Specific knowledge:

As an Electronic Systems Engineer you will take the technical lead of the system/subsystem electronic aspects for the entire lifecycle of a project. It starts by understanding the customer electronic requirements, translating them into lower board level requirements, and performing a conceptual electronics design.

You will then take care of the technical steering of the electronics design team (internal/external) so that they work according to specification, planning, and cost. You will ensure there is overall technical coherence and will do the follow-up on the electronics design/development team from conceptual design to detailed implementation. You will also make sure that there is proper requirement follow-up and traceability throughout the project by reviewing the board level electronic circuits and assisting the project team during technical reviews.

Finally, you will prepare and participate in system/subsystem electronic functional and performance test campaigns before handing over the system/subsystem (including proper documentation) to the client (internal/external).

Nice to have qualifications:

• Customer focused, proactive attitude
• Organized and methodical approach to the work with strong communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple tasks at one time, to work autonomously and in team
• Strong attitude to achieve results within time and cost constraints
• Problem solving attitude
