Senior Systems Engineer at TSI
The Senior Systems Engineer is a high-profile position with overall technical responsibility for developing a high-quality solution to solve customer requirements. This includes demonstrating a thorough understanding of systems thinking applied to product development, including a broad working knowledge of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, firmware, software, reliability testing, verification, validation, and production. This person will be a member of new product development (NPD) leadership teams, consisting of a systems engineer, project manager and product/marketing manager and will oversee one or more projects. In addition, the Senior Systems Engineer must effectively communicate technical direction to senior management and across functional teams that span all engineering disciplines, marketing, sales, quality, supply chain, and operations.

What Will You Do?

In order to grow and build a successful career with TSI, you will:

• Lead the development of the overall technical solution for new product development projects. This includes development of product requirements and a system architecture to achieve those product requirements. It also includes providing system guidance to engineers in various disciplines (mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software) and validating that the designs developed by the various disciplines integrate correctly and address the product requirements.
• Generate technical requirements based on customer requirements, technical tradeoffs (cost vs. function vs. time-to-market vs. quality), compliance, manufacturing, and service requirements. Work with product manager to validate customer requirements based on the tradeoffs arising from them.
• Develop a system architecture capable of meeting the technical and product requirements. Consider portioning of project into modular subsystems and interfaces, tradeoffs of the proposed design, and reuse of modules.
• Provide high level system context to the engineering (mechanical, electrical hardware, firmware, and desktop/cloud software) team members and validate the output from these teams in the context of the project. Evaluate engineering alternatives understand team capabilities, improve collaboration/interfaces, and reduce risks between the engineering disciplines.
• Gather, develop, and maintain the technical project schedule. Collaborate with the project manager to integrate the technical schedule with the overall schedule that includes non-engineering project members.
• Work with the engineering team to drive the completion of the subsystems and to integrate them together. Validate the quality and fitness for purpose of the various subsystems developed by the individual engineering contributors.
• Ensure compliance, verification, and validation test methods and measurements conform to the product requirements.
• Exhibit high attention to detail and strong organizational skills, including engineering knowledge capture, transfer, presentation, and dissemination during and after a project completion.
• Exhibit excellent communications skills, including demonstrated ability to effectively present information/status to senior management team, customers, project-team members, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders of the product development process.
• Mentor other systems engineers in best practices, by auditing programs led by other systems engineers, hosting systems engineering meetings, and/or developing guidance and procedure documents.

What Do You Need?
Required

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering/science
• 8+ years of engineering responsibilities in technical product development
• Demonstrated technical team leadership in Systems Engineering or Engineering lead/supervisor role
• Experience architecting and delivering embedded systems, including measurement, electrical hardware, mechanical, and embedded, desktop and cloud software
• Experience with leading, developing, documenting, and managing change of product requirements in collaboration with stakeholders
• Demonstrated leadership in technical direction and mentoring, including driving architecture decisions, establishing best practices, and guiding teams through complex development lifecycles
• Extensive experience with verification and validation of products and systems, developing test plans and procedures to verify that the product meets the project requirements and validate that it meets customer expectations
• Willing and excited to learn new technologies

Desired

• Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Engineering or B.S./M.S. degree in systems engineering from an established research institution
• Experience in metrology, filtration, particle measurements in liquids and gases
• Systems engineering responsibilities in technical product development, such as metrology instrumentation, incorporating high-performance mechanical parts, digital/analog electronics, software/firmware, and graphical user interface
