Systems Engineer

About the role

We are seeking a Systems Engineer to join our Battery Controls team. This role involves defining, developing, and verifying complex electrical and embedded systems from concept through production. The ideal candidate will bridge high-level system architecture with low-level hardware validation, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and ensure designs meet safety and regulatory standards.

Responsibilities

• Develop and manage system and sub-system requirements, specifications, and interface documents.
• Define system architecture, electrical interfaces, and high-level design documentation.
• Collaborate with hardware and software engineers on PCB, wiring harness, electromechanical integration, and embedded software.
• Develop test plans, procedures, and reports for both bench-level and system-level testing.
• Lead root-cause analysis, ensure design traceability, and verify compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
• Support manufacturability, cost, and reliability objectives in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Ensure designs comply with relevant safety, environmental, and regulatory standards (e.g., UL, CE, ISO).
• Document technical decisions and provide mentorship to junior engineers.
• Work in a fast-paced environment and adapt to changes in project requirements or timelines.
• Work independently with little to no supervision.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering or related degree.
• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, electrical hardware development, or embedded systems integration.
• Proven track record creating and managing system requirements and performing hardware testing at the circuit and system level.
• Familiarity with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence, Eagle) and electrical test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, power analyzers, logic analyzers).
• Experience with battery systems, power electronics, or embedded control systems is highly desirable.
• Ideal familiarity with safety standards such as ISO 26262 or ISO 13849, particularly in the context of embedded systems.

Qualifications

• Strong systems thinking and requirements development skills.
• Hands-on hardware skills.
• Collaborative mindset and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent documentation and traceability skills.
• Ability to lead projects and mentor junior engineers.
