What are the responsibilities and job description for the Systems Integration and Testing Manager position at Randstad Digital Americas?
Job Summary
We are seeking a Systems Integration and Testing Manager to lead a multidisciplinary engineering team in the design and validation of world-class surface mining equipment. In this pivotal role, you will oversee the seamless integration of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and software subsystems, ensuring every machine meets the highest standards of performance and reliability.
location: Alachua, Florida
job type: Permanent
salary: $130,000 - 170,000 per year
work hours: 8am to 5pm
education: Bachelors
Responsibilities
Systems Integration Leadership: Coordinate the integration of mechanical,
electrical, and software subsystems for new and existing rotary drill products.
Ensure all subsystems (PLC-based controls, hydraulics, structural components,
etc.) work together seamlessly, identifying and resolving interface issues early in
the development cycle.
Testing Strategy and Oversight: Develop and implement system-level test
strategies for product validation. Oversee the creation of test plans, test cases,
and procedures to verify that integrated systems meet design specifications and
safety standards. Manage both lab-based testing and field trials (e.g. prototype
evaluations at mine sites) to validate performance under real-world conditions.
Team Management: Lead a team of engineers. Provide mentorship, set priorities,
and foster a collaborative culture focused on quality and continuous
improvement. Drive team efforts to meet project milestones and product release
deadlines.
Issue Resolution: Oversee troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for any
system-level issues that arise during integration or testing. Guide the team in
diagnosing complex problems that span multiple domains (mechanical, electrical,
software) and drive timely resolutions and design improvements.
Quality and Compliance: Uphold Sandvik's safety and quality standards.
Demonstrate respect and commitment to the IMS system (ISO 9001:2015, ISO
14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018) taking accountability for its effectiveness and
continued improvements. Ensure all testing follows Zero Harm safety practices
and that any incidents or hazards during testing are addressed. Verify that
products meet relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements through
proper test documentation and analysis.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product design engineers,
software developers, and project managers in the Product Development &
Management department. Ensure integration and testing considerations are built
into the product development process (e.g. participate in design reviews and
sprint planning to represent integration/test needs).
Process Improvement: Stay abreast of the latest tools and methodologies for
system integration and testing. Introduce best practices such as test automation,
simulation, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing where appropriate to improve
test coverage and efficiency. Champion a culture of continuous improvement in
integration processes, testing methods, and team competencies.
Qualifications
Education, Licenses & Certifications
Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or
related field) required.
Master's degree is a plus.
Professional certifications such as Project Management Professional (PMP),
Certified Test Manager (ISTQB CTAL), or relevant Six Sigma/quality certifications
are desirable, but not required.
Required Experience, Skills, Knowledge & Abilities
Work Authorization: Ability to work in the U.S. on an indefinite basis without
sponsorship
Functional Experience: 8 years of experience in product development, system
integration, and testing of complex electro-mechanical systems (e.g., heavy
machinery, off-road equipment, automotive, or similar domains). Includes at least
3 years in a leadership role managing engineers or technical projects.
Industry Experience (Preferred): Experience in the mining equipment sector or
heavy mobile machinery is highly valued, with an understanding of the
environmental and operational conditions of mining or construction sites.
Domain Knowledge: Solid understanding of integrating hardware and software
systems. Experience with industrial control systems and communication
protocols (e.g., PLCs, CAN bus) and familiarity with hydraulics and electrical
systems in heavy equipment.
Technical Expertise: Proven ability to oversee multi-disciplinary system
integration and develop effective test strategies for complex machinery.
Comfortable reading engineering drawings, electrical schematics, and software
logic to understand system operation.
Problem Solving: Excellent troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills. Able to
systematically diagnose issues that span mechanical, electrical, and software
domains and drive them to resolution.
Project & Delivery Focus: Strong project management abilities - adept at
planning, organizing, and delivering integration and testing activities on time.
Attentive to detail while keeping overall project goals in focus.
Leadership & Communication: Effective leader with experience building and
motivating engineering teams. Strong communicator who can coordinate cross-
functional efforts and clearly convey technical information and project status to
diverse stakeholders.
Collaboration: Demonstrated ability to work across departments (Design, R&D,
Product Management, Field Service) to achieve common goals. Skilled at
building partnerships that help anticipate integration challenges and ensure
smooth product rollout.
Advanced Skills (Preferred): Familiarity with product lifecycle management tools
(e.g., Teamcenter), test automation frameworks, and simulation/HIL (Hardware-
in-the-Loop) testing setups. Exposure to safety standards (ISO/IEC) for
machinery and experience with field testing and commissioning of equipment is a
plus.
Equal Opportunity Employer: Race, Color, Religion, Sex, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, National Origin, Age, Genetic Information, Disability, Protected Veteran Status, or any other legally protected group status.
