DTS Lead Systems Engineer

Job Description Summary

The DTS Lead Systems Engineer will provide Systems engineering design expertise to the Data Transfer Systems product team. Systems is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on the product development approach, mindset, and process and includes activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user’s needs. Systems is the discipline that executes a robust process of design, analysis, approach tradeoffs, creation, optimization, integration and verification. The Systems role consists of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs, integration of the subsystems that comprise the design, and the verification that the resulting design fully meets its requirements.

The Lead System Engineer has responsibilities that impact both the team performance and their own performance for both product design, quality, cost and schedule. There is moderate autonomy within the role. High levels of operational judgment are required to achieve outcomes required.
