About The Position

Diversified Services Network, Inc. (DSN) is seeking a full-time Systems Requirements & Validation Engineer to join its team in Mossville, Illinois. This onsite position supports the development and delivery of Human Machine Interface (HMI) display solutions for power, energy, and transportation applications, including current-generation display platforms and a next-generation display program. The role focuses on systems engineering, requirements, validation, and verification rather than traditional software development. The engineer works across the full product development lifecycle to translate customer and system needs into well-defined requirements, collaborate with development teams during implementation, and use objective testing to demonstrate that completed solutions meet requirements and quality expectations. Programming is valuable, especially for test automation, while the core focus is requirements engineering, validation and verification, systems integration, and product quality.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline with 5–7 years of relevant engineering experience; alternatively, an associate's degree with 9 years of experience or a master's degree with 3 years of experience will be considered.
Experience developing, documenting, reviewing, or managing technical requirements.
Experience developing and executing test plans and test cases for software and/or system validation and verification.
Experience validating embedded systems, HMI applications, controls, or similar electronic systems.
Familiarity with embedded software algorithms, controls, and electronic systems, as well as software development and testing processes.
Experience troubleshooting complex system and software issues.
Familiarity with test automation and scripting, preferably in Python.
Strong technical documentation skills and demonstrated attention to detail.
Strong systems thinking and ability to understand interactions among hardware, software, controls, and HMI components.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Commitment to quality, process discipline, and compliance while managing multiple tasks and priorities.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering disciplines and global teams.
Ownership mindset, taking issues from identification through resolution.

Nice To Haves

Experience with HMI or embedded display systems.
Experience with requirements-to-test traceability.
Experience with Linux operating systems, including Ubuntu or Debian.
Experience with Java, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, C++, or related technologies.
Familiarity with communication protocols such as J1939, Modbus, and proprietary OEM data link protocols.
Experience with diagnostic and validation tools such as CANalyzer, CANape, CADET, ModSim, OEM electronic service tools, or similar.
Familiarity with structured risk-management processes, including FMEA.
Experience with data analysis using Excel, Python, or similar tools.
Experience with Change Request Management (CRM) processes.
Experience working with external suppliers.

Responsibilities

Partner with internal customers, systems engineers, and technical leads to understand application and system needs.
Translate customer and system-level needs into clear, testable requirements and specifications for software development teams.
Develop, document, review, and maintain system and HMI software requirements, updating them as designs, customer needs, and project scope evolve.
Clarify requirements and resolve technical questions with software developers during implementation.
Work with UI/UX resources to define display functionality, workflows, and interface requirements.
Define interfaces between HMI displays and other electronic control modules and systems.
Develop validation and verification strategies, test plans, and test cases based on system and software requirements.
Execute software and system-level functional, regression, sanity, endurance, and performance testing to confirm functionality meets documented requirements and intended system behavior.
Support validation of software releases for complex HMI applications.
Investigate test failures, identify reproducible defect steps, and work with software developers and systems engineers to resolve issues.
Document test results and validation evidence in accordance with applicable ISO and internal quality processes.
Develop automated test scripts to improve test efficiency, repeatability, and coverage.
Set up, configure, and maintain validation benches and test equipment.
Support investigation and resolution of customer and field issues.
Participate in system-level and display-component Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), identifying potential failure modes and supporting prevention, detection, and validation controls.
Apply Built-In Quality (BIQ) principles to contain defects and prevent issues from reaching downstream teams or customers.
Participate in design reviews, requirements reviews, technical deep dives, and New Product Introduction (NPI) and Continuous Product/Process Improvement (CPI) activities.
Support harness design activities.
Drive continuous improvement of requirements, validation, verification, and software quality processes.
