Systems Engineer (Product Portfolio Enhancement)

Quick Facts

• Role: Systems Engineer supporting Product Portfolio Enhancement

• Focus: System-level responsibility for existing products in series life

Description

Take system-level responsibility for existing products in series production, ensuring performance, reliability, and compliance with requirements. Define, analyze, and maintain system requirements and architecture for technical changes and lifecycle improvements, and drive engineering changes across mechanics, electronics, software, and fluid systems. Lead root-cause analysis for field issues and quality or performance gaps, and implement improvements for quality, cost optimization, and obsolescence management.

Responsibilities

• Own system requirements, architecture, interfaces, risk analysis, and validation strategy

• Lead and support engineering changes (ECM) across mechanics, electronics, software, and fluids

• Perform root cause analysis and resolve field/quality/performance deviations

• Drive product improvements (quality enhancement, cost optimization, obsolescence management)

• Ensure technical alignment across R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and After-Sales

• Apply systems engineering methods and ensure proper documentation and traceability

Requirements

• Master’s degree in Engineering (mechanical, mechatronics, electrical/electronic, physics, materials) or equivalent (Systems Engineering background is a plus)

• 5+ years of industrial product development experience; ideally with responsibility for products in series life

• Multidisciplinary systems experience (mechanics, electronics, software, fluid systems)

• Knowledge of product lifecycle management, engineering change processes, and continuous improvement

• Solid systems engineering skills: requirements management, system architecture, interface definition, risk analysis, validation

• Understanding of manufacturing constraints, cost drivers, and industrialization processes

• Experience with PLM, CAD, simulation, and requirements management tools

• AI tools knowledge is an asset

• Structured, analytical, hands-on mindset with strong ownership of product performance

• Excellent communication and coordination skills to influence cross-functional decisions

• Fluent English; based in Tuttlingen with occasional travel

Benefits

• Secure environment with strong team spirit and collaborative culture

• Flat hierarchies and short decision-making paths

• Attractive compensation package with performance-based elements and comprehensive benefits
