Systems Engineer

About the role

We are seeking a Systems Engineer to serve as the technical owner of embedded controller hardware and platform systems that support Ingersoll Rand’s industrial products. This role focuses on defining, validating, and ensuring system-level performance across hardware, firmware, and software while partnering with global engineering and product teams.

Responsibilities

• Translate product and platform requirements into clear, testable system-level definitions
• Own system design of controller hardware, including I/O, communication interfaces, and machine integration
• Define system interface requirements and constraints (timing, power, safety, thermal) across subsystems
• Maintain end-to-end requirements traceability from concept through validation and release
• Identify risks, integration issues, and system-level challenges early in the design process
• Collaborate with Test and QA teams to define validation criteria and verify system readiness
• Use field data and system telemetry to validate design performance and drive continuous improvement
• Partner with global engineering, product, and cross-functional teams to support development and execution

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in systems, controls, or embedded engineering

Core Competencies:

• Strong understanding of embedded controller systems and hardware platforms
• Knowledge of industrial communication protocols (CAN, RS485, SPI/I2C)
• Experience with system requirements development and traceability tools (ALM/PLM)
• Familiarity with regulatory and safety standards (UL, IEC, ISO, EMI/EMC)
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts across multidisciplinary teams

Preferences

• Experience with embedded systems (microcontrollers, RTOS, embedded Linux)
• Familiarity with model-based systems engineering or hardware-in-the-loop testing
• Exposure to power electronics, motor controls, or drive systems
• Experience with system-level risk analysis (DFMEA, hazard analysis)
• Experience working across hardware, firmware, and software integration in product development environments
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across global teams and stakeholders
• Experience supporting product testing, validation, and issue resolution

Pay

The pay range for this role is $85,000 – $100,000. The pay range considers a wide range of factors that include a candidate’s skills, experience, training, and geographic location.
