## Description

This onsite Sr. Systems Engineer role focuses on the design, development, verification, and validation of complex electro-mechanical systems. You apply intensive and diversified knowledge of design principles and engineering practices to generate design concepts, participate in design reviews, and develop and execute test methods to assess performance against design specifications. You make independent decisions, support reliability testing, and assess system interactions, while also assisting in the development of manufacturing processes and troubleshooting issues to identify root causes and implement robust engineering solutions., * Apply advanced systems engineering principles to the design, implementation, and optimization of complex electro-mechanical systems.

 * Generate and refine design concepts, ensuring they meet functional, performance, and regulatory requirements.
 * Participate actively in design reviews, providing technical input, identifying risks, and proposing solutions.
 * Develop test methods, including the design of experiments (DoE), to evaluate system performance against design specifications.
 * Use Python or similar tools to perform data analysis on test outputs, including digital sensor outputs, and interpret results to guide design decisions.
 * Design, build, and refine test beds to support verification, validation, and reliability testing activities.
 * Develop comprehensive testing plans that cover requirements verification, validation, and system-level interactions.
 * Execute hands-on testing protocols, including setup, operation, and monitoring of test equipment and systems.
 * Author detailed technical documents such as test protocols, test reports, design documentation, and risk assessments.
 * Manage the defect lifecycle by collecting, documenting, and summarizing defects, and communicating findings to development partners.
 * Perform troubleshooting on complex systems to identify, isolate, and resolve technical issues, including root cause analysis.
 * Support reliability testing and assess system interactions to ensure robust, safe, and effective system performance.
 * Assist in the development and optimization of manufacturing processes, including feedback from testing and troubleshooting activities.
 * Apply risk and requirements management practices to ensure traceability from requirements through verification and validation.
 * Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including development, quality, and manufacturing, to ensure alignment throughout the product lifecycle.
 * Operate effectively in a regulated environment by following established procedures and supporting compliance with applicable standards and regulations., This is an onsite role for a motivated, hands-on Sr. Systems Engineer working with complex electro-mechanical devices in a regulated environment. The standard work hours are approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with some flexibility that can be discussed after selection. You work closely with cross-functional engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams and use test beds, digital sensors, and data analysis tools such as Python to support verification, validation, and reliability testing. The position is structured as a contract role with the potential for renewal based on performance and business needs. Virtual interviews are conducted in two rounds. The environment emphasizes rigorous engineering practices, thorough documentation, and adherence to regulatory expectations while supporting collaboration and technical ownership.
