About the Role
Position: Systems Engineer

A leading technology company specializing in advanced augmented reality (AR) and aviation systems is looking for a highly motivated Systems Engineer. This role is essential to the coordination, integration, and management of sophisticated engineering systems that combine cutting-edge hardware and software components. The ideal candidate will bring a strong systems thinking mindset, technical depth, and collaborative energy to ensure well-architected solutions and high-performance outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate high-level product requirements into subsystem and component specifications.

• Conduct trade studies, technical analysis, and performance optimization across the system.

• Collaborate across disciplines—hardware, software, optics, avionics, and more—to develop cohesive and feasible system designs.

• Maintain comprehensive system specifications and a requirements management database.

• Develop and update system block diagrams and interface control documentation (ICDs).

• Monitor and manage allocations for weight, power, and other key resource budgets.

• Work closely with test engineering teams to verify system performance and requirement compliance.

• Lead planning and execution of system integration and verification activities.

• Participate in Change Control Board (CCB) processes and provide detailed impact assessments.

• Identify technical risks early and lead mitigation planning and execution.

• Act as a key technical liaison, ensuring strong communication across all engineering and product teams.

Key Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, particularly in projects that integrate both hardware and software.

• Solid foundation in hardware-focused systems (e.g., sensors, cameras, drones, robotics).

• Proven experience with trade studies and technical evaluations for informed design choices.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
