Senior Systems Engineer

What You'll Do

Role Responsibilities - How You Will Make an Impact

• Serve as the systems engineer across the engineering team, bridging hardware, firmware, and cloud, and owning end-to-end system architecture and the interfaces where domains meet

• Capture, decompose, and maintain current and future system requirements spanning the embedded device, mobile applications, and cloud analytics, and trace them from customer need through verification

• Own the interface control documents (ICDs) and data contracts between firmware, mobile, backend, and data, driving toward machine-readable, version-controlled schemas that keep the BLE, WebSocket, and API contracts aligned as the device firmware and platform evolve

• Dig into the technical detail as needed, across firmware behavior, sensor and hardware integration, power and timing constraints, networking protocols, and cloud data flow, and provide credible technical judgment to the responsible teams

• Champion strong development processes (requirements management, design reviews, configuration and change control, and verification/validation) scaled appropriately for a startup

• Own the creation of clear technical documentation: architecture descriptions, requirements, test plans, and decision records that keep cross-functional teams aligned

• Drive system-level verification and validation, including component simulators, digital twins, and integration testing for functional verification and regression

• Collaborate closely with mobile developers, firmware engineers, hardware engineers, and data scientists to design forward-thinking approaches to hard, multi-domain problems

• This position requires travel less than 10% of the time in support of in-person events including system testing

Relevant Skills and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in systems, electrical, or computer engineering, computer science, or a related field

• 7+ years of engineering experience, with a track record spanning both hardware/firmware and software systems

• Demonstrated ability to operate as a systems engineer across disciplines, owning requirements, interfaces, and architecture on products that combine embedded hardware with cloud software

• Hands-on depth in IoT and embedded systems: sensor integration, firmware/hardware interaction, wireless links such as BLE, constrained-network operation, and device-to-cloud data paths. Familiarity with embedded C, an RTOS such as Zephyr, and low-power wireless SoCs (e.g., Nordic nRF) is a strong plus

• Strong grasp of networking protocols and interface control documents (ICDs)

• Familiarity with cloud-agnostic architectures and modern back-end/orchestration technologies

• Working knowledge of decentralized identity management, including zero-trust frameworks

• Excellent technical writing and documentation skills, with a bias toward making process lightweight and useful rather than bureaucratic

• Experience in a start-up environment
