Staff Systems Engineer – Analog Garage

What You'll Do

• Serve as systems engineering lead for one or more Analog Garage programs from early concept through prototype and minimum viable product (MVP).
• Facilitate system-level thinking to help teams converge on what to build next—and what not to build—to maximize learning and progress.
• Make assumptions, constraints, tradeoffs, and uncertainties explicit to enable sound technical decision-making.
• Partner closely with the project manager, program champion, and business discovery lead to align system decisions with program goals and learning milestones.
• Contribute to a strong systems engineering culture by mentoring and sharing best practices.
• System Definition & Experimentation Clarify ambiguous operational concepts, users, stakeholders, and system context to frame meaningful system requirements and experiments.
• Shape end-to-end architectures spanning sensors, signal chains, embedded, software, and algorithms that enable incremental build–measure–learn cycles.
• Drive development of use cases and functional requirements in service of hypothesis testing and learning.
• Decompose systems into subsystems and define clear interfaces and trade-offs, including build versus buy decisions.
• Continuously revise system artifacts in response to new learning and changing assumptions.
• Execution & Integration Hands-on with system prototyping and integration, working closely across disciplines.
• Work with program teams to align on integration milestones, manage dependencies, and guide the system through staged integration, and identify resource needs and constraints.
• Evaluate technologies, engage vendors, startups and academic partners as needed.
• Ensure alignment across hardware and software teams through clear system interfaces, shared assumptions, and coordinated integration.
• Required Experience 6–10+ years of industry experience with increasing system-level responsibility.
• Demonstrated experience designing and integrating multi‑disciplinary systems , with depth in at least one technical domain (e.g., electronics, embedded systems, signal processing, robotics, sensing, or software systems).
• Comfort working across hardware and software boundaries, including early‑stage prototypes.
• Quick to adopt new technologies with good problem-solving skills.
• Proven experience structuring ambiguity into executable system concepts.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to influence without authority in cross‑functional teams.
• Bonus points for simulation, modeling or signal chain analysis experience.
• Master’s degree, or equivalent experience, in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
