## Description

As a (Senior) Systems Engineer, you will own the system-level architecture of our robotic hand and ensure that its mechanical, electrical, actuator, electronics and software subsystems work together as one reliable product.

You will define system and subsystem interfaces, translate requirements into technical solutions, drive system-level trade-offs and lead integration from concept through validation. This is a hands-on role spanning architecture, technical decisions, prototyping and real-world problem solving.

What you will do:

 * Define and evolve the system architecture of the robotic hand
 * Define and manage interfaces between mechanical, electrical, actuator, electronics and software subsystems
 * Translate product requirements into system requirements, specifications and technical concepts
 * Develop and integrate actuator, sensing, electronics and control concepts
 * Drive system-level trade-offs across performance, reliability, cost and manufacturability
 * Identify technical risks and dependencies and drive them to resolution
 * Lead system integration, troubleshooting and root-cause analysis
 * Define and support system verification and validation
 * Work closely with mechanical, electrical, electronics, firmware, controls and robotics engineers
