As a Systems Engineer, you’ll design, integrate, and optimize complex systems that drive the semiconductor industry forward. Your expertise in systems thinking and problem-solving is essential as you collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop advanced solutions to intricate processes and writing system specifications. You’ll be responsible for analyzing requirements, defining system architectures, conducting thorough testing, and ensuring seamless integration of subsystems. Additionally, you’ll identify and mitigate risks, confirming that our systems meet the highest quality standards and exceed customer expectations.
You will qualify and improve the performance of current and emerging peripherals (audio, camera, display, as well as forward looking‑looking modalities) constrained by smart Glasses form factors. You will transform ambiguous performance needs into measurable requirements, building or brokering the metrology to measure them, and using architectural modeling to drive technology downselects. You will lead execution in close collaboration with partners across R&D, process development, and reliability. This role emphasizes hands-on‑on systems engineering and metrology.
Responsibilities
- Derive clear, testable performance requirements from userlevel and ‑level and system needs; decompose into subsystem and component‑level needs; decompose into subsystem and component specs.
- Build analytical or simulation models (to predict performance and guide trade‑offs) through sensitivity analyses.
- Generate downselect criteria and decision frameworks.
- Establish and/or develop internal measurement capability; define golden fixtures, calibration procedures, and acceptance criteria.
- Technical lead for external lab and/or contractor engagement related to peripheral characterization and performance improvements
Minimum Qualifications
- BS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field
- 6+ years in hardware systems, peripherals, or metrology/characterization roles.
- Proficiency in system modeling (e.g., MATLAB/Python), data analysis, and requirements decomposition.
- Hands‑on lab experience: test fixtures, automation, calibration, uncertainty analysis, GR&R.
- Demonstrated experience in at least two domains: audio, imaging, photometry, or sensing (eye tracking, IMU, depth, etc.) based on IEC, AES, or other domain-specific standards bodies
- Strong documentation and cross functional‑functional communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with direct development and commissioning of automated metrology + data pipeline
- Experience with wafer/package integration of sensor elements
- Statistical methods: DoE, R&R, SPC, tolerance stacks, Monte Carlo.
- Experience with 2nd or 3rd party laboratory and/or vendor management.
- Prior architectural trade studies that influenced technology downselects, preferably in highly power & space constrained architectures (Smartglasses, Edge devices)
