About The Position

The Staff Systems Engineer, Home Standby Systems Engineering serves as a senior systems integrator for Generac Home products. The role integrates mechanical, electronic, and firmware components into complete Home Standby products and partners with radio, controller, engine, manufacturing, applications, and other engineering teams throughout new-product development and ongoing project work. The engineer defines, documents, manages, communicates, verifies, and validates system-level requirements, using Codebeamer for requirements tracking, and independently drives broad technical direction through completion.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Systems Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
At least 8 years of relevant engineering experience, including systems engineering or systems integration for complex products with interacting mechanical, electrical/electronic, and embedded firmware subsystems.

Nice To Haves

Master of Science degree in a STEM discipline.
INCOSE certification.
Experience with Home Standby generators, power management systems, or other complex products combining mechanical, electrical/electronic, controls, and embedded firmware subsystems.
Experience with systems engineering and requirements management in a product development environment, including the V-model.
Codebeamer experience for requirements management, traceability, and verification tracking.
Creo experience; comparable 3D CAD experience such as SolidWorks is also relevant.
JIRA and Confluence experience.
Experience with radio communications, controllers, engine control modules, manufacturing integration, or connected applications.
Experience creating system architecture documents, including block diagrams, boundary diagrams, schematics, interconnect diagrams, and Interface Control Documents.
Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional teams and translate technical information for varied audiences.
Knowledge of electrical power systems, electromechanical packaging, and applicable regulatory standards.

Responsibilities

Integrate mechanical, electronic, and embedded firmware subsystems into complete Home Standby products.
Partner with engineering and related teams to define subsystem interfaces and resolve integration issues.
Gather customer and stakeholder needs and develop, document, communicate, maintain, and manage system-level requirements.
Manage requirements using Codebeamer.
Define verification and validation strategies and ensure test plans and results demonstrate that system requirements have been met.
Develop and maintain system architecture, block and boundary diagrams, system inputs and outputs, and Interface Control Documents.
Lead and participate in technical design reviews, integration reviews, and cross-functional decision-making throughout the product lifecycle.
Apply DFMEA and DVP&R methods to identify technical risks, define controls, establish validation coverage, and track mitigation actions.
Review 3D CAD models to understand interfaces, packaging, and integration constraints; advanced CAD modeling is not a primary responsibility.
Communicate system risks, opportunities, dependencies, priorities, and recommended actions to technical and business stakeholders.
Translate broad technical direction into executable plans and drive work through completion.
Mentor less experienced engineers and promote consistent requirements, documentation, integration, and validation practices.
Support product development plans to deliver on-schedule, on-cost, on-quality, and compliant solutions.
