As the Advanced Systems Engineer, you will participate in the product development process from concept to product launch. The emphasis will be on defining the solution that will be consistent with customer, industry, and regulatory requirements. You will be responsible for the design of the system and validating its integrity. Your contribution will ensure that the product at the sub‑system and system level meets or exceeds performance targets, meets high quality standards, and will maintain performance targets under manufacturing process variation at high volume.

As a Systems Engineer, you will act as a fulcrum between Program Management, Product Management, and discipline engineers (both hardware and software) during the product development phase.

In addition, you will be writing requirements, defining test responsibilities for verification and validation, and navigating a team of interdisciplinary engineers through the technical aspects of product development, which includes technology integration, trade‑off analysis, and troubleshooting.

The ideal candidate will have experience with a requirements management tool like Polarion, JAMA or DOORs. The ideal candidate will also have experience in optical or radio‑frequency systems, or both.
