Senior System Engineer

About Blue Heart Energy  Blue Heart Energy was founded in 2016 as a deep-tech company that has developed a new sustainable thermoacoustics technology to radically improve the performance of heat pumps, enabling them to evolve from being the best solution in the market to becoming the perfect solution. Our technology is a disruptive approach to generate heat and cold, with potential to revolutionize the whole industry.
With our so called 'Blue Heart' engine, we turn heat pumps into affordable, silent and flexible devices, capable of working with wide temperature ranges suitable for both new and existing houses. Importantly, Blue Heart doesn't require any refrigerants and doesn't generate any CO2 emissions.

The Blue Heart engine is also used for other (industrial) application to heat or cool.
About the Role  As  Senior   System Engineer (Thermoacoustic Heat Pump Systems) , you will support the development and integration of Blue Heart Energy's thermoacoustic heat pump technology by translating customer and product requirements into clear system specifications and engineering solutions. You will ensure that system requirements, interfaces, and performance targets are consistently implemented across the product and over the product lifecycle.

You will collaborate closely with the Head of Development (who is also our system architect), and the Product and Component Owners to support the development of a reliable, efficient, and compliant heat pump system.
In this role, you will drive the requirements management, verification and validation activities, configuration management and product baselining, support system integration (including interface definition and management), participate in technical trade‑off analyses, and assist in identifying and mitigating technical risks, helping to ensure that subsystem developments align with overall system objectives.
You promote systems thinking throughout the organization by challenging Product and Component Owners in system thinking, and you manage the evidence that the designed system satisfies stakeholder requirements throughout the product lifecycle.
This position offers an excellent opportunity to develop a broad system‑level perspective while working on innovative sustainable heating technology. You will gain experience across multiple engineering disciplines and play an important role in bridging product requirements and technical implementation.
What You’ll Do  System Definition & Documentation   Document system- and sub-system architectures, including functional decomposition
System Design & Integration   (Over time) Build system models to analyze the functional behavior of the system to verify that the specified architecture complies with the customer and product requirements and to predict the effect of design changes on overall system behavior
Define the integration strategy for complete system functionality and performance
Lead the FMEA and risk assessment process, facilitating the System Architect and the Product Owners to identify and manage technical risks.
Perform trade‑off analyses
Requirements & Configuration Management   Lead the requirements management process, including translation of customer and product requirements into system- and component‑level requirements, supporting requirements derivation, budget allocation, etc., and managing requirements traceability
Lead the configuration management process, including requirements baseline, product design baseline, as‑built configuration control, etc.
Verification & Validation  Together with the Product and Component owners you:
Develop and track verification strategies
Define acceptance criteria and performance targets
Support and Oversee integration testing
Support certification and compliance activities
Cross-Functional Collaboration  The Senior System Engineer serves as the connecting link between the different engineering disciplines and facilitates that sub‑system and component‑level decisions contribute to overall product objectives. You are not a replacement for the Product and Component Owners, but rather a partner who enables them to make informed decisions from a total system perspective.…
