Principal System Engineer

We are seeking a Principal System Engineer (f/m/d) with a strong background and experience in Systems Development for Sensing Applications.

In this position you will fill the role of the System and Product Architect (R&D), support the generation of new product ideas and ensure conceptionally right system and chip architectures.

Your work will provide a solid foundation for the product definition and chip implementation teams.

Activities and Responsibilities:

• You will act as the main interface between the customer (Product Line internal and external customer) and R&D and drive the translation of Customer Requirements into Product Requirements.
• You will challenge the Customer Requirements Specification (CRS) until it is understood and accepted by all parties involved and own the Product Requirements Specification (PRS) and Product Architecture Specification (PAS).
• You will technically lead a cross-functional team and derive the most suitable product architecture, guide the hardware / software system partitioning as well as potential system in package (SiP) approaches and act as peer to the product definition engineer.
• You drive and lead the clarification of technical matters during project execution for the hardware and software design teams e.g., origin of specified requirements, architecture and implementation decisions, trade-off leadership.
• You will drive and lead definition of confirmation measures for Pre-Si, Post-Si and production test.
• A significant part of your role will focus on innovation and the addition of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence features in Sensor Systems.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: You will work alongside product, architecture, and engineering teams to ensure a seamless flow from product concept to execution, ensuring the design is robust and aligned with customer expectations.
• Mentoring: you will mentor junior engineers from different technical background, sharing your expertise in system integration, packaging, and product specification, helping them grow within the team., We have adopted a hybrid model that gives employees the ability to work remotely two days a week while ensuring that we come together as a team in the office the rest of the time. The designated in-office days are Tuesday through Thursday for innovation, collaboration and continuous learning.

• Natural Leadership Skills: You possess strong leadership skills, demonstrated by your ability to influence and guide multi-disciplinary teams. You motivate others and foster a collaborative environment to drive successful outcomes.
• Problem-Solving Expertise: You excel in identifying root causes of complex technical issues and providing effective solutions, ensuring smooth system design and implementation.
• Interdisciplinary Collaboration: You effectively work with cross-functional teams, including Product Line, to ensure customer needs and technical requirements are integrated into the final product.
• Adaptability & Flexibility: You are able to adjust to shifting priorities or technical requirements without losing focus, ensuring the successful completion of projects.
• Effective Communication Skills: You communicate complex technical ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring alignment across teams and customers, * Degree in electronics, electrical engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in integrated circuit design or SiP specification, with a strong focus on System and Product Architecture
• Strong understanding of hardware and software design concepts, including concepts for machine learning and artificial intelligence and their integration into system solutions.
• Deep knowledge of digital and analogue circuit design and system integration.
• Proficiency in system design and simulation tools (e.g. Python, SciKit Learn, Matlab) as well as Cadence based chip design and simulation tools.
• Knowledge / Experience of development for automotive, Functional Safety and Cyber-Security according regulated environment standards e.g. IAT16949, AEC-Qxxx, ISO26262
