About the Senior Systems Engineer Role

Join a dynamic and rapidly growing engineering organization in Largo, Florida, as a Senior Systems Engineer. This pivotal role offers full lifecycle ownership of complex electro-mechanical and embedded systems, from initial concept through requirements definition, design, integration, verification, and ultimate product release. Ideal for seasoned engineers who thrive on technical challenges and cross-functional collaboration, you'll deliver high-reliability products for demanding operational environments. Robert Half is proud to partner with this innovative company to connect top talent with this exciting opportunity in embedded systems engineering.

As a key technical contributor and project engineer, you'll work hand-in-hand with hardware, software, and test teams to architect robust solutions. This position demands expertise in system-level thinking, where your ability to bridge disciplines will drive project success. Located in the heart of Largo, FL, this full-time role offers a chance to contribute to cutting-edge technologies while enjoying Florida's vibrant lifestyle.

Key Responsibilities

Systems Design and Architecture

• Lead end-to-end system-level design, analysis, and integration for new product development.
• Develop sophisticated system architectures incorporating digital communication interfaces, embedded processing units, advanced control algorithms, and supporting electronics.
• Perform detailed modeling and analysis of dynamic systems, including uncertainty quantification and performance optimization.

Requirements and Project Management

• Own the complete requirements lifecycle: definition, decomposition, traceability, and verification.
• Support proposal efforts with technical concepts, accurate cost estimates, realistic schedules, and comprehensive compliance documentation.
• Leverage modern tools for requirements management, configuration control, and issue tracking to ensure structured, efficient development processes.

Collaboration and Testing

• Collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, and software teams to guarantee precise interpretation and implementation of requirements.
• Develop rigorous test requirements and lead qualification, verification, and acceptance testing activities.
• Provide ongoing engineering support for sustaining engineering on legacy products, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

Required Qualifications

To excel in this Senior Systems Engineer position, candidates must bring a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related field, along with at least 5-7 years of hands-on experience in embedded systems or electro-mechanical product development. Proven leadership in full lifecycle projects is essential, with deep knowledge of system architectures featuring embedded processors, real-time control systems, and digital interfaces (e.g., CAN, Ethernet, SPI).

Key skills include proficiency in dynamic systems modeling tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink), requirements management platforms (DOORS, Polarion, Jira), and verification methodologies. Strong analytical abilities for uncertainty analysis and performance characterization are critical. Excellent communication skills are required to interface with cross-functional teams and stakeholders. U.S. citizenship or eligibility to work on defense-related projects may be preferred given the high-reliability focus. Experience in proposal writing, cost estimation, and compliance (e.g., DO-178C, MIL-STD) is a significant plus.
