LinHR‘ Client is a leading global tier 1 auto parts supplier, celebrated for its innovation and excellence in the automotive industry. With two major Engineering sites in the USA—located in Moraine, OH, and Brighton, MI—and a combined team of approximately 150 employees, we are committed to driving technological progress and nurturing a vibrant, collaborative work environment.

We are seeking seeking Systems Engineer is responsible for the endtoend definition, design, integration, and verification of complex systems, ensuring that functional, performance, safety, and reliability requirements are met. The Engineer works across disciplines (hardware, software, test, manufacturing, and customers) to translate needs into requirements, develop system architectures, manage interfaces, and support validation and launch.

• Elicit, analyze, and document stakeholder and customer needs, and translate them into clear system and subsystem requirements.
• Develop and maintain system architectures, block diagrams, and interface definitions that allocate requirements to hardware, software, and other system elements.
• Manage requirements traceability throughout the lifecycle, ensuring each requirement is implemented, verified, and validated.
• Coordinate and lead technical discussions between hardware, software, test, and manufacturing teams to resolve system level issues and make design tradeoffs.
• Define and manage system interfaces (electrical, mechanical, network, software) and ensure compatibility across all subsystems.
• Support development of system level Design Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (DFMEA) and risk assessments; track and drive closure of key technical risks.
• Contribute to the creation and execution of Verification and Validation (V&V) plans, including test strategies, test cases, and acceptance criteria at system and subsystem levels.
• Analyze test results and field data to confirm system performance, identify root causes of issues, and support corrective actions and design improvements.
• Support change management by assessing system level impact of proposed design changes and updating requirements, architectures, and documentation as needed.
• Prepare and present technical reviews, status updates, and decision papers to internal stakeholders and, when required, to customers.
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives related to systems engineering methods, tools, and best practices.

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience in systems engineering, product development, or a closely related role working with multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to decompose high level customer needs into system and subsystem requirements and maintain traceability.
• Familiarity with system architecture development, interface control, and documentation practices.
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills, with the ability to understand interactions between hardware, software, and processes.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present technical topics to nonspecialists.
• Proficiency with standard office tools and comfort learning specialized engineering or requirements tools.

• Experience with requirements management tools (for example DOORS, Jama, Polarion, or similar).
• Background in a relevant domain (e.g., automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment, medical devices, or telecom).
• Knowledge of systems engineering standards or frameworks (for example INCOSE practices, ISO/IEC 15288, or similar).
• Experience with model based systems engineering (MBSE) methods and tools (e.g., SysML).
