Systems Integration and Testing Manager

Sandvik has an opportunity for a Systems Integration and Testing Manager in Alachua, Florida USA (greater Gainesville, FL area).). 

About Sandvik 

Sandvik is a global engineering leader with over 41,000 employees worldwide. We’re proud to be ranked among Forbes’ Top 100 Global Employers. At our Rotary Drilling Division headquarters in Alachua, Florida, we design and build world-class surface mining drill rigs used across the globe. Our culture is driven by innovation, collaboration, and a passion for solving real-world challenges — all in a fun, inclusive, and rewarding work environment. 

The Systems Integration and Testing Manager leads a multidisciplinary engineering team to ensure that complex mining equipment systems (mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and software) are seamlessly integrated and thoroughly tested. This role combines system integration and system testing responsibilities, driving end-to-end product validation. The Manager owns the integration of subsystems on rotary drill rigs and oversees the development and execution of comprehensive test plans to guarantee product performance, safety, and reliability. This position is primarily office-based in Alachua, FL, with domestic and international travel as needed to support field testing and deployment. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Systems Integration Leadership: Coordinate the integration of mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems for new and existing rotary drill products. Ensure all subsystems (PLC-based controls, hydraulics, structural components, etc.) work together seamlessly, identifying and resolving interface issues early in the development cycle. 

• Testing Strategy and Oversight: Develop and implement system-level test strategies for product validation. Oversee the creation of test plans, test cases, and procedures to verify that integrated systems meet design specifications and safety standards. Manage both lab-based testing and field trials (e.g. prototype evaluations at mine sites) to validate performance under real-world conditions. 

• Team Management: Lead a team of engineers. Provide mentorship, set priorities, and foster a collaborative culture focused on quality and continuous improvement. Drive team efforts to meet project milestones and product release deadlines. 

• Issue Resolution: Oversee troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for any system-level issues that arise during integration or testing. Guide the team in diagnosing complex problems that span multiple domains (mechanical, electrical, software) and drive timely resolutions and design improvements.  

• Quality and Compliance: Uphold Sandvik’s safety and quality standards. Demonstrate respect and commitment to the IMS system (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018) taking accountability for its effectiveness and continued improvements. Ensure all testing follows Zero Harm safety practices and that any incidents or hazards during testing are addressed. Verify that products meet relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements through proper test documentation and analysis. 

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product design engineers, software developers, and project managers in the Product Development & Management department. Ensure integration and testing considerations are built into the product development process (e.g. participate in design reviews and sprint planning to represent integration/test needs).
