What will you do?


In the role of Senior Systems Engineer, you will have the overall system and technical responsibility for the development of new and existing analysis systems.


You will also initiate development work that ensures that the designs are competitive by meeting the current and future needs of our customers and requirements from regulatory authorities.


You will work with system definition, concept development, and system design throughout the product life cycle to distribute requirements and work closely with the other departments as hardware, software, and verification.
