About The Position

As a Sr. Engineer, SEM Systems Engineering in San Jose, you will specify, design, develop, realize, integrate, and test modules and tools in close collaboration with cross-functional partners and suppliers. You will deliver within system specifications, cost targets, and project schedules, ensuring timely realization of solutions that contribute to competitive, achievable, and serviceable products. As job grade increases (JG06–JG12), the role expands from executing well-defined engineering work to leading technical scope, realizing complex modules, driving roadmap direction, and steering teams across multiple complex designs to ensure system-level integration and delivery.

Requirements

BS degree in technical field and 8+ years with substantial general work experience.
Technical & functional skills: Requirements, Interfaces & Technical Specification Management: Ability to identify, analyze, document, and manage requirements with traceability, translate them into clear specifications, and align interfaces so engineering deliverables meet intent and enable reliable downstream design, integration, and verification.
Engineering Solution Development: Ability to develop engineering concepts and solutions, make sound technical tradeoffs, resolve issues, and realize designs that meet functionality, performance, cost, compliance, and schedule constraints within system/module specifications.
Integration, Verification & Validation (V&V) Execution: Ability to plan and execute verification and validation, ensure qualification evidence supports release readiness, and support system/product integration by coordinating dependencies and applying disciplined configuration/traceability to deliver working, testable solutions.
Behavioral & leadership skills: Drives Results: The ability to translate strategic and technical goals into clear priorities, execution plans, and measurable outcomes, delivering committed results on time and with the right quality by taking ownership, managing trade-offs, removing obstacles, and sustaining momentum across stakeholders and dependencies.
Demonstrates Self-awareness: The ability to understand and manage one’s own strengths, limitations, emotions, and impact on others; to actively seek and use feedback; and to adapt behaviors and decisions to improve collaboration, leadership effectiveness, and results, especially in high-pressure, ambiguous, or complex environments.
