• Create and maintain technical artifacts, including:
• Requirements documentation
• Architecture and design diagrams
• System models
• State machines
• Sequence diagrams
• Technical specifications
• Develop testable system requirements and establish requirements traceability.
• Participate in system architecture and design reviews.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve complex software and system-level issues.
• Translate business and engineering requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Support SDK and engineering tooling initiatives across embedded and distributed software systems.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of Systems Engineering experience supporting complex software, embedded systems, or hardware/software products.
• Experience defining and documenting detailed system and software requirements.
• Experience designing and documenting system and software architectures.
• Strong understanding of software systems, software stacks, and embedded systems concepts.
• Experience creating technical artifacts such as architecture diagrams, specifications, requirements documentation, and system models.
• Ability to communicate and defend technical design decisions.
