About The Position

Fluke Calibration is seeking an experienced Staff Systems Engineer to provide system-level technical leadership for Electrical Calibration (ECAL) products based at Fluke Park, Everett, sustaining industry-leading calibrators while defining architectures for next-generation platforms. You will own end-to-end system behavior across hardware, firmware, software, manufacturing, and service, serving as technical authority for architectural decisions, risk management, and long-term product integrity across multi-decade lifecycles. This role requires strong technical judgment and cross-functional influence to balance metrology performance with manufacturability, supply-chain longevity, and serviceability in partnership with Product, Engineering, Operations, and Service.

Requirements

Bachelor or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical field.
Extensive experience in system‑level design and technical leadership for complex electronic products.
Strong foundation in precision analog and digital electronics, control systems, and calibration or measurement systems.
Proven ability to lead technical direction across disciplines without direct managerial authority.
Experience working with microprocessors, DSPs, FPGAs, and laboratory instrumentation (DMMs, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, calibrators).
Strong technical documentation, review, and communication skills.

Nice To Haves

Experience designing and sustaining test, measurement, or calibration products with long service lifetimes.
Familiarity with global compliance and safety standards (e.g., CE, FCC, RoHS, IEC 61010).
Experience supporting manufacturing scale‑up, factory transitions, or long‑term supply chain strategies.
Demonstrated history of solving ambiguous, system‑level technical problems with durable solutions.

Responsibilities

Own and evolve system architectures for sustaining and next-generation ECAL platforms.
Serve as technical authority for tradeoffs (accuracy, stability, control, thermals, cost, risk, and supportability).
Guide architecture across Electrical, Firmware, Software, Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Service.
Define, document, and manage system requirements that translate customer, regulatory, and metrology needs into executable designs.
Ensure requirements traceability from concept through verification, production, and sustaining.
Lead system‑level design reviews and provide technical direction on complex or ambiguous problems.
Provide senior technical leadership for sustaining programs, including component EOL mitigation, factory transfers, performance improvements, and field issue resolution.
Ensure system integrity and calibration performance are preserved across design changes and manufacturing updates.
Act as a key knowledge steward for long‑lived platforms, supporting onboarding and technical continuity.
Ensure system designs are robust, manufacturable, and verifiable, supporting low‑volume / high‑mix production environments.
Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, and Service teams to define test strategies, calibration flows, and service models.
Support verification and validation activities to ensure products meet Fluke standards for accuracy, safety, and reliability.
Collaborate closely with Product Management to align technical decisions with business and customer priorities.
Influence without authority across multiple teams and sites, including global development and manufacturing partners.
Communicate complex system concepts clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
