System Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Four-year or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering, another related discipline, or commensurate work experience or demonstrated competence.
• Typically 4–7 years of work experience, preferably in electrical design and tools, software packages, architecture of electronic hardware, or a related field; alternatively, an advanced degree with 3–5 years of work experience.
• Systems thinking across ink chemistry, printhead architecture, fluidics, and hardware, software, and electrical systems.
• Hands-on experimentation and system design involving hardware, electrical, software, and fluids.
• Advanced mechanistic problem solving, experimental design, applied statistics, measurement systems, and data analysis.
• Independent technical judgment, requirements definition, and evaluation of performance tradeoffs and risks.
• Project planning, prioritization, adaptability, and accountability for deliverables.
• Clear technical communication, cross-functional influence, collaboration, and mentoring.
• Fluent spoken and written English.
• Creativity in developing methods, tools, and intellectual property.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Python, MATLAB, JMP, or equivalent analysis and automation tools.

Responsibilities

• Partner with ink chemists to optimize formulations for print quality, thermal inkjet (TIJ) jettability, drop quality, reliability, durability, and system compatibility.
• Collaborate with printhead, silicon, and fluidic-design teams to optimize microfluidic designs and firing conditions, define operating windows, optimize print performance, and resolve ink–printhead interactions.
• Translate product and program needs into system requirements, performance metrics, acceptance criteria, and technical milestones.
• Define and evolve characterization methods, failure criteria, measurement systems, and accelerated tests for system-representative print performance.
• Develop, qualify, document, and improve R&D laboratory capabilities, including testbeds, fixtures, fluid-delivery systems, recipes, automation, analysis tools, and data-reporting workflows.
• Integrate, optimize, and validate ink and printhead architecture performance across hardware, software, and electrical systems to meet performance targets and balance design tradeoffs through hands-on experimentation.
• Design and execute robust experiments and DOEs to characterize performance, identify sensitivities and failure mechanisms, and validate design improvements using controlled configurations and reliable data.
• Lead root-cause investigations across ink, printhead, and system; test hypotheses and recommend solutions grounded in data and mechanistic understanding.
• Develop test methods and laboratory capabilities for image quality, durability, reliability, and jettability; correlate testbed results with press performance; and define and execute targeted PWI system validation.
• Develop and apply modeling, statistical analysis, automation, and AI-assisted tools to accelerate learning and improve test efficiency.
• Assess technical readiness and risks, coordinate priorities, and support scale-up, qualification, and transfer of ink and fluidic technologies into products.
• Guide and align cross-functional decisions with clear recommendations on performance, operating windows, risks, and next steps.
• Coordinate activities across engineers, chemists, and technicians through clear test plans, methods, results interpretations, and recommendations.
