## Description

* Mission-Driven: We're transforming retail with cutting-edge technology and building something that truly matters.
 * Collaborative Team: We thrive on curiosity, shared goals, and solving complex problems together.
 * High Impact: You'll make meaningful contributions from day one and help shape the future of our product and company.
 * Clear Communication: We value honesty, humility, and respectful dialogue-everyone's voice matters.
 * Balanced Lives: We work hard, but not at the expense of well-being. We respect time, boundaries, and life outside of work.
 * Diverse Perspectives: We believe better ideas come from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints.
 * Empathy-Driven Design: We build with deep respect for our end users, listening closely to their feedback and needs., Radar is hiring a Systems Engineer who will take end-to-end ownership of one or more system-level features - from ideation through implementation, testing, debug, and customer release. The purpose of this role is to ensure key features are delivered to customers with high quality. You'll collaborate cross functionally with embedded software, cloud, and hardware engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of feature components. This role is a blend of systems engineering, program management, and data analytics. Ultimately, you will be leading the problem solving process, writing requirements, coordinating cross-functionally, analyzing data - whatever it takes to understand the problem and ship the fix to meet the customer's expectations., * End-to-end Ownership: take a feature from ideation or debug to customer release, with clear requirements, testing and cross-functional contributions
 * Problem Definition: Triage the current state of each assigned feature - clearly define the problem through test data analysis and determine whether design changes, debug and/or improvements are necessary
 * Requirements: Write detailed, testable feature requirements with well-defined acceptance criteria for testing to ensure the implemented feature meets both internal and customer expectations. Decompose requirements to subsystem levels to inform required component performance.
 * Data Analysis: Create and run your own data analyses in Python/SQL as needed; synthesize findings from other team members. Dig into production data from stores to understand how features are performing in the field
 * Timeline and Plan: Create and execute a plan for feature problem resolution and release. Communicate the plan with scope and timing to engineering and product leadership, * Dive into the current status of the feature to understand where the gaps or potential failure modes exist.
 * Create a plan mapping out all required work and identifying key blockers for success. Develop relationships with key contributors and stakeholders for the scoped work
 * Familiarize yourself with Radar's tools and testing capabilities - understand existing test setups and data infrastructure, with capabilities to analyze relevant data as needed.

In your first 90 days, you will:

 * Understand the full scope of your assigned feature, with a plan for maintaining high quality through the upcoming release cycle
 * Lead a standing weekly cross-functional feature meeting where feature design, implementation, and test are planned and reviewed
 * Create a set of requirements to outline the key performance required for your feature. Complete hands-on data analysis to characterize the performance of your feature and compare against the stated requirements.
