Description:

• Engineering - Embedded Systems - Advanced Manages a team within a specific function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints and often embedded as part of a complete device, often including hardware and mechanical parts.
• The role involves working across the complete product lifecycle — from concept and requirements definition through architecture, integration, and validation — to ensure technically robust, reliable, and compliant system solutions.
• The position requires strong system thinking, cross-domain coordination, and hands-on experience defining system behavior for embedded, connected, and electro-mechanical HVAC products. You will collaborate with global teams across hardware, software, controls, and validation functions to develop products that meet performance, quality, and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and manage system and subsystem requirements in accordance with INCOSE systems engineering principles.
• Develop and maintain functional and interface specifications for control systems, sensors, and communication interfaces.
• Define and document system modes, states, and control logic for various operating scenarios.
• Ensure requirements are clear, traceable, and verifiable through structured review and validation processes.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and test teams to ensure alignment and integration of design intent.
• Drive requirement traceability, issue tracking, and change management using JIRA and Confluence.
• Support system integration and validation through functional testing, troubleshooting, and issue resolution.
• Contribute to EOL testing, commissioning, and diagnostic strategies for production and field support.
• Participate in design and technical reviews to ensure compliance with product and system requirements.
• Support continuous improvement of systems engineering methods, templates, and best practices.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering.
• Experience in Systems Engineering / MBSE (HVAC, automotive/Rail/Aero, or energy systems preferred).
• Experience in systems engineering, lifecycle, functional decomposition, and interface management.
• Experience in authoring and maintaining system-level requirements and specifications.
• Experience with hands-on experience with engineering tools for requirement and documentation management.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Master’s degree in electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
• Good understanding of embedded control systems, communication protocols (CAN, RS-485, BLE, Ethernet, Wi-Fi), and cloud-connected features.
• Familiarity with HVAC controls, energy management, or smart home systems.
• Exposure to connected product ecosystems, OTA updates, and telemetry frameworks.
• Awareness of INCOSE SE Handbook and ISO 15288 standards.
• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
