to the IMS system (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018) and ensure all testing follows Zero Harm safety practices. Verify that products meet relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements through proper test documentation and analysis. Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product design engineers, software developers, and project managers in the Product Development & Management department. Ensure integration and testing considerations are built into the product development process by participating in design reviews and sprint planning. Process Improvement: Stay abreast of the latest tools and methodologies for system integration and testing. Introduce best practices such as test automation, simulation, and Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) testing to improve test coverage and efficiency. Champion a culture of continuous improvement in integration processes and testing methods. Education, Licenses & Certifications Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or related field) required. Master’s degree is a plus. Professional certifications such as Project Management Professional (PMP), Certified Test Manager (ISTQB CTAL), or relevant Six Sigma/quality certifications are desirable, but not required. Required Experience, Skills, Knowledge & Abilities Work Authorization: Ability to work in the U.S. on an indefinite basis without sponsorship. Functional Experience: 8+ years in product development, system integration, and testing of complex electromechanical systems (e.g., heavy machinery, off‑road equipment, automotive, or similar domains). At least 3+ years in a leadership role managing engineers or technical projects. Industry Experience (Preferred): Experience in the mining equipment sector or heavy mobile machinery. Domain Knowledge: Solid understanding of integrating hardware and software systems; experience with industrial control systems and communication protocols (PLCs, CAN bus) and familiarity with hydraulics and electrical systems in heavy equipment. Technical Expertise: Proven ability to oversee multidisciplinary system integration and develop effective test strategies for complex machinery. Comfortable reading engineering drawings, electrical schematics, and software logic. Problem Solving: Excellent troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis skills. Able to diagnose issues that span mechanical, electrical, and software domains. Project & Delivery Focus: Strong project management abilities, adept at planning, organizing, and delivering integration and testing activities on time. Leadership & Communication: Effective leader with experience building and motivating engineering teams. Strong communicator who can coordinate cross‑functional efforts and clearly convey technical information. Collaboration: Demonstrated ability to work across departments (Design, R&D, Product Management, Field Service) to achieve common goals. Advanced Skills (Preferred): Familiarity with product lifecycle management tools (e.g., Teamcenter), test automation frameworks, simulation/HIL testing setups, and safety standards (ISO/IEC).
