We are seeking a Systems Engineer to lead integration and validation across the Smartmast platform—a ruggedized edge-compute sensor system deployed in remote maritime environments. You will serve as the connective tissue between mechanical, electrical, and software domains, ensuring subsystems function together as a cohesive and reliable unit. This includes defining interfaces, managing system-level requirements, overseeing integration test plans, and validating environmental and operational readiness. The ideal candidate brings a blend of systems thinking, technical breadth, and hands-on execution across lab and field environments.

  • Define, document, and manage system-level requirements, performance targets, and integration interfaces across hardware and software domains
  • Develop integration and test plans to validate full system behavior, including sensor coordination, power-up sequences, thermal behavior, and fault recovery
  • Coordinate mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems to ensure robust operation across a wide range of field conditions
  • Oversee system-level design reviews, integration milestones, and pre-deployment checks to ensure readiness for lab and field testing
  • Support environmental and functional testing including shock, vibration, ingress protection (IP), and thermal cycling
  • Investigate root causes of field issues through structured debugging, test replication, and collaboration with domain experts
  • Maintain system architecture documentation, test protocols, and integration logs to support traceability and reproducibility
  • Work closely with the reliability/test team to design experiments and verify durability across long-duration deployments
  • Contribute to tools and fixtures for system-level diagnostics, calibration, and on-site servicing
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • 6+ years of experience in a systems integration or cross-functional hardware role
  • Familiarity with the full product lifecycle, from requirements definition through testing and production support
  • Experience working with electromechanical systems, embedded computing, and sensor integration
  • Strong analytical and debugging skills, including comfort interpreting logs, schematics, and data streams
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to manage collaboration across multi-disciplinary teams
  • Experience with ruggedized electronics, field-deployed platforms, or maritime/aerospace systems
  • Competitive salary
  • Flexible work hours and the option for remote work
  • Opportunities for professional development and continued education
