Product Systems Engineer
About The Position
TrellisWare Technologies is seeking a Product Systems Engineer to support its hardware and software products. The role is responsible for end-to-end systems engineering of tactical radio products, from requirements definition and design through integration, debugging, verification and validation, and post-release support. The engineer develops deep knowledge of embedded-system hardware and software components and uses that knowledge to make system design decisions and investigate error behavior. Work includes hands-on system operation at both user and developer levels. The position works across engineering, business development, product management, program management, project engineering, manufacturing, and customer teams. It includes defining requirements and architectures, guiding implementation and validation, supporting production quality, helping customers evaluate products, and mentoring engineering staff. Team members are also expected to contribute to team cohesiveness, morale, self-improvement, and talent development.
