Product Systems Engineer

Systems Engineer

Simco-Ion Technology is seeking a Systems Engineer to support product development and sustaining engineering across the full product lifecycle—from concept through production and post-release support within the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) industry. This role focuses on system-level design, testing, troubleshooting, and cross-functional coordination to ensure product performance, manufacturability, and reliability.

• Provide end-to-end engineering support for released products, ensuring system performance, reliability, and stability across field and manufacturing environments
• Investigate and resolve system-level issues spanning hardware and firmware, driving root cause analysis and corrective actions
• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers to address technical challenges and ensure production readiness
• Support component sourcing and qualification through technical guidance with suppliers and purchasing teams

• Lead failure analysis activities, including RMA evaluation, field data analysis, and trend identification
• Drive corrective and preventive actions to address systemic issues and improve product reliability and serviceability
• Prioritize and execute improvements based on customer impact and business needs
• Support ISO and quality system requirements through proper documentation and testing practices.
• Identify opportunities for design, reliability, cost, or process improvements.
• Maintain working knowledge of ESD standards, materials, and applicable regulations.

• Plan, execute, and document functional, system-level, and validation testing for prototypes and released products
• Develop test procedures and analyze results to support design verification and issue resolution
• Debug system-level failures using standard lab equipment and correlate behavior across subsystems.

• Support production ramp and ongoing manufacturing operations by resolving technical issues and improving yield
• Coordinate engineering release activities and maintain accurate documentation and configuration control
• Address production and customer-impacting issues in collaboration with cross-functional teams

• Manage hardware lifecycle activities, including obsolescence mitigation, redesign, and validation of updated components and PCBs
• Ensure system integration, signal integrity, power distribution, and manufacturability requirements are met
• Contribute to system requirements definition, interface design, and performance criteria

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware and supporting software for product features and system updates
• Develop drivers, hardware abstraction layers, and communication interfaces (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART)
• Support hardware revisions through firmware updates, bring-up, and validation on new platforms
• Develop and execute unit, integration, and system-level tests; optimize performance, memory, and power usage
• Contribute to code quality, architecture decisions, and continuous improvement of development tools and processes

• Bachelor's degree in electrical, or related Engineering discipline
• 3+ years of experience in product development, systems engineering, or sustaining engineering roles
• Hands-on experience with prototyping, testing, and engineering release activities.
• Familiarity with system-level troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
• Working knowledge of ECO/ECR processes and manufacturing handoff.
• Exposure to RMA analysis and sustaining engineering
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office products and common engineering tools (CAD, AutoCAD, Solid Works etc.).
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced development environment.
• Proficient with standard Bench test equipment, i.e. Oscilloscope, DMM,

• Master's degree is preferred in Electrical related Engineering discipline.
• Knowledge of ESD standards and electronics manufacturing is strongly preferred.
