About The Position

Join a fast‑moving, entrepreneurial team building a first‑of‑its‑kind novel fluid‑analysis sensing product. As a Systems Engineer, you will help to define the system architecture, integrate mechanical, electrical, sensing, and software components, and bring prototypes and the final product to life. You will work across disciplines to ensure the system functions cohesively end‑to‑end. This includes requirements definition, architecture creation, subsystem integration, prototyping, testing, and supporting design decisions throughout development. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of hardware and software, thrives in fast‑paced environments, and loves building real systems that solve real problems.

Requirements

5-10 years of experience in systems engineering, system architecture, or multidisciplinary product development
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field
Experience architecting systems that combine hardware, software, and sensing elements
Hands‑on experience building and testing prototypes
Strong understanding of system‑level interfaces (electrical, mechanical, software, sensing)
Ability to decompose complex problems into clear requirements and structured architectures
Comfort working in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments and making iterative design decisions
Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively with cross‑disciplinary teams
Clear communication skills for documenting and presenting architecture and system‑level decisions

Nice To Haves

Experience with sensor integration or measurement systems
Experience with embedded software or firmware development
Exposure to fluid systems, microfluidics, or analytical instrumentation
Experience working in early‑stage product development or startup‑like environments

Responsibilities

Define system‑level requirements and architecture for a novel fluid‑analysis sensing product
Integrate mechanical, electrical, sensor, and software subsystems into a cohesive system design
Develop and test functional prototypes, iterating rapidly to validate concepts and inform design choices
Identify and resolve system‑level issues across hardware, sensing, and embedded software interfaces
Support the development of manufacturable architecture for the final product
Collaborate closely with scientists and engineers to translate research concepts into practical, deployable solutions
Work with external partners and vendors contributing components or subsystems
Contribute to system documentation, test plans, and design reviews throughout the development lifecycle
