Fuel your passion

As a Systems Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring image quality, system reliability, and usability across a wide range of industrial inspection applications. You will collaborate across engineering disciplines, support NPI programs, and drive system‑level decision‑making throughout the product lifecycle.

As a Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for:

Defining and managing system requirements by:

• Developing system and subsystem requirements with full traceability

• Refining system architecture across optical, electrical, mechanical, and software domains

• Conducting system‑level trade studies balancing performance, cost, and manufacturability

Leading system integration & troubleshooting by:

• Integrating hardware and software components including imaging pipelines and illumination systems

• Debugging electromechanical behavior such as articulation mechanisms

• Managing technical risks related to imaging, illumination, durability, and reliability

Driving verification & validation (V&V) by:

• Executing image quality validation (resolution, noise, lighting performance)

• Conducting reliability testing for harsh industrial environments

• Analyzing and presenting system performance data

Supporting cross‑functional engineering & NPI by:

• Collaborating with EE, ME, Software, Optical, and Manufacturing teams

• Supporting NPI programs from concept through release

• Providing subsystem‑level technical leadership and mentoring junior engineers

• Driving DFMEA and risk reduction activities

To be successful in this role you will:

Qualifications / Requirements

• Have bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering

• Have 5–10 years of experience in product development or system integration

• Have experience with complex electromechanical systems

• Have strong understanding of requirements definition, system integration, and V&V methodologies

• Have experience working in cross‑functional engineering teams

• Have strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills

Desired Characteristics

• Experience with imaging or optical systems

• Familiarity with embedded systems or video/data processing pipelines

• Experience with ruggedized or industrial products

• Hands‑on debugging across hardware/software boundaries

• Experience working where image acquisition, processing, and UI are tightly coupled

• Familiarity with requirements management tools

• Strong system‑level thinking and ability to drive technical tradeoffs

Typical Scope / Impact

You will own subsystem‑level architecture and integration outcomes, resolve cross‑disciplinary issues, and directly influence image quality, product reliability, and user experience. You will operate across the full product lifecycle—from concept through design, integration, validation, and release.
