• Perform reliability testing and assess system interactions.
• Make independent engineering decisions and provide technical solutions.
• Assist in developing manufacturing processes and troubleshooting issues to determine root causes and engineering solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute TMV (Test Method Validation), Test Method Development, DOE (Design of Experiments), and data analysis activities.
• Utilize Python coding skills for data analysis and engineering evaluations.
• Analyze digital sensor outputs and interpret performance data.
• Develop and maintain test beds for system-level testing.
• Troubleshoot complex electro-mechanical system issues.
• Create comprehensive testing plans and execute hands-on testing protocols.
• Author detailed technical reports and documentation.
• Manage defect lifecycle activities, including defect collection, documentation, tracking, and summarization for development partners.
• Analyze test results, evaluate performance, and recommend process improvements.

Additional Responsibilities

• Follow company procedures, engineering standards, and quality practices.
• Participate in defining new components, products, and processes while identifying technical challenges.
• Develop innovative solutions and potentially patentable components or processes.
• Plan and execute engineering projects with minimal supervision.
• Design and participate in experiments using advanced engineering techniques.
• Apply DOE methodologies where appropriate.
• Participate in technical team activities and share engineering knowledge.
• Prepare and present project results to technical teams and stakeholders.
• Monitor work quality and promote a Quality First Time approach.
• Perform additional duties as assigned by management.

Required Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Electrical, Chemical, Biomedical, Software, or related engineering discipline preferred).
• 8+ years of engineering experience in systems engineering, product development, or related technical roles.
• Hands-on experience with electro-mechanical devices and system-level testing.
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills.
• Experience developing and executing test plans and validation strategies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in FDA or FAA regulated environments.
• Medical device industry experience strongly preferred.
• Experience with sensor systems, digital outputs, and data analysis.
• Proficiency with Python or similar programming languages for engineering analysis.
• Experience with Design of Experiments (DOE) methodologies.

Position Overview

This Senior Systems Engineer role requires greater autonomy and technical ownership compared to a standard Systems Engineer position. The successful candidate will independently drive engineering activities, troubleshoot complex problems, execute testing strategies, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to support successful product development.
