About the Role

Trystar is searching for a highly skilled Senior Systems Engineer I to lead the design and integration of electromechanical subsystems and contribute significantly to system-level engineering of advanced electrical power solutions. In this role, you will own key portions of system architecture, requirements development, and technical execution across the product lifecycle—from concept through validation and production. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure designs meet performance, safety, and reliability requirements while resolving system integration challenges.

This is an excellent opportunity for a capable engineer to expand their ownership, lead key technical efforts, and make a meaningful impact across multidisciplinary teams. We value our guiding principles: Safety, Integrity, Customer Focus, Right with Speed, Play for Each Other, Champion Change, and Enjoy the Journey.
