Chief Engineer - Hardware & Embedded Systems
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove "REQ #26031 Powered by JazzHR 3QN7bJ7f4a". Also remove "If you require reasonable accommodation..." maybe that's not boilerplate? It's about accommodation request; could be considered part of application instructions? Might be considered part of EEO? It's a contact for accommodation; might be considered part of application instructions. Safer to remove it. Also remove "Unless otherwise stated..." about citizenship etc. That's EEO/legal boilerplate. Remove. Also remove "Intellisense Systems, Inc is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer..." etc. Remove.
We need to keep substantive content: company description, role description, responsibilities list, mentorship & project support paragraph, requirements list, "What You Can Expect" paragraph, Pay Range, Benefits list.
We need to decide sections: Could have About the role (company overview + role description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications? The posting has "Requirements:" list; also "What You Can Expect:" maybe could be under Benefits? But it's more about expectations. Could treat as "What You Can Expect" as a section heading? Not in allowed list; allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could map "What You Can Expect" to maybe "Benefits"? But Benefits already separate. Could put under "About the role"? Might be okay to add a section not in list? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should prefer those headings. Probably we should stick to those headings. So we need to fit content into those sections.
We have:
- About the role: company description + role overview (first paragraphs). Could include "As Chief Engineer, you will be responsible for guiding development..." etc.
- Responsibilities: list after "Responsibilities:" bullet points.
- Requirements: list after "Requirements:" bullet points.
- Qualifications: maybe combine with Requirements? But we have no separate qualifications section; we could omit Qualifications if no specific content besides requirements. But we could treat the "Requirements" list as qualifications. However we need to decide: If we have both Requirements and Qualifications sections, we need content for each. Since we don't have separate qualifications, we could omit Qualifications section.
- Skills: maybe we could extract from requirements list items like "Strong verbal and written communication skills..." etc. Could put under Skills.
- Benefits: list after "Benefits:".
- Pay: line "Pay Range: $200,000 - $300,000 (However, base salary for this position will vary based on your skills, qualifications, and experience)". This is specific content, so we should include Pay section.
- Schedule: not mentioned; location says Torrance, CA (Onsite). No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". The Pay line includes variation note; that's okay.
We need to preserve all substantive info: we must not lose any details from responsibilities, requirements, benefits, pay, etc.
We need to format lists with - . For prose, use
.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.
Company description paragraph(s):
"Intellisense Systems, Inc. is a privately held company with a proven track record of developing and deploying innovative products that successfully operate in the most extreme environments. We are a fast-growing Southern California technology innovator that solves tough, mission-critical challenges for our customers in the aerospace, defense, and commercial markets. We design, develop, and manufacture advanced products for ground, maritime, and airborne applications. We’re seeking a Chief Engineer to join our growing organization to drive successful execution of key technical efforts for DoD applications. As Chief Engineer, you will be responsible for guiding development of new and existing efforts performed by a multi-disciplinary team of electrical, mechanical, firmware, and software engineers. Your role will cover both technical and managerial duties with expectations that you can: Contribute technical output in your field (e.g. electrical, mechanical, software designs)Assess the quality of electronic, mechanical, and software engineering work from other engineers to prevent over-engineering and to eliminate overly complex approachesInfluence the technical direction of each program in coordination with their customers (particularly when unexpected issues arise) to ensure that only the simplest and most direct path is chosenSupport documentation and testing efforts so that designs can be fully qualified and certified against various military and avionics standardsSupport proposal and costing efforts While Intellisense achieves the same levels of certification as large aerospace primes, as a small business Intellisense does so with a mindset of practicality and simplification in order to achieve lower cost and great agility for our customers without compromising quality. Rather than dogmatic or formalized processes that slow innovation, Intellisense expects its staff to have a deep technical understanding of problems that arise to enable pragmatic and efficient problem solving. As such your role as the Chief Engineer at Intellisense will not be high-level and process-focused but rather will consist of direct technical design contributions as well as oversite of the work of others to ensure that successful technical execution is achieved."
We need to split into About the role section: maybe first paragraph(s) up to "We’re seeking a Chief Engineer..." then role description.
We'll keep as prose.
Responsibilities list:
- Write proposals for SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) grants as well as supporting the writing and costing of non-SBIR proposals led by the Intellisense business development department
- Guide testing efforts (e.g., MIL-STD-810, 461, 704, DO-178, etc.) on multiple programs to ensure that the testing performed prioritizes the right aspects of each system to achieve robust and reliable products
- Support creation and presentation of customer deliverables including documents, artifacts, and presentations required for SFR, SRR, PDR, CDR, etc. as well as certification documents
- Engage in hands-on design, troubleshooting, and problem-solving as needed in areas of expertise
- Assert lessons learned and proven design elements in new designs and products
- The ideal candidate is equally comfortable at a lab bench, in a design review, and in a room with a Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or Program Manager discussing schedule and cost
- Perform other duties as assigned
Also there is a Mentorship & Project Support paragraph: "Mentor the engineering team by assessing the quality and simplicity of engineering work produced, and offer guidance to improve those designsSet expectations and offer exemplary work product examples to achieve the best work product from the engineering team". This seems like responsibilities too; could be included under Responsibilities as additional bullet.
We'll include as bullet.
Requirements list:
- Senior Engineering Leadership: BS in Engineering backed by 20+ years of hands-on and strategic engineering experience
- 5+ years driving technical execution within aerospace, defense electronics, and mission systems
- Systems Engineering & Architecture: Proven track record in complex analytical problem-solving and full-lifecycle systems engineering
- Hands-on Technical Expertise: Extensive experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting advanced electronic, electromechanical, and embedded software systems
- Collaborative and adaptable, able to work effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, with experience presenting to customers, program managers, and technical teams
- Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
We could split into Requirements and Skills sections. Skills could be the communication, collaborative, adaptable, managing multiple projects etc. But we can also put all under Requirements. Since we have Skills heading allowed, we could extract skills items.
Let's decide: We'll have Requirements section for the experience/education items (BS, 20+ years, 5+ years, systems engineering, hands-on expertise). Skills section for collaborative, communication, managing multiple projects.
Qualifications section maybe not needed.
Benefits list:
- 4 Weeks PTO a year (including 40 hours of PTO your first day)
- 10 paid holidays
- 401(k) with 100% employer matching up to 4% of salary (no vesting period)

Pay: "$200,000 - $300,000 (However, base salary for this position will vary based on your skills, qualifications, and experience)"
Schedule: none.
Location: Torrance, CA (Onsite) - could be included in About the role paragraph maybe as a note. Not a heading.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat.
