Systems Engineer

We are looking for a Systems Engineer to join the team and bridge the gap between complex subsystem designs and high-level product architecture. You will define technical requirements, interfaces, and integration strategies that ensure large-scale energy storage systems operate reliably and safely.

This role requires collaboration across multidisciplinary teams including mechanical, electrical, controls, and manufacturing engineering.

Responsibilities

• Define and manage system-level requirements, functional specifications, and interface control documents for core battery system architecture.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and firmware engineering teams to ensure subsystem designs are integrated and meet performance targets.
• Lead system-level validation and integration testing, developing test plans that verify safety, reliability, and functionality.
• Perform trade-off analyses to optimize system performance, cost, and manufacturability while identifying risks early in development.
• Conduct root cause analysis for complex system-level failures and implement engineering solutions cross-functionally.
• Decompose requirements and functions from system-level down to component-level while ensuring traceability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering (Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, or equivalent) with 3+ years of professional experience.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles, including requirements management, interface definition, and lifecycle development.
• Experience in multidisciplinary integration, preferably in power electronics, battery systems, or large-scale electro-mechanical hardware.
• Proficiency with electrical battery systems.
• Proficiency with technical modeling and documentation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, SysML, or similar.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Salary Range

• $115,000-130,000
• The actual salary offered depends on qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without discrimination based on protected characteristics.
