Senior Engineer II Systems Integration

The Opportunity

The Systems Integration Engineer applies an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to ensure and verify the design of the subsystems integrate together and function optimally as a system, to provide system solutions, improvements and enhancements to achieve overall systems performance.

What you'll Work on

• Defines critical performance requirements that link to system design requirements across interacting functions. Leads the development of systems integration test methods/ processes and troubleshooting instrument and assay/reagent interaction issues to determine root cause and solutions.
• Develops and executes system related (i.e., hardware, software, assay, etc.) verification & validation (V&V) and/or characterization protocols and/or simulations and develops/interprets complex written data package summaries in accordance with governing procedures. Develop plans for integration, standards, performance, and reliability testing.
• Leads team members in application and analysis of multiple optimization process techniques. Set targets, ranges and specs – Design of experiments (DOE), Guard band, System Error Budget Analysis, Capability (CPk), test method development, determine functionality and system compatibility of multiple system components and troubleshoots of parts and subsystems. Reviews and develops FMEA, hazards, modes of control for risk management. Leads complex investigations involving interacting system level issues.
• Collaborates with technical organization to develop and refine system solutions through the concept, feasibility, development, and qualification phases of the product development process.
• Manages systems related analysis to assess performance against design specification, and assessment of system interactions. Leads technical review of complex system integration, verification, and characterization studies.
• Guides application of sound, systematic problem-solving methodologies in identifying, prioritizing, communicating, and resolving system level technical issues.
• Promotes collaboration with various systems, assay, engineering, and instrument support departments/disciplines (e.g., systems integration, quality engineering, assay and instrument design, on-market support, software, technology) through knowledge of the interaction between departments/disciplines and how their products/processes affect one another and impact processes (e.g., Assay Development, Operations, Business, Quality, Regulatory, Quality Engineering).
• Oversees the establishment, execution, and development of tools and practices that link to system design across interacting functions (i.e. – hardware, software, and/or assay, etc.).
• Leads various analyses and cross functional collaboration to optimize total system performance for functionality, reliability, maintainability, testability, human systems integration, survivability, vulnerability, susceptibility, system security, regulatory, certification, product assurance and other specialties quality factors into a preferred configuration to ensure mission success.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors Degree (± 16 years) in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) or closely related discipline.
• Minimum 7 years of experience
• Recognized experience leading complex system and risk analysis - Demonstrated ability to lead and utilize data to make decisions and influence stakeholders 
• Demonstrated success in technical proficiency, creativity, and independent thought. 
• Demonstrated ability to apply principles of systems thinking to accelerate performance
• Expert knowledge of systems and/or assay development principles and concepts 
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Knowledge of Product Risk Management Best Practices and Tools
• Demonstrated Customer Focus, making their needs a primary focus of one’s actions

Preferred Qualifications

• Analytical design, Design for Six Sigma, or similar tool set preferred.
• Experience working in a broader enterprise/cross-division business unit model preferred.
• Ability to work in a highly matrixed and geographically diverse business environment.
• Ability to travel, including internationally.
