About The Position

As a Systems Engineer at Det-Tronics, you will help develop system requirements and architectures for new product development and sustaining projects. Working alongside experienced engineers, you will translate customer and product needs into clear technical requirements and support verification and validation activities. You will collaborate with electrical, software/firmware, mechanical, and test engineers while building your technical expertise and taking on greater responsibility as you grow. The role supports systems engineering across the product lifecycle, including requirements management, architecture development, concept generation, design, risk analysis, traceability, and verification and validation. You will track assigned activities, communicate progress and risks, participate in cross-functional technical discussions and design reviews, and follow established development procedures and documentation practices.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
3+ years of professional engineering experience.
1+ year of hands-on experience developing or managing requirements for electromechanical products.

Nice To Haves

Experience contributing to a project involving embedded software or firmware.
Familiarity with requirements and test case management tools such as DOORS, Jama, or Jira.
Exposure to connected products and product cybersecurity concepts.
Familiarity with embedded systems and microcontroller-based products.
Exposure to high-hazard or regulated environments, such as industrial life safety (e.g., SIL 2), hazardous-location certification (ATEX/IECEx, FM, UL), aerospace, or medical devices.
Ability to help translate customer and product needs into clear technical requirements and communicate them to electrical, software/firmware, and mechanical engineers.
Ability to collaborate effectively, complete assigned work independently, and seek guidance when needed.
Exposure to development lifecycle activities, including requirements definition, design, implementation, or testing.
Familiarity with FMEA, root cause analysis, or statistical analysis.
Interest in improving engineering processes, requirements, and test documentation.

Responsibilities

Develop and manage requirements, with clear rationale, for systems that include hardware, software/firmware, and mechanical components, with guidance from experienced engineers.
Contribute to system architecture development and document supporting simulations and analyses.
Support systems engineering activities for new and existing products across the product lifecycle.
Contribute to concept generation and system and subsystem designs that support reliability, safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
Use requirements management tools to maintain traceability between requirements and verification and validation test cases, and work with the test team to confirm appropriate test coverage.
Participate in risk analyses and help develop, implement, and verify risk mitigation measures.
Track assigned engineering activities and communicate progress, risks, and results to the project team.
Participate in cross-functional technical discussions and design reviews, presenting assigned work and incorporating feedback.
Collaborate with project team members and follow established development procedures and documentation practices.
Support assigned activities across product development and sustaining projects, with guidance on priorities.
