Systems Engineer - Electrical Calibration

Fluke Calibration is seeking an experienced Staff Systems Engineer to provide system-level technical leadership for Electrical Calibration (ECAL) products based at Fluke Park, Everett, sustaining industry-leading calibrators while defining architectures for next-generation platforms.

You will own end-to-end system behavior across hardware, firmware, software, manufacturing, and service, serving as technical authority for architectural decisions, risk management, and long-term product integrity across multi-decade life cycles.

This role requires strong technical judgment and cross-functional influence to balance metrology performance with manufacturability, supply-chain longevity, and serviceability in partnership with Product, Engineering, Operations, and Service.

• Own and evolve system architectures for sustaining and next-generation ECAL platforms.
• Serve as technical authority for tradeoffs (accuracy, stability, control, thermals, cost, risk, and supportability).
• Guide architecture across Electrical, Firmware, Software, Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Service.

• Define, document, and manage system requirements that translate customer, regulatory, and metrology needs into executable designs.
• Ensure requirements traceability from concept through verification, production, and sustaining.
• Lead system-level design reviews and provide technical direction on complex or ambiguous problems.

• Provide senior technical leadership for sustaining programs, including component EOL mitigation, factory transfers, performance improvements, and field issue resolution.
• Ensure system integrity and calibration performance are preserved across design changes and manufacturing updates.
• Act as a key knowledge steward for long-lived platforms, supporting onboarding and technical continuity.

• Ensure system designs are robust, manufacturable, and verifiable, supporting low-volume / high-mix production environments.
• Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, and Service teams to define test strategies, calibration flows, and service models.
• Support verification and validation activities to ensure products meet Fluke standards for accuracy, safety, and reliability.

• Collaborate closely with Product Management to align technical decisions with business and customer priorities.
• Influence without authority across multiple teams and sites, including global development and manufacturing partners.
• Communicate complex system concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Bachelor or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical field.
• Extensive experience in system-level design and technical leadership for complex electronic products.
• Strong foundation in precision analog and digital electronics, control systems, and calibration or measurement systems.
• Proven ability to lead technical direction across disciplines without direct managerial authority.
• Experience working with microprocessors, DSPs, FPGAs, and laboratory instrumentation (DMMs, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, calibrators).
• Strong technical documentation, review, and communication skills.

• Experience designing and sustaining test, measurement, or calibration products with long service lifetimes.
• Familiarity with global compliance and safety standards (e.g., CE, FCC, RoHS, IEC 61010).
• Experience supporting manufacturing scale‑up, factory transitions, or long‑term supply chain strategies.
• Demonstrated history of solving ambiguous, system-level technical problems with durable solutions.
