The system engineering team is responsible for developing, integrating, and building advanced sensing systems, combining cutting-edge modules with advanced algorithms across multi-disciplinary domains: electro-optical components, unique physical models, bio-mechanical considerations, mechanical and electrical trade-offs, dedicated SW & FW, large-scale data analysis, and classic and ML-based algorithms.
Description
The system engineer role is highly collaborative, requiring close work with multiple HW and SW teams to analyze and optimize overall system performance. It demands hands-on experience, the ability to define and track system specifications, and the capacity to lead multi-disciplinary teams in delivering reliable, high-performance system features.","responsibilities":"Own the complete system life-cycle - from Proof-Of-Concept through preliminary design, detailed architecture, module builds, testability, and delivery to mass-production
Risk mapping and mitigation activities
Define data collection requirements
Signal analysis and trade-off mapping
System optimization
Collaborate with multiple HW and SW teams to analyze and optimize overall system performance
Define and track system specifications
Lead multi-disciplinary teams to deliver reliable, high-performance system features
Preferred Qualifications
MSc/PhD in a relevant field (EE, ME, CS, or Physics) or equivalent.
Hands on lab experience with optical setups and/or electrical equipment.
Experience with laser safety and compliance domains.
Experience in the consumer electronics industry and vendors.
Minimum Qualifications
BSc in Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics
At least 5 years of experience as a system engineer of multi-disciplinary systems, delivering products from PoC to mass production phase.
Detailed understanding of optical sensing systems and modules design: image sensors, laser emitters, optical elements, mechanics, assembly processes, laser drivers, SoC computation and interfaces.
Experience defining and tracking system requirements and specifications from system level, through sub-modules and components.
Expertise in system level modeling/simulation, image/signal processing and large scale data analysis in Matlab and/or Python.
Great interpersonal skills - team player with the ability to collaborate across multiple groups.
