Systems Engineer 100% Remote

They are not looking for Embedded Engineers. They need candidates with a strong understanding of software systems engineering.

During the interview, candidates will be asked to draw or sketch a system architecture while the interviewers observe. They will then be asked to explain their design decisions, including why they structured the system the way they did, how the components communicate with one another, and the trade-offs they considered.

Candidates should also be prepared to decompose the overall system into subsystems, define requirements, and explain how those requirements flow through the system design.
This is a client facing position, therefore must have excellent communication.
