Systems Engineer III; Controls

Position Title

Systems Engineer III (Controls)

Enterprise division, Montgomery, AL or Roswell, GA (Onsite)

• Translate product needs into clear, testable controller system requirements and maintain them through the product lifecycle.
• Define controller system architecture at the functional‑block level (inputs, outputs, interfaces, modes) and maintain interface control documents (ICDs).
• Support and partner with project management for electronic control system development and verification activities, ensuring projects are executed efficiently and effectively.
• Plan and drive system work‑product reviews, track and close action items, and own on‑time release of system engineering documentation.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally to continuously improve system work products, processes, and quality criteria.
• Engage with software, hardware, test, and product development teams throughout the product life cycle, ensuring seamless integration of system engineering work products.
• Utilize systems engineering tools to create and maintain a requirements traceability matrix that maps controller requirements to associated verification activities and results; participate in and sometimes lead system‑level verification activities.
• Participate in product design reviews to ensure products meet hardware and software feature requirements from a systems perspective.
• Coordinate with manufacturing engineering and suppliers to define manufacturing test requirements and review control documentation (not hands‑on fixture design).
• Support customer service and training teams with system‑level documentation, configuration guidance, and issue triage to drive customer satisfaction.
• Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory and functional safety standards by contributing to requirements, verification evidence, and documentation prepared for agency reviews (e.g., UL, IEC, CE).

• Requires a bachelor’s or foreign equivalent degree in Engineering (Electrical, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field).
• Requires 5+ years of progressive experience developing products or testing embedded microprocessor‑based controls.
• Must have demonstrated 3+ years of experience in the following:
• Reading and implementing technical procedures and government regulations, as well as interpreting schematic, electrical, and mechanical diagrams;
• Applying functional safety standards and/or agency certification requirements (e.g., UL, IEC, CE or other regulatory bodies) within a product development context;
• Working with cross‑functional teams, including product managers, engineers, business teams, and external subject matter experts;
• Managing embedded systems development over the entire product lifecycle;
• Working with product and component level FMEAs and electronics failure analysis;
• Delivering system‑level work products for electronic controls (e.g., requirements, interface definitions, architecture models) and collaborating with electronics or embedded software teams; hands‑on circuit or firmware ownership is not required for this role;
• Authoring and maintaining system requirements, performing requirements allocation, maintaining traceability, and developing/executing system‑level test cases.
• Proven ability to “drive” systems engineering deliverables (e.g., requirements baselining, reviews, traceability closure, verification reporting) across a project as an individual contributor in collaboration with a project manager.
• Experience may be, but need not be, acquired concurrently.

• Experience with Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methods and tools (e.g., SysML).
• Exposure to Jama/DOORS/Polarion (or equivalent) for requirements management, and defect management tools (e.g., JIRA).
• Familiarity with HVAC/water heating domain controls or electromechanical systems.
