Senior Systems Engineer

Responsibilities

• Translate high-level product needs into system-level specifications, design requirements, interface requirements, and verification criteria that guide engineering decisions.
• Develop and maintain validation and compliance test matrices for assigned products and platforms.
• Identify technical, compliance, and programmatic risks early in the design process; assess tradeoffs and help develop mitigation plans that reduce risk to schedule, cost, quality, and certification.
• Interpret and apply complex safety, EMC, performance, and environmental standards and codes to SENS product designs.
• Provide actionable compliance design requirements such as pollution degree, creepage and clearance, hipot voltages, thermal limits, circuit protection, wiring, terminations, and enclosure requirements.
• Cook up product compliance submittals, testing, follow-up service reports, and maintenance with certification agencies such as UL, seismic certification bodies, ABS, and others.
• Perform compliance assessments, testing, and documentation for self-declarations and customer requirements, including CE marking, NFPA 110, RoHS, REACH, Conflict Minerals, and related obligations.
• Define and maintain traceability between requirements, design elements, compliance obligations, and verification activities.
• Cook up system architecture definition across hardware, software, interfaces, wiring, data flows, and product-level dependencies.
• Cook up integration activities across electrical, mechanical, firmware/software, manufacturing, and documentation teams to ensure subsystems work together as intended.
• Plan and support system-level testing to confirm that products meet functional, reliability, regulatory, and customer requirements.
• Facilitate peer-to-peer and cross-functional design reviews to ensure designs satisfy system requirements and regulatory expectations.
• Generate and maintain customer-facing technical specifications, specification tables, and specifying engineer documentation as needed.
• Maintain compliance test equipment, calibrations, procedures, and working knowledge of standards changes that apply to SENS products.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, systems engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• 5+ years of relevant engineering experience in systems engineering, product engineering, regulatory compliance, or certification for hardware-based products.
• Demonstrated experience delivering hardware-based products to market.
• Strong understanding of AC/DC power circuits, circuit protection, system wiring and terminations, power supplies, batteries, and industrial power products.
• Experience translating customer, regulatory, and product needs into clear requirements, specifications, design inputs, and verification plans.
• Working knowledge of safety, EMC, performance, and environmental standards that apply to industrial electrical equipment and power conversion products.
• Working knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) as it relates to equipment design.
• Experience interpreting standards and converting them into practical design, documentation, and test requirements.
• Strong troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, systems-level thinking, problem solving, time management, and critical thinking skills.
• Highly organized and able to manage multiple priorities under time pressure while maintaining attention to technical detail.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively across engineering, sales, manufacturing, product management, customers, and certification agencies.
• Customer-focused and reliability-focused mindset with a strong commitment to product quality and engineering process discipline.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with industrial battery chargers, DC power systems, inverters, engine starting systems, energy storage systems, or related power conversion products.
• Product certification experience with UL, seismic, ABS, CE marking, or similar certification and compliance programs.
• Experience with standards such as UL 1012, UL 1236, UL 508A, UL 1973, and UL 1741.
• Experience developing requirements traceability, system architecture documentation, validation matrices, or specifying engineer documentation.
• Experience supporting products from concept and feasibility through certification, production launch, and field support.
