Job description

Overview :

We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer with deep expertise in the design and development of electromechanical systems to join our high-performance engineering team. This individual will be instrumental in delivering innovative, scalable solutions across a range of scientific instrumentation platforms. The ideal candidate brings over years of experience, a strong technical foundation, and a proven ability to drive complex system-level designs in high-precision environments. Key Responsibilities :

  • Lead the architecture, design, and integration of sophisticated electromechanical systems used in scientific instrumentation.
  • Provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams, ensuring cohesive and innovative system solutions that meet technical, operational, and business requirements.
  • Develop and refine system-level specifications and lead risk-based design strategies from concept through production.
  • Apply advanced problem-solving skills to resolve complex challenges in high-precision applications, balancing performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
  • Drive the selection and integration of key system components including sensors, actuators, control elements, and embedded hardware / software.
  • Conduct detailed system modeling, simulations, and performance trade-offs to validate design integrity and ensure system robustness.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, mechanical, software, and manufacturing engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical direction across programs.
  • Ensure system designs align with compliance standards, quality systems, and industry regulations.
  • Document and communicate design decisions, system architectures, verification strategies, and validation results to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.
  • years of experience in the design, development, and integration of complex electromechanical systems—preferably in the scientific instrumentation, medical device, aerospace, or precision manufacturing industries.
  • Demonstrated experience leading system-level design efforts from concept through production launch.
  • Deep understanding of systems engineering principles, including requirements development, interface definition, validation / verification planning, and risk management.
  • Proficiency in control systems, electromechanical integration, and embedded system interactions.
  • Experience with simulation, modeling, and analysis tools (, MATLAB / Simulink, ANSYS, or equivalent).
  • Familiarity with product development in a regulated environment (, ISO, FDA, or similar standards).
  • Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive alignment on complex technical challenges.

    • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Background in optics, vacuum systems, or microfluidic technologies.
  • Experience with FMEA / DFMEA and reliability engineering.
  • Patent or publication history in systems engineering or instrumentation design.
