location: Alachua, Florida

job type: Permanent

salary: $130,000 - 170,000 per year

work hours: 8am to 5pm

education: Bachelors



responsibilities:

? Systems Integration Leadership: Coordinate the integration of mechanical,

electrical, and software subsystems for new and existing rotary drill products.

Ensure all subsystems (PLC-based controls, hydraulics, structural components,

etc.) work together seamlessly, identifying and resolving interface issues early in

the development cycle.

? Testing Strategy and Oversight: Develop and implement system-level test

strategies for product validation. Oversee the creation of test plans, test cases,

and procedures to verify that integrated systems meet design specifications and

safety standards. Manage both lab-based testing and field trials (e.g. prototype

evaluations at mine sites) to validate performance under real-world conditions.

? Team Management: Lead a team of engineers. Provide mentorship, set priorities,

and foster a collaborative culture focused on quality and continuous

improvement. Drive team efforts to meet project milestones and product release

deadlines.

? Issue Resolution: Oversee troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for any

system-level issues that arise during integration or testing. Guide the team in

diagnosing complex problems that span multiple domains (mechanical, electrical,

software) and drive timely resolutions and design improvements.

? Quality and Compliance: Uphold Sandvik's safety and quality standards.

Demonstrate respect and commitment to the IMS system (ISO 9001:2015, ISO

14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018) taking accountability for its effectiveness and

continued improvements. Ensure all testing follows Zero Harm safety practices

and that any incidents or hazards during testing are addressed. Verify that

products meet relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements through

proper test documentation and analysis.

? Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product design engineers,

software developers, and project managers in the Product Development &

Management department. Ensure integration and testing considerations are built

into the product development process (e.g. participate in design reviews and

sprint planning to represent integration/test needs).

? Process Improvement: Stay abreast of the latest tools and methodologies for

system integration and testing. Introduce best practices such as test automation,

simulation, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing where appropriate to improve

test coverage and efficiency. Champion a culture of continuous improvement in

integration processes, testing methods, and team competencies.
