Systems Engineer

The role

You will own the architecture, system definition and implementation of a robotic system from concept to field deployment. You will work with project managers and technical leads to translate mission needs into system-level designs and coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams.

What you will do

• Transform system requirements into architectures solutions.
• Lead cross-functional design across mechanical, electrical, software, GNC, and ML teams.
• Conduct feasibility studies, trade-off analyses, and system-level simulations.
• Oversee system integration, prototyping, and validation.
• Drive design and architecture reviews.
• Implement processes to enhance requirements traceability, system documentation, and validation workflows.

Required qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in system engineering within robotics, aerospace, or defense sectors.
• MSc in Engineering (any field).
• Proven experience leading full system lifecycles (concept to prototype to validation).
• Strong background in system architecture, requirements engineering, and trade-off analysis.
• Broad engineering culture with understanding of mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems.
• Experience coordinating multi-disciplinary teams and managing technical interfaces.
• Rigorous, structured, and mission-driven mindset with strong analytical skills.
• Excellent communication and documentation abilities.

Nice to have

• PhD is a plus
• Experience with UAS or defense systems
