Job description

Teledyne Micropac is seeking a Systems Engineer to lead cross-disciplinary product definition and system architecture for advanced microelectronic solutions, PCB modules, and subsystem-level designs supporting space, and defense applications.

This role combines deep technical expertise with market insight and customer engagement skills, enabling Teledyne to deliver differentiated, high-performance systems that meet the demanding requirements of next-generation missions. The System Application Engineer will serve as a strategic interface between engineering, product management, and customers - guiding concept definition, requirements development, technical validation, and business alignment from idea inception through production deployment.

The essential functions and key responsibilities for the position include, but are not limited to:

  • Lead the design, analysis, and definition of system architectures at the integrated circuit (IC) selection, PCB, and subsystem level.
  • Apply deep experience in radiation effects on electronics to architect robust systems for space and other harsh environments.
  • Define system-level trade studies, partitioning, and performance optimization for advanced mixed-signal, digital, and RF assemblies.
  • Ensure designs meet all qualification, reliability, and manufacturability requirements consistent with aerospace-grade standards.
  • Drive design-for-reliability and design-for-testability strategies across the product life cycle.
  • Lead product definition and strategic product ideation aligned with Teledyne’s technology roadmaps.
  • Conduct competitive assessments, market analysis, and pricing strategy development.
  • Collaborate with executive leadership to establish business cases and go-to-market strategies.
  • Serve as a technical and product ambassador - presenting and promoting solutions to key customers.
  • Conduct voice-of-customer (VoC) engagements and define Statements of Work (SoWs) documents.
  • Provide technical support and training to customers, sales engineers, and FAEs.
  • Partner with engineering and operations to ensure manufacturability and qualification compliance.
  • Mentor internal teams in advanced system design and customer communication.
