Systems Engineer

Summary

Job Title: Systems Engineer
Location: Fridley, MN

Key Responsibilities:

Facilitate and lead structured technical design discussions, driving clear decisions, trade-offs, and actionable outcomes across embedded control system features
Ensure alignment of designs with system architecture principles, including both RTOS-based platforms and Embedded Linux systems
Drive integration across hardware, software, firmware, and communication layers, ensuring coherent system-level behavior and interface alignment
Define and maintain system interfaces and communication models, including data flow, timing behavior, and interactions across controllers, devices, and networked components
Support design and integration of features interacting with power system controls, including generator, switchgear, and distributed energy system applications
Facilitate alignment on communication architectures, including Ethernet-based systems and industrial communication frameworks such as OPC UA, DDS, or similar technologies
Develop and maintain architecture artifacts including system diagrams, network representations, interface definitions, and decision logs, ensuring traceability across requirements, design, and validation
Identify and resolve system-level ambiguities, architectural gaps, and integration risks, including failure modes, communication behaviors, and edge-case conditions
Engage with software and platform teams to understand embedded system behavior, including interactions between application software, middleware, operating system, and hardware
Support system-level debugging and integration analysis, including investigation of issues spanning embedded software, operating system behavior, networking, and hardware interactions
Partner with validation teams to define system-level test strategies, including networked test environments, hardware-in-the-loop systems, and integration lab testing
Support development of test setups and validation environments to evaluate reliability, startup behavior, communication stability, and recovery scenarios
Ensure consistency between design intent, configuration artifacts, and validation outcomes, enabling traceable and repeatable system verification
Support use of model-based, data-driven, or configuration-driven workflows, ensuring alignment between system definition and deployed behavior
Act as a cross-functional integration leader, coordinating across global teams, stakeholders, and subject-matter experts to drive system readiness and resolve technical issues
Track and drive closure of cross-team dependencies, design actions, and integration issues to ensure program progress
Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering processes, documentation standards, validation infrastructure, and design governance practices

Required Skills and Experience:

Strong understanding of embedded systems and software architecture, including software layering (drivers, middleware, application), system services, and hardware interaction
Working experience with Embedded Linux systems, including familiarity with system architecture, services, processes, networking, and runtime behavior in embedded environments
Practical experience with embedded software or firmware development environments, including build systems, deployment workflows, and basic debugging approaches
Understanding of RTOS-based systems and differences between RTOS and Linux-based control architectures
Experience with embedded communications and networking, including Ethernet-based systems and distributed communication frameworks such as OPC UA, DDS, or similar
Ability to analyze and troubleshoot system-level issues spanning software, operating system, networking, and hardware domains
Familiarity with real-time and deterministic system constraints, including timing behavior, scheduling, communication latency, and system recovery
Experience with system integration and validation, including development of test plans, test setups, and evaluation of integrated system behavior
Familiarity with integration lab environments, networked test systems, or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing approaches
Understanding of configuration-driven or model-based development approaches and how they translate into deployed system behavior
Demonstrated systems thinking capability, including evaluation of end-to-end system behavior, subsystem dependencies, and design trade-offs
Proven ability to lead technical discussions and influence decisions without formal authority across architecture, software, controls, and validation teams
Strong documentation skills, including development of architecture diagrams, interface definitions, validation documentation, and decision records
Demonstrated ability to work across multiple technical domains simultaneously and integrate inputs into cohesive system-level outcomes
Strong ownership mindset with the ability to drive ambiguous, cross-functional work to closure

Preferred Skills:

Strong understanding of power system controls concepts, including generator systems, switchgear interactions, and system-level control behavior
Experience working directly on Embedded Linux-based control platforms such as Yocto or similar environments
Experience in power generation, microgrid, or mission-critical power system applications
Familiarity with distributed control architectures and networked system design
Experience with model-based design tools such as Simulink or equivalent
Experience with embedded software debugging tools, logging frameworks, or diagnostics in Linux or RTOS environments
Experience with validation tools, data logging systems, or reliability tracking frameworks
Experience supporting or leading system integration efforts or product demonstrations
Familiarity with engineering tools and workflows such as Jira, Confluence, PGBST, or similar platforms
