Job Description

Serve as technical leader for a team developing and optimizing processes related to the calibration and manufacture of high-volume thermal-imaging products.  The role requires broad knowledge of infrared imaging systems, strong communication & interpersonal skills, and a demonstrated facility for leading an engineering team.  The Systems Engineer in the calibration-science role works closely with product development teams and product manufacturing teams and has ultimate technical authority for specifying and implementing processes which ensure high-quality, high-yielding thermal-imaging products.  The ideal candidate will have experience in both design and manufacturing.   

Must be US Citizen or PERM Resident

Primary Duties & Responsibilities:

• Define and manage hardware and logic requirements for automated manufacturing stations, verify compliance against them
• Provide technical coordination of a team of hardware and software engineers to define team  strategy, establish priorities, identify interdependencies, resolve issues, and manage risks  
• Lead problem-solving activities focused on containment and resolution of emergencies such as process excursions, yield issues, and requirements / priorities change
• Coordinate with product management, camera design teams, and manufacturing teams to prioritize and achieve technical milestones
• Document decisions, results, lessons learned and best practices
• Collaborate with other systems engineers in peer-reviews, in definition of best practices, and in coaching / training activities

Job Qualifications:

• BS or higher in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science or other related technical field.  Ideal candidate will have a solid background in both hardware and software systems and good general knowledge in thermal and mechanical engineering.
• Strong initiative & drive.  As technical leaders of complex development projects, Systems Engineers must prioritize, multi-task, and lead by example.  A growth mindset is essential to stay abreast of technology trends, take advantage of lessons learned, and acquire new approaches.
• Stellar oral & written communication.  The Systems Engineer generates much of the process documentation and has oversight responsibility for all of it.  He/she is also the focal point for technical coordination.
• Demonstrated authority as a problem solver with a track record of innovative solutions.
• Previous Systems Engineering experience is highly advantageous.  Prior participation in product development and/or high-volume manufacturing is also very valuable to this role.
• While previous experience with thermal imaging technology is not required, ability to learn on the job is critical to success.  Familiarity with optics, sensors, electronics, mechanical design, software development, and/or advanced signal processing will provide a head start to the knowledge ultimately needed to lead development of our future products. 
• Expertise in data analysis, ideally with experience using image-analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python) and data-analysis software (e.g., JMP, EXCEL/PowerBI).
• Systems Engineers must be onsite as required to lead project teams.
• The role has no direct reports.  However, successful Systems Engineers excel at leading development teams and providing technical oversight.
